Members Mr. Vixen Posted May 24, 2011 Members Share Posted May 24, 2011 This is all too much. I'm getting emotional on the daily. Life won't be the same without O. Daytime today certainly is coming to the end of an era this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 24, 2011 Members Share Posted May 24, 2011 Boy I WISH Aretha would take Pine Valley to church in September. They'd have to scrape my ass up off of the ground, on the real. Aretha just came in and stole Usher's moment. Go on, go on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 24, 2011 Members Share Posted May 24, 2011 I choked up when dude from Morehouse choked up and it was an uphill battle from there. I knew Aretha was going to work in a praise break, she always does. And you know Ursher was thinking, "With all due respect Queen, I got dis." (He didn't.) Notice Patti in fresh caftan was nowhere near a mic, she was probably like, "Unh-unh, they not gonna do me like they did with Miss Cute back in '85!"

Administrator Toups Posted May 25, 2011 Administrator Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm going to miss The Oprah Winfrey Show. There's no other show like it where you can watch celebrity interviews, or discussion about real life issues, or stories that warm your heart and makes you cry, or hearing about unbelievable stories, or learning about topics/issues you never heard about. Oprah's show was one of a kind because it affected MILLIONS of people WORLDWIDE whether it was men, women, old or young. It changed peoples lives and sometimes it saved people's lives. I also believe by watching the Oprah show, it made you a better person. And that's one of the reasons why when I have children, I'm going to want them to watch Oprah's reruns or dvds. Her show was a big educator and I'm glad to know that teachers are showing her episodes in the classroom. Her show is such a great teaching tool. One of my favorite things about Oprah is that she made people smile and laugh. I LOVED her give-away episodes just because of the reaction of the audience. I couldn't help but have a huge smile from watching the hysteria and joy of others. I just want to thank Oprah for helping and wanting to make the world a better place. Thank you, Oprah!

Members DaytimeFan Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 The perfect ending to the most iconic television talk show in history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 My local newspaper posted a blurb about the finale on their Facebook today, and the dumb asses are coming out in droves to say that she hasn't accomplished much, some even calling her a racist. I really hate people sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 Let's not even compare the two. Totally different gigs. Johnny entertained. Oprah transformed millions of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 Daytime will not be the same. For so long, it was Oprah and all the other talk show. She was the gold standard. Everyone else was just fluff 'n filler. And now she's gone and all that'll be left is a vast wasteland. No Oprah. Only 4 soaps. Daytime will soon be nothing but infomercials for jerkoff/arm-toning devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted May 25, 2011 Members Share Posted May 25, 2011 Very well said. I hate sad goodbyes no matter how hard I tried to remain optimistic knowing that Oprah will still be around. God knows there were plenty of days I watched cartoons, sitcom reruns, porn before my parents got home, or Judge shows over the years instead of her show, but I always appreciated the familiarity, the warmth, and the reliability of her always being there at four o'clock on channel 7. I remember when she was still doing *trash talk* if you want to call it that and I find it curious how at first Jerry and Maury were doing today's Oprah (or Donohue really) before they went to the dark side. I will never forget this episode, forget the exact topic though, where this guy was relaying a story about he and this guy having sex with this girl at the same time and Oprah was like, "I don't understand how you could be having sex with her a the same time", and the guy is like, "Well, I mean... we sandwiched her." *groans from audience* Oprah repeats, "You sandwiched her. Okay. I just want to remind you that this is daytime TV and there are kids at home..." Talk show hosts used to say that a lot back then. But damn O, you asked! A similar instance when this poor little boy hanged himself at the age of like 9 and O had on the mother and asked her about the rumor he was being teased at school for soiling his pants. The mother says, "No, just skid marks." Oprah solemnly repeats, "Skid marks. Okay." SO AWKWARD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
