Members Cheap21 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Members Share Posted June 3, 2017 Star mentioned that. She said that title wasnt marketable Oh thats right. Star was on today and I couldnt beleive they brought her back to promote this bc I dont see Babs having the same sense of humor Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GregNYC Posted June 6, 2017 Members Share Posted June 6, 2017 If anyone wants to see it, it's on VH1's website. I saw it. It's definitely soap opera. I liked it but thought it moved so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted June 8, 2017 Members Share Posted June 8, 2017 It's definitely got a Devious Maids kinda vibe. I like it a lot and I'll definitely check out the rest of the season. It seems, though, based on the pilot and the previews, that it'd be best to have this only last a season. Anyhoo, love Vanessa Williams and Tichina Arnold in this, and the other unknowns are strong. Also, GL alum alert! Tammy Blanchard plays the youngest co-host's mom! Dang, she's playing mother to a twentysomething already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Members Share Posted June 8, 2017 Lol she debuted on GL 19 years ago. I didn't even recognize her. She looks a lot older than she actually is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted June 8, 2017 Members Share Posted June 8, 2017 I'll have to give it a try ... will post thoughts whenever I get to watch it. From the previews I wasn't super impressed because it seems like Williams plays a lot of roles the same. I love me some Tichina Arnold though. I guess it's supposed to be funny that they all dislike each other and get into cat fights? I used to enjoy all that but I don't anymore for some reason. It seems like a lot of shows just try too hard wanting every line to be witty and sharp and quotable ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 12, 2017 Members Share Posted June 12, 2017 I enjoyed it for what it is. It's an easy to watch, light, humorously toned, soap opera. There's something about the way it's filmed that looks cheap. Regardless, I find it enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted June 13, 2017 Members Share Posted June 13, 2017 I like it for what it is. Something nice and light, and I find it pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted June 13, 2017 Members Share Posted June 13, 2017 "You little lesbian!" "I'm sexually fluid!" First I thought it was camp. Then it went mega-camp. Now I think this is a pure unashamed Jackie Collins tribute. Not sure if that's an insult or not. This [!@#$%^&*] is beyond camp. Like Maxine was in a coma for several days but kept in a hot pose? Hahaha. I've not even watched episode two yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted June 13, 2017 Members Share Posted June 13, 2017 An unashamed Jackie Collins tribute can only be a compliment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted June 13, 2017 Members Share Posted June 13, 2017 First of all - my mom LOVES Jackie's books and have several. Secondly... this is so campy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted June 13, 2017 Members Share Posted June 13, 2017 I might add - this show is pure trash. As a Jackie Collins novel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted June 15, 2017 Members Share Posted June 15, 2017 I wasn't a big fan of Devious Maids, even stopped watching it after 2 seasons, but this is even worse. Dialogue is horrible, acting meh. Feel bad for both Vanessa Williams (although she seems to be playing the same character since Ugly Betty) and Tichina Arnold. The "Elisabeth Hasselbeck" chick is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LostinHarmony Posted June 21, 2017 Members Share Posted June 21, 2017 I'm enjoying this and agree it's light and fun like other posters have said. Not gonna lie, I was hoping for something closer to the real going-ons that happened behind the scenes at The View but this will serve for a fun summer show non the less.

Members Gray Bunny Posted June 21, 2017 Members Share Posted June 21, 2017 Yeah, it's pretty campy and makes Devious Maids look tame. It's fun junk food television, but so over-the-top you can't expect to learn any juicy behind-the-scenes dirt that pays direct tribute to The View. My hubby loves it; I enjoy it, but it's not must-see-TV. I love Vanessa Williams though, so I'm glad she's a heavy hitter on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
