It was circling the drain for quite a few years before B&B left. I don't think any real improvements will be able to be made until Whoopi is gone because it seems like the people in charge would rather give in to her for the most part so they don't have to deal with her coming at them. That is unless it's something that embarrasses the whole show and network like her stance on Bill Cosby which got so much unwanted attention. I wish her idiotic stances on other things had gotten as much attention because it may have gotten her out the door sooner.

Here's a longer article from Variety about Bill Wolff quitting.

I tried giving the show a chance so many times. I watched the first couple of seasons pretty much then it seemed like everyone became incredibly annoying to me. Jabbar was the most tolerable though. He rarely got on my nerves. After the 2nd season I'd try and watch one, two or three episodes in a row and then stop again. I even tried watching all of the last season since it was going off the air but couldn't make it through that either. I know some people raved about it and i wanted to like it so much more because there were so many people in the cast that I had enjoyed from other shows.

You can start a thread just for that.

I think the first thing I really remember Constance from is Boston Legal. I've only seen a few episodes of Entourage. Looking at her IMDB credits though I realize I probably saw her before and just don't remember. The other show she had a big role in Good Morning, Miami was one I didn't really watch either. I think it was always scheduled against something else I watched back then.

I made a comment under a recent article about Sherri that was linked to in this thread previously about how Sherri thought Sal would leave her if she didn't comply with his baby demands....... Well my comment pissed someone off that had been taking up for her by commenting to just about everyone and this person told me I didn't understand how Sherri was manipulated by an unemployed freeloader like Sal. Then that person told me to eat some makeup because it might make me pretty on the inside. I could have sworn in one of the few interviews Sal has given he said something about Sherri not minding him being a househusband taking care of the house and etc. then he started to not like that as much and she didn't understand why. If she hadn't gone on for years about wanting to find a "drama free uterus" her claims of being scared about Sal leaving her might be more believable. She always made it sound like she wanted another baby as much as he did because she wanted Jeffery to have a sibling. Even though he has one or more (I think) through his Father. I do wonder what would have happened to the baby in this situation had LJ turned out to be a girl. Would either of them have wanted her?

My 39th Anniversary Gift To Phillip (You Know Him As Dr. Phil) By: Mrs. Robin McChub http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/robin-mcgraw-anniversary-gift-to-dr-phi_55ce6a7de4b055a6dab075c7 (Obviously the comments were disabled for this video)

My One-Of-A-Kind Anniversary Gift For Robin By: Dr. Phub http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/dr-phil-anniversary_55cd1202e4b055a6daafe401?

I know a lot of you are listing a lot of the things you'll be glad not to hear Nicole spouting anymore. I'm imaging how things will be 100 times worse with Candace and her talking points as was displayed the other day during the wedding cake for the gay couple argument she had with Raven. If that argument hadn't happened I bet she wouldn't have been as highly considered to be a co-host for this upcoming season.

That's another angle to consider. It's just weird that she's the one putting this all out there unless as you proposed he's holding something over her too.

I'm beginning to wonder if Camille didn't know about all of this the entire time and has enjoyed it as much as he has. Maybe she gets off on hearing his stories about how he drugged each woman? I know some women stand by their men even when they don't want to but this is ridiculous.

She looked like a creepier miniature version of Marilyn Manson. They must use a special lens slathered in vaseline for her when she's on Dr. Phub's show because she looked her age and worse on Celebrity Family Feud. My Mom kept remarking on how different she looked and not in a good way so I know it wasn't just me who noticed it.

Burt's Bees was purchased by Clorox in 2007. I purchased 2 surprise gift bags a couple years after that not knowing the company had been sold and each bag had products in it that were a year or more past their expiration dates. Condolences to Burt Shavitz's family though.

It's on CNN. I'm not sure if it's been renewed or not though. Ugh. It originally started airing in July of 2014. I still miss the original AMW on Saturday nights too.

Looks like HSN has clearanced out all of Robbin Robin's skincare and etc. and all that's left is one item. I meant to post this a few weeks ago when I checked and saw they only had 4 items from her line left all on clearance but forgot. I wonder what this means for her skincare line in general? http://www.hsn.com/shop/robin-mcgraw/12138

June 29 - July 3, 2015 Monday "Get Off My Back about My Body" Nicole says she wants to lose weight but says her "fitness freak" husband, George, has no compassion or empathy for her struggles, and his intense, drill-sergeant ways aren’t helping.

I noticed while he's been doing all of this Ted 2 promotions that he looks a lot older then he has in the past. I know people age at some point but it seems like it caught up with him all at once.

I watched the weekend version of F&F for a bit to see Clayton Morris because I had been a fan of his when he was on a national morning show called The Daily Buzz. Alisyn Camerota was a co-host and I always thought she seemed to normal to be at Faux News. She escaped and went to CNN last year and I watch her on there sometimes. I recently found out she had been had FN for 14yrs which shocked me since she never came across as a blonde robot like pretty almost all the women on there do. I do. I still find myself looking at the TVGuide online when it would have been time for his show to air thinking I wish he or someone there had an interview/topical show like that now. CNN is such a trainwreck and their programming seems all over the place even though it seems to have gotten better then what it was there's still a LONG way to go.

It was so nice while Sharon was out. I was kinda bummed to see her back. That month went by so fast.

I didn't appreciate Lindsey Graham using that horrific incident that occurred to fear monger the way he did.

The people who lived in the neighborhood where the "Dr. Phil House" was didn't appreciate all the commotion that went along with filming there. http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1544738,00.html

The son said at the same time he's transitioning to manhood his Dad is transitioning to womanhood. Or something along those lines. The way the son worded what he said was kind of confusing but I think he was also nervous about being interviewed in front of an audience.

The Kool-Aid Man! I enjoyed The Kool-Aid Man, Deborah Roberts and the chef at the end of the show. The rest was meh. That host that filled in Wednesday was filling in for the original fill in for that day Elizabeth Vargas who was listed here in the OP of this thread to host Thursday too when Stacey London was on. I wonder what happened that caused Elizabeth to miss both days? Even the ABC website has Elizabeth listed for Wednesday. http://abc.go.com/shows/the-view/episode-guide
