Leah Remini seriously needs to dial that sh!t down.

The last time I liked her in anything was Saved by the Bell...

She could not agree with her religions view on that subject manner. It would be interesting to see.

Well exactly--though with the way Scientology is run, publicly saying as much can get you directly on their hit list--it's not quite like being a Catholic who doesn't agree with all views. But that's exactly why I wanted to see it addressed.

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.

For all the hate that people dump on The View, I think it's one of the more authentic talk/interview shows on the air. The same way your first Christmas dinner after rehab/coming out/being released from prison/finding your birth mother is authentic.

The Talk may find it's niche but first - and my apologies to MTV - people need to stop being polite and start being real.

The Premiere Week of CBS's New Daytime Talk Show Up +60% in Women 25-54

On CBS Owned Stations and +50% Across Local People Metered Markets From Same Time Period Last Year

New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and San Francisco Among Stations Seeing Big Increases

"The Talk" Wins Its Time Period in Philadelphia, Miami and

Baltimore Among Women 25-54

Nationally, "The Talk" Opens to 2.14 Million Viewers in Premiere Week

The premiere week of CBS's new daytime talk show, THE TALK, posted impressive growth among women 25-54 on the CBS Owned Stations and across all local people metered markets versus the same time period a year ago, according to Nielsen live plus same day metered market ratings for the week ending Oct. 22.

On the 14 CBS Owned Stations, THE TALK improved among women 25-54 by +60% (0.8 from 0.5) and by +50% in the local people metered markets (0.9 from 0.6).

Among the CBS stations seeing the biggest year-to-year increases in women 25-54 were WCBS, New York; KCBS, Los Angeles; KTVT, Dallas; KPIX, San Francisco and KCNC Denver.

THE TALK placed first in its time period among women 25-54 in eight metered markets including CBS owned stations inPhiladelphia, Miami and Baltimore.

Nationally, THE TALK delivered a 1.6/06 with 2.14m viewers, 1.0/07 in women 25-54, 0.8/05 in women 18-49 and 0.5/04 in women 18-34. Notable for a freshman series in its first week, THE TALK tied veteran time period winner "One Life to Live" among women 18-34.

Isn't this the demo the networks don't want?

For all the hate that people dump on The View, I think it's one of the more authentic talk/interview shows on the air. The same way your first Christmas dinner after rehab/coming out/being released from prison/finding your birth mother is authentic.

Love it, LOL!

I tuned in yesterday, and once again, self-congraulatory hooey abounded. This show is a pandering piece of crap, and Leah is the most obnoxious person on TV. I thought her character on King Of Queens was obnoxious, but she was just playing a milder version of herself on that show. Well, lucky for me, I have FOUND my zen in the talk show world, and it's called "The Gossip Queens" that show is faboo!

Saw The Talk with Kathy Griffin, I thought it was really good. A really nice, breezy, fun watch. Julie Chen seems to be loosening up quite a bit, ditto Sharon, whose come into her own with her Marie Claire eruption. Julie actually seems to be a woman with a good sense of humour, very likeable.

Holly Robinson Peete and Marissa Jaret Winokur seem useless. The show could drop those two and you'd never, ever, notice.

What was interesting is that Julie actually brought up THE VIEW, Kathy's evisceration of the show was delicious.

Julie Chen rules. She wants to legalize pot AND she was dying at Kathy Griffin's Whitney Houston story.

P.S. I had no idea Kathy Griffin was 50. REALLY?! WOW! I thought she was at least a decade younger for some reason. She's been in TV for years. She must've landed the big break in her 30's.

Is the Kathy Griffin episode today or was it yesterday?

Yesterday and it's already up on the CBS website, so depending which Canadian network(if any of them) picked up The Talk, it's likely on their website too.

In USA Today they report The Talk is down 16% from ATWT a year ago.

Link to that? I can't find it.

At the end of the day, even if it's down 16% in HH, it's doing well in demographics and is cheap to run and co-owned by CBS.
