Exactly. They're all going to act real friendly until they have a contract. That said, I'm not worried about Alyssa Farrah. Even if they do hire her, the other ladies can handle her easy.

Dull show today. I knew that as soon as they showed the chef. I suppose it's better than giving them one segment where they're desperately trying to finish something and answer 500 questions simultaneously, but I always hate how it eats into hot topics. I was grateful Klobuchar pointed out how there was no outrage over Trump and Reagan wanting to put women on the Supreme Court--particularly since those women were not supportive of women's rights, making their identities a misdirect--compared to Biden having promised years ago at this point to put the first Black woman on the Court if he won. It's almost like the outrage is manufactured race-baiting--no, surely not! *eyeroll*

Farrah's chances were always on the higher side, unfortunately. I never really had faith in Teta to hire someone of higher quality.

It happened in the Kinzinger interview, when he was talking about Kevin McCarthy being a weak leader and how he's under the thumb of MTG: Ana: "If his cell-phone is ringing off the hook with MTG, I hope he has a good gazpacho recipe. The gazpacho police and a paella patrol!"

Double post. Sorry, I expected the posts to automatically combine. :P

Yeah, I was pretty shocked Sunny wasn't in the JLO interview considering what a big fan she always says she is of her. I agree with Ana on the Florida bill, that it's really just about targeting children in a classroom who already stand out and making their lives even more hellish for the sake of political points. Farrah is such a gross liar, nobody believes she supports the LGBT community. And Sunny was absolutely right to make the point that this attack on students and censorship began with Black history and literature, but that those kinds of attacks always move on to other groups (LGBT, women, Jews, etc.).

Glad to hear Blade Runner is over... No interest in that one. And Shenmue is terrible. That really sucks about Demon Slayer. :( I hope they could still at least afford to re-run the first season sometime. If they're re-running Shippuden, Bebop, and One Piece, I wouldn't mind seeing Fairy Tail or Bleach in the lineup again. I wonder why they've never ran Sailor Moon (the VIZ dub) or Sailor Moon Crystal--also too expensive for them?

I agree with Ana that everything with Cuomo couldn't entirely avoid the air of a politically-motivated hitjob because his investigator was running for his job. And then there's the fact that, as Sunny said, he put a crosshairs on himself by making himself the face of COVID management in opposition to Trump. While I'm not a fan, I definitely agree with Sunny that likely nothing he's done has truly ruined his chances with voters considering other presidential contenders like Trump and DeSantis have committed one or both of the same "crimes" he has, unfortunately. After Sunny brought up DeSantis covering up numbers in Florida himself, I loved when Joy asked Farrah if she holds Republicans who do the same thing equally accountable and she just stuttered and flubbed her response, lol. Particularly hilarious to hear Farrah, who worked for Trump, criticize Cuomo's nursing home mistake considering all her boss did in order to not "own" his pandemic failures. I agree with Sara, the biggest thing wrong Cuomo did there was try to hide it, since nobody knew exactly what was right to do at the time and he was trying. And, as Joy said, NY was one of the first state's truly impacted by the pandemic. Yeah... The best part of Whoopi being out these two weeks was getting Joy in the moderator's seat for all these episodes. The show has more of the feel of Meredith days when she's in charge. Whoopi is always so clumsy with her intros and outros, and then eats up too much time saying nothing.

Fun show today. The royals talk was hilarious. As for the earlier topics, I agreed with Ana--I think she's the one that said it--that Mike Pence has little future in politics at this point, it being unlikely that even Trump would pick him as VP if he ran again, so there's little cost for him to make this statement. But I do think Joy and Sara are right that it's still valuable that he did.

Yeah, and I really like that a member of the family finally has the same height as Dan. Hopefully the contrabassoon plot will be the end of the spat of teenage brattiness with him. Darlene's other child is already unbearable onscreen (honestly reminds me of the teen daughter from Mom), I always sigh whenever I see that character is in the episode. Darlene and Becky could be horrible as teenagers in the original show, as all teenagers can be, but it more ebbed and flowed realistically rather than them being a 10 on the asshole scale every. single. episode.

I thought this was one of the better episodes. A lot of the jokes actually landed for me, Dan's "Yaas, Queen!" being the best one.

Yep. I don't know how many here have seen it, but check out the video for Reba's song "Every Other Weekend" with Kenny Chesney. It came out years ago, after the show had ended. Cheyenne's and Van's actors played the divorced parents in the video. It would be interesting if Cheyenne went through a similar situation to Reba of her and Van being broken up, there being another woman in Van's life (not necessarily an affair, just someone he met after they broke up), kind of wanting to be with Van again (and being assisted for comedy's sake by Barbra Jean and Reba), perhaps ending up back with him at the end of the revival unlike Reba and Brock. I say it would be interesting because I recall the episode where Cheyenne blamed Reba for Reba and Brock's divorce, saying she drove Brock away by always starting fights. It would offer a lot of character moments for Cheyenne to be standing in Reba's shoes. Speaking of The Conners, I could see both Cheyenne (just divorced) and Kyra both ending up back in Reba's house the way Darlene and Becky live with Dan in that show.

Yeah, there were no auditions. There wasn't even an open seat. Jedi had just signed a new contract, a month later, boom she was gone. A little over a week after, McCain was in that seat. She was never tested and I don't think they plan to make that mistake again.

Of the three they've brought back now (Mia, Tara, Alyssa), I definitely prefer Mia.

Yeah, as someone who actually those four years and is grateful they're done, I remember no apology or reprimand on this show, much less multiple... Whoopi telling her to stop talking is probably the closest you'd come, but then, Whoopi is just the moderator and a fellow co-host, and moreover Whoopi was made to apologize the next day rather than McCain for screaming over top of everyone. It was always that way when she was there--the others being forced to play-act some PR cleanup for her sake. McCain had family friends at the top, no surprise she was fired six months after they were out.

I wish that was enough to make me like her, but, while I love Ana, a Republican McCain also hated, Tara does nothing for me. And I expect she'd be overbearing if she was officially cast. They've auditioned much worse though, I'll admit. I agreed with Joy's comments on Pelosi that she was not supporting China, so much as trying to warn our country's athletes because they will be in a place nothing like America, where there is no protection for freedom of speech. That said, I'm also with Ana and Star on the general point that we shouldn't be there since, as Ana said, we know China is committing genocide. Star was fun. I don't know why Sunny wasn't there, it's not like only one lawyer can be at the table at a time--Ana is also a lawyer and Sunny is on the show with her regularly. As for what they were wondering in regards to political topics versus relationship ones, I think The View is best when it's a mix. I always think of it as mostly having serious topics the first half hour and lighter ones in the second. The only reason I like the lighter topics is because they're the only ones where everyone doesn't have to walk on eggshells while discussing lest they say one wrong thing, they can be more loose and it's much funnier. I don't think the fluff topics would be worth it if Joy and Ana weren't on the show adding that humor and bringing some life out of the others.

I was so glad when Goodwin's character and her trainer finally established something, because I was getting tired of them constantly making her character wonder if he's interested, nearly reveal her feelings, walk it back, etc. The show's not perfect, but I have a feeling it'll grow. It has potential anyway. Now if it'll last long enough to grow, who knows. Sarah and Henry are my favorite characters as of now. Henry's actor in the bedroom scene from...I believe it was episode 2? Yum!

I happened to see an interview of JoAnna Garcia this morning, and the idea of Reba getting a revival struck me. I would love that myself. I know Reba herself doesn't have much going on right now, since country radio refuses to play most women, and she already tried making a different show (Malibu Country). I'd love for her show to come back for a few seasons. Even if they couldn't get all the actors back, her and Melissa Peterson alone would be enough to make it worth it regardless.

Lisa Ling Clarifies Comments About The View, Says She and Joy Behar Have 'Great Relationship' https://people.com/tv/lisa-ling-clarifies-comments-about-the-view/ The past two weeks would have guaranteed Lisa Ling would be too afraid to return to this show if she ever had considered it, with the way the media reports on The View these days. Not only was there the Primetimer article that described her first day in such a blatantly false manner, the above comment on Kimmel was taken out of context , too (I had taken it to be something she said partly to make the audience laugh), and then of course Whoopi stepping in it on the Monday after she visited. Admittedly, it was always unlikely she'd want to come back even though her commentary elevated the show further, but I'm guessing it's zero chance after all this. A shame.

Same today. I'm not a fan, but since she was on when all this controversy was going on, her three shows went by much quicker. I agree with Sunny on Jeong and Thicke walking off. The Masked Singer is going down the same road as Dancing With the Stars... And I was happy that Joy asked Tara to be more specific about Giuliani's wrongdoing for the audience's sake; leaving it vague like that makes it come across more like a general sense of dislike rather than being driven by facts. Joy has always been great at moderating, more in the vein of Meredith.

Just amazing how delusional somebody can be. She lowered this show more than any other co-host has. It became more like The Jerry Springer Show than what Barbara began. I'm not surprised in the least, in fact I expected this to happen whenever one of the co-hosts stepped in it and it was only a matter of time before it happened since they're only human. It's just more of her sour grapes over being fired. If you have to tell people you've moved on as you incessantly chime in on them, you haven't moved on at all. What would a nobody like her have to move on to anyway? Still, to go after Whoopi in particular--the woman who got her this job and helped her keep it far longer than she deserved--is yet another case of McCain proving herself to be utterly without shame.

Yeah... I agreed with Sara, actually--I think Joy wanted to say it herself but she gives her opinion less when she moderates--that choices about right and wrong are supposed to be about free will to make those choices for yourself. Moreover, like Tara pointed out, what one person's religion is shouldn't be enforced on another person who may not even believe in it. You can advise someone against doing it on a personal level (if they ask for your advice), but trying to strip their right to make their own decisions away enters a dark territory. Then again, I'm not sure Sunny was necessarily advocating about what should be legal so much as what she thinks of abortion on a personal level. About Sunny though, in a way I thought she was being judgmental at the end of the child-rearing discussion. I even agree with her that rules are a good thing, structure and all that, but her last comment about how she thinks her kids have turned out well came across a little flippant... To me, it was like she was implying Joy's and Sara's children have not. Sara's children are still little kids, but Joy's daughter is doing pretty well from what little comments that I've heard dropped about her over the years. Sunny has mom-shamed Sara in the past, I recall, so that comment was probably more directed at her.

As a listener, I always give that song a religious connotation when I sing along to it, in regards to who the "He" is in that song, even though I know she was writing it about her new husband. I hope she learns to think of the song in a different way, too, because it's beautiful regardless of what happened with her marriage and I'd hate for her to avoid performing it now.

Well, no offense, but I think your comment works in reverse, too. I am not a Whoopi fan at all, but my dislike is mostly because of her assholey behavior towards other co-hosts over the years and how she stifles discussion sometimes. But I'm well-aware that there are many Whoopi haters who have a politically-geared reason for wanting to overdramatize this situation and for her to be taken down, and it has nothing to do with her mistaken comments themselves. I know that because I've seen the same people come out of the woodwork whenever Joy is in trouble over something, for example. They don't care about the event itself or whether they're really wrong or not, they hated them already. They'd be fine with a well-known leftwing figure being taken out by any means necessary.

It shouldn't be. It used to be in Daytime. I think the co-hosts even joked on the show before about not understanding why their show is in the news division these days.
