I watched it and was disappointed. I thought Whoppi by far was the best. Thank god she stayed. Rosie was fine but I felt she was a bit off today. Rosie Perez was overbearing, annoying and tried way too hard. I felt Nicole Wallace seemed a bit timid and nervous. They didn't gel well. The tribute to Joan was great. I feel they could have found better co hosts for them. Honestly I think Hasselbeck was a much bigger star then anyone thought. She was the lightening rod and IMO Rosie's best tv was dueling with hasselbeck. It was ratings gold. She was a huge star for the view I didn't love her at the time but can't deny ever since she left the show has been dull.

I liked it. A bit of a snooze TBH but the women aren't obnoxious and it didn't seem ... tacky anymore.

The set upgrade [not liking the small table] was much much needed. I like that they used Barbara to open the show and went back to the old View theme. It wasn't bad. It'll get more natural as time goes on. But so far it's an improvement over watching to see Whoopi get annoyed by everyone, Barbara talk over everyone and Sherri make everything about her. I do think they badly need a 5th co-host but I can see why they probably went with four. Adding two new co-hosts and bringing one back is a lot but still ...

Whoopi is there for a paycheck and I think she wants the show to be taken seriously. I don't see why people think she hates them or doesn't want to be there. If she didn't she wouldn't have lasted 8 years. A paycheck is a paycheck but still ...

I watched it. I didn't like the chairs. I thought they should have been closer to the table. Other than that, i thought it was fine. I loved how Rosie O had to bring up the Woody Allen incident...knowing that Barbara would be watching and was on his side.

Who knows what's going to happen, it's only say one. Elizabeth and Rosie were very friendly on day one too and we know how that turned out. Once they get more relaxed with each other and get into more hot topics....we'll see.

I honestly think Whoppi didn't look happy with today and I adore her. I think it was a mistake to ditch Sherri when she was popular. Nicolle Wallace was so dull. Heck Hasselbeck never bored me sometimes I felt like slapping her but she was a much bigger star for the view then they expected. If Rosie doesn't work out they should bring Hasselbeck back for the lightening rod.

Also I will say in their defense I remember Meredith, Joy, Star, Barbara and Debbie had jitters in their first shows.

I guess it's just an adjustment period. Granted, I don't watch the View anymore, but having 2 total newbies means half the ladies I don't really care about their opinions. I mean, who goes to Rosie Perez for in depth political commentary? I guess she'll prove me wrong one day. Or maybe she'll tell me the world is flat.

Once upon a time, Barbara was the only known face sitting next to 4 total strangers.

Nicolle was underwhelming. Like seriously. I swear they should've cast a more controversial conservative figure like Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin, Ann Coulter, or one of them heffas from Fox--someone to rival Rosie and bring the show back to its former, messy glory. Nicolle is already giving me vibes that she is going to hold back, either because she's reserved or fearful of the fan reaction. I hope she proves me wrong because I need a conservative on that show that I love to hate and Rosie can pounce on. :P

I don't see how this cast of four is going to do it. If they plan on filling in that fifth seat, they better pull out all stops.

Rosie P. didn't impress me either and I love her. And Rosie O. sitting up there with her feet out was just gutter butt.

I got more from the swap meet version of The View, The Real, today than I did this show.

What this shows people is Hasselbeck brought out best in Rosie. I will say in 2007 it was great tv they were ratings gold. It shows not much how much we despised Hasselbeck she was a lightening rod and she was the biggest star the show had in its run. No Hasselbeck and Rosie is dull and Nicole is boring as hell. She smiles and bores badly I don't see her lasting.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
