Members Saving ATWT Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Warning--The Talk may turn men gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 "Talk" is holding steady at 2.2 million viewers. no mention of any ratings, especially demos, yet. ATWT had slightly more viewers till the end or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I watched I think Wednesday or Thursday and I actually think the hosts overall show promise. Throw in a Joy Behar or Star Jones and it would really pop. The big problem is Leah Remini who adds nothing but annoys the living daylights out of me. I also HATE HATE HATE the mom format. The hot topics are too preachy and sugary sweet and not relevant enough. They need to get over the mom garbage and simply be a talk show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 Because most morning viewers are set in their ways. Today Show and GMA have a following who watch their show every morning, just because they always have. The Early Show has only been on a little over a decade right? They will never get out of 3rd place. I know I automatically put it on NBC every morning out of habit. Not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 22, 2010 Members Share Posted October 22, 2010 I watched for the first fifteen minutes today and almost had to throw up because of the syrupy, self-congratulatory attitudes. And also Sharon Osborne and her sob story about her father teaching her to act and lie to keep the electricity on.... each woman giving their "rags to riches" tale, as if to say in a very solicitous way.. "Mothers of america..... WATCH US! LOVE US!! And altough we make more money in one year than you'll ever see in your lifetime, wer'e JUST LIKE YOU!! WE knew this would happen, but I haven't seen anything pimped this hard on Network TV in years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 23, 2010 Members Share Posted October 23, 2010 Sharon doesn't look good...like her entire face was smeared with honey and put in front of a beehive. I watched it a little bit...Leah Remini needs to DIAL IT THE F DOWN. She takes talking over the others to a new extreme! She makes the View ladies look polite. The only thing that made me smile was their jabs at Whoopi and Joy walking off the View. That would make it entertaining for me...if the two shows subtly bitched each other out every day.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 23, 2010 Members Share Posted October 23, 2010 I think it has to start being a bit more honest. When they all did their gay bullying shout out, I woulda loved someone to ask Leah Remini how her Scientology views fit into it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted October 23, 2010 Members Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yeah. That's the problem with shows like this. "We're a bunch of different people from different backgrounds and different experiences! However, we're not going to honestly discuss any of that! Let's make Rice Krispie Treats!!"

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 24, 2010 Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 She's one of the more infamous members... (I found it funny when she nodded along to Sarah saying that the joy of havign kids was watching them become their own people, not who you want them to be, because even if I'm being generous--and I had a close friend become a Scientologist for several years and even went to a few meetings just to show him I was open minded lol--that is NOT the mentality behind that "church"). Marceline--that's exactly it. It's one thing to have different opinions, but still have respect for those of others'. That could still make interesting tv--but the mentality so far is exactly what you said "we all have different backgrounds and experiences, yet REALLY we're all the same when ti comes down to it--all loving mothers *group hug*". Blah. I am not a big View fan, and I think sometimes the arguments on it become overthe top--that said they're 100% more engaging. Scientology is not full of gay hate, the way some groups are. That said, they believe (and this is stated extremely clearly, there's no way around it) that it's a mental illness, and actually only rate it slightly below other things they see as illnesses (including murderers...) When you go "clear", after extreme amounts of auditing--and usually money--to clear yourself of all the pollutants that have made you less than you can, and should be--you can NOT still be gay.

Members DAMfan Posted October 24, 2010 Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 I got a email from someone watching the Blah-Blah and said they turned the show off mid way - cause they couldn't stand Julie C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alphanguy74 Posted October 24, 2010 Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 So I guess that Tom cruise will have to turn in his Jeff Stryker dildo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 24, 2010 Members Share Posted October 24, 2010 I only saw a clip and I can see that JC is already in Barbara Walters self-show-stroking mode, "We are such a great group of gals" blase blah. It seems so disingenuous and hugely "elephant in the room" to not formally shoutout The View on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 Bring back Paula Zahn to be repaired with Harry Smith and I bet The Early Show's numbers would double. They were the ones to beat GMA (when it was anchored by Newman and McRee of course). Of course, should Mark McEwen ever feel good enough to return for more than a special guest, well the ratings would skyrocket. I watched the Talk myself and thought it was a snoozefest, it needs more excitement to really stand out I suppose. Then again, maybe CBS should have gotten Paula Zahn on the Talk too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted October 25, 2010 Members Share Posted October 25, 2010 She could not agree with her religions view on that subject manner. It would be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
