The Talk is cheap (ooh.................oh nevermind) to produce so ratings and all that don't matter. :P

It's not that ratings don't matter, it that being cheaper makes it easier for CBS to give them more time. A new soap with these ratings would be under far more pressure to perform but The Talk has wiggle room. It's not playing by the same rules the soaps are and trying to judge them by those rules is pointless.

    We all know The Talk will be given a chance because Chen and Moonves are involved. Personally, I don't think it SHOULDN'T be given a chance, but realistically, I don't see it ever becoming a ratings winner. I simply think the format is all wrong for that hour. If that show is truly geared for "stay at home" moms, I think an earlier time slot would serve it better.

    OK, I'm one of the main proponents of the "It's because she's screwin' the boss!!" theory, but come on, yall are just ignoring simple facts now. The Talk is cheap. The ratings it has now were bad for ATWT but for a show that costs much less to make, the ratings are not as bad. They're not "giving it a chance" because it's obviously performing well enough for them turn a decent profit.

    Let's just take comfort in the fact that when ATWT ended and The Talk began, many televisions across the country switched off. That's really all we have!

    Oh I know the talk is cheap, but my point was that just because it's cheap doesn't mean that they don't want ratings too.

    LOL!

    Like Y&R's Noon/Noon:30. :) A strong lead-in from Price Is Right and daytime's #1 can see whether it swims or sinks at 2PM.

    You REALLY need to get a clue Soapsuds. The Talk is renewed.

    Not just Soapsuds apparently...

    And this is one of the reasons why I love this show. Check out Julie, Sharon, and Leah's very "underwhelmed" reactions to this pageant queen.

    THAT. WAS. BRILLIANT.

    Sharon, Leah and Julie rock my world with those reactions. So disgusted they were. AMAZING.

    This has to go on the Emmy reel. These women deserve to win.
