Shake up at *The View*

[Laura's Babies]

I usually have it on just for the noise but if Rosie O'Donnald replaces Starr, I will change channels.. I didn't much care for Starr but I liked her a whole lot better than I like Rosie.

Rosie will be replacing Meredith Vierra (sp?) who already left. Now they will need another replacement.

They took Star Jones off of The View website...finally.

I sometimes watch The View when I'm out sick. I was never a fan of Star Jones. However, I think the best thing she could have done for her career was quit.

Rosie O'Donnell will make the ratings fall (depending on who they get to replace Star Jones). I used to LOVE Rosie but then she screwed Tom Selleck and just became a very strange and weird person.

I won't be watching The View anymore. I'll watch The Price Is Right. Love Bob Barker!!

I never cared much for Star Jones and I don't think the average person could identify with her *high end* life style. What really ticked me off was when she went on and on about how she didn't care for dogs and keep those dogs away from her. Then when her new husband wanted a dog and they got the little maltese, it was Pinky this and Pinky that.

She obviously really crossed Barbara when she made her announcement on Tuesday without Barbara's knowledge that it was going to happen, although I thought what she said was completely fine. Barbara, in addition to being a Diva happened to be the BOSS and she wasn't going to let that go unchallenged, hence her over-the-top reaction. I think she would have done herself a favor not to have over reacted in the manner which she did.

Actually seeing the nails come out like this was the best entertainment I've seen on The View.

I heard she was leaving but I didn't hear about the spat with Barbara walters. Barbara just tore a strip off her right there on the show?

I also dislike Rosie O'Donnell very much. I don't watch the view much NOW but I certainly won't be tuning in once she is on the show.

I can't stand Rosie so I will not be watching in the fall. I read some of her comments this winter about Star's weight loss. I think she was saying Star needs to admit she had gastric bypass surgery. What business is it of hers?

[moosmom]

I watched it the other day when Barbara Wahwah made the announcement. I think they just should've let it go. Why add fuel to the fire??

I think she was saying Star needs to admit she had gastric bypass surgery. What business is it of hers?

I also don't like Rosie O'Donnell, never have. What said Jazzcat is right, Star's gastric bypass IS none of her business. I've never been a big fan of "The View" or "The Price Is Right". I usually just go online and listen to my CD's.

I won't be watching The View anymore. I'll watch The Price Is Right. Love Bob Barker!!

Yes come join the other side with me. Bob Barker ROCKS!! hehe

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I don't care much for the View anyway but now that Rosie's going to be on, I won't watch ever!!!!

I can't believe everyone got their noses out of joint because of Star's weight loss. It's not really anyone's business but hers, specially not Rosie's!!! Rosie is no paragon of virtue herself!!!

I don't know why Barbara was so shocked at Star's announcement. She knew since November that Star's contract wouldn't be renewed. I couldn't stand to see Star sitting there like a whipped puppy anymore so I guess I'm glad she moved on.

[BOBS DAD]

OK... I'll admit it, I've seen the view - and at times I've found those ladies' yackety-yack about nothing amusing. But with Meredith Vierra leaving AND ROSIE??? taking her place, I think the show was doomed anyway.

I do wish however I could have caught the cat fight that you all say took place!!! Maybe Rosie will come on and drop 200 pounds and "not admit" to gastric bypass too!!! That would add to their chances of surviving!!!

[Craftlady]

She did say on last night that there was surgery involved. Thought it was interesting that they re-broadcast the Larry King Show during the time slot of "The View" this morning which was an "oncore performance" (re-run). Think the ladies had enough excitement for one week and with the long holiday weekend the show decided to do reruns.

I always thought Barbara Walters was a shrewed business women, that was proven even more this week. I think having Rosie O'Donnell on the show now will send "The View" down the river to cancelation.

[sparks19]

Yes come join the other side with me. Bob Barker ROCKS!! hehe

LOL WOO HOO for Bob Barker. I have a question (sorry to derail the thread for one moment)....

What happens when Bob passes away? Do they find a replacement or just cancel the show? I can't imagine the show would be much without him after all this time.

[elizabethann]

Oh great, I just read that Star Jones will be hosting one of my all-time favorite shows, HOUSE HUNTERS.

[Catsnclay]

I've never watched the View, because I can't stand daytime Tv. Barbara Walters is ok, but she can be pretty persistant in interviews. (day or night)

Rosie O'donnel use to be funny and I did like her, then she changed

Starr Jones. Well, where do I start?! Can't stand the woman, never did like her, don't know why, just never liked her. Then she really got to me with her "free" wedding. OMG! This woman has enough money to have a dream wedding, but no, she had to "make" everyone donate things, then she bragged about it.....sick, sick sick! Then her weight-loss issue, I really didn't follow it too closely, but you would be a fool if you thought it was all excersise Of COURSE she has surgery! To me, now she looks gastly, have you seen her lately?! frightening!

My guess the show's ratings were going downhill any way, so they were looking for a change, did a poll and the bottom person was kicked off.

Either way, I STILL don't watch daytime TV, never will. Although I would have liked to have seen the catfight

Oh great, I just read that Star Jones will be hosting one of my all-time favorite shows, HOUSE HUNTERS.

That is one of my very favorite shows too! Gosh, I don't think I am going to enjoy it half as much now. She is not a good *fit* in my opinion for that show. I hope that decision is not *set in cement* yet. Where did you read that?

As for The View, I think it's only a matter of time until it goes off the air. Judging from you all on here and people I have talked to at work, etc. no one likes Rosie any more. She acts as if her view is the only real one and has very little intolerance for anyone else. Her presence alone, along with all the hoopla will cause ratings to plummet. It won't matter to me really, though, because, as I said, I hardly ever watched The View.
