Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 Whoopi should've been released last season too. They should've just ended it with Barbara. Only person that has been on consistently this entire season has been Nicole, and while she's grew into her own, it's not enough for me to watch. I miss Joy. I miss the women talking about politics. I miss the shrieking at one another. I miss the reads and shade tossed at each other. This show is such a bore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 thats what made the View popular. Whether its true or not, that was part of its appeal and why people would tune in. It was to see the drama spill over onto the air and we got plenty of squabbles between throughout the years across the various cast rosters 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 A lot of the hissing and clawing was focused on a handful of personalities (Star, Baba, Elizabeth, Rosie O'Donnell) and couldn't be sustained. It made the show look like trash, but worse, delusional trash that still thought it was some type of public service. They ate away at whatever meaning the show was supposedly supposed to have had, and what was left was a slowly rotting corpse. They can bring in a few bimbos from Fox News or MSNBC and have them scream at each other, but people can see that anytime, anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Agreed completely. They "tried" that this season but it needs a COMPLETE overhaul and relaunch. The show has lost it's spark. I'm not at all shocked Rosie O is leaving. Again. I also think she wanted control and wasn't getting it. I'm sure that was a factor. She's looked miserable a lot of times and I do sense a bit of tension between Whoopi and Rosie. Do I think they're feuding and despise each other? No. Whoopi also seems over it all at this point. I think she enjoys playing to the audience and that aspect of it but overall she just seems ... different. It's a shame because I like Whoopi, Rosie P. and Nicolle. (I do somewhat still like Rosie O, but she just seems so pushy anymore and I hate how she acts like a child when she makes up her mind about something and refuses to have a sane discussion about it). But something just isn't gelling. I know she gets knocked a bit and was very checked out by the time she left, but Joy felt right guest co-hosting and I sort of miss that presence. But she could get tiring after a while. Edited February 7, 2015 by KMan101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 I love Rosie O'Donnell, but I don't think she'll have a successful talk show platform again. Her 1996-2002 heyday was before the Queen of Nice facade faded. Whatever behind-the-scenes drama there may have been back in the day was not reported. Meanwhile, there were reports of constant drama with her short-lived Chicago talk show on OWN, and of course there's The View. I just don't think it's meant to be again, even though I do enjoy her viewpoint and the way she articulates her opinion. The View lost its relevancy long ago, and their constant push at trying to be at the cutting edge at political topics is a drain. Whenever I do watch (which isn't often), I just sigh when they start bringing up the latest news in Washington. I'm sorry, but I don't care what Rosie Perez thinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 I feel like the best thing to do would be to have just one female host for "The View," rather than three or four, do away with the audience, and have her do pre-taped intros and outros for feature stories, also pre-taped, handled by "special correspondents" who are also women and who cover a wide spectrum of topics that are aimed at the target demographic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 Sorry to see Rosie O. go. Hope all is well with her. Why doesn't ABC cancel The View is beyond me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 at that point, thehn why even call it the View? Thats a brand new show, far removed from what the View is 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 Oh my. This show is a mess. Honestly, just cancel it. I get why they would want to wait until Barbara dies, but I'm sure she hates seeing this. ABC Daytime needs revived. The Chew is just random and GH is a mess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 Did anyone else watch Rosie's show on OWN? They actually tried that similar approach at the tail end. No audience, no band, no koosh balls, nada. Just a one-on-one interview on an empty stage with a backdrop that looked like a Kindergarten classroom. I wanted it to succeed, but everything went wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 I like Rosie O'Donnell, she is a personality who has evolved and that evolution shows how the entertainment business doesn't always treat human beings as flawed people. She's right to quit The View. It is what it is. I just hope she's got enough money lined up to secure her future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 The problem this season is not letting Whoopi go. Had they done a panel with Nicolle and Rosie O'Donnell with a better selection surrounding them, they would've been fine. I would've brought in Star Jones as the third, Countess LuAnn and someone young, they could've had a good panel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 Whoopi clearly doesnt want to be there. I remember her saying last year that she only shows up for the check. On one hand, I can appreciate her blunt honesty, but doesnt really hide it on the show. She's over it and has been for quite some time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 7, 2015 Members Share Posted February 7, 2015 They switched formats on The OWN show too late. If it was done earlier it may have worked. I think Rosie is perfect for the one on one interview type show like larry King, Tom Snyder & Charlie Rose. I hope she does another show down the line 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
