I was so glad to hear the news that I did something I've never done before. I e-mailed Barbara Walters.

I found a link to her e-mail at: http://abc.go.com/daytime/theview/index.html and let her know that I thought it was a good thing and that I might, just might start watching again.

I told her that, Yeah, I know your ratings have been up, but people will slow down to watch a car wreck! So, I don't think it's necessarily a good thing. And if she wanted the show to become like Jerry Springer, she should invite Rosie back!

She'll probably never read it, but it sure made me feel better to write.
