Shake up at *The View*

[DrKym]

ok I am way out of the loop! when did rosie screw Tom? I always loved her talk show, as you can tell I seldom watch TV however I never liked star anyway and had a lot of respect for babs. guess I will tune in to larry king..............................................

I did watch Larry King last night and have to say that Star held up fairly well. As I've said before, she's never been one of my favorites, but on the issue of her telling exactly what happened, instead of concocting some story like Barbara wanted her to, I think she made the right choice. Too bad she didn't adhere to that more closely with the weight loss issue.

I really don't watch the View either, but since I have Oprah on (while I'm working) and it comes on afterwards, sometimes I do see a bit here and there. I'm glad I happened on to this little cat fight. It sheds some light on the Barbara Walters personality.

I watched it too Rachel and my thoughts were pretty much the same as yours. I thought Star side-stepped some of the questions. She would make a good politician because she skirted around some things without a proper answer in my opinion. I think the eye-opener for me is what a *hard as nails* person Barbara Walters must be. I have lost respect for her as well and don't even ask what my thoughts are about Rosie now. I think The View will slowly slide out of view, and that's OK with me.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Oh, please, no! Tell me you just said that to jerk my chain! HOUSE HUNTERS is one of my favorites too. I can't see her in this role at all and really wonder that she would be interested, but then she did pitch shoes, didn't she?

NOOOOO!

I have never watched "The View" before, I don't think. I was aware of it and I have always been a fan of Barbara Walters (you have to respect how long she has been in this business and how successful she has been.....and good grief, she looks so good for 70 something years old) and of Meredith Vieira, but the others, I don't even know! I remember planning to tape the show one time because my cousin, Nancy O'Dell, was going to be on it, but I missed it, and I think Rachel had to fill me in on what happened.


I tape Oprah and Martha Stewart on my DVR, every day, but I don't usually watch all the shows as there is no time.

Goodbye Star! Whoever you are!
