The Talk was part of my daily routine before the studio shut downs and I usually enjoyed it somewhat. I still watch the "at home" version but it's become increasingly annoying to me. First of all, the production values - mostly horrible/spotty sounds, uneven levels. They could take a tip from the View producers who, after a rocky and similar start, managed to even out the quality and give it at least a semblance of a "real" talk show (not that the actual content improved, but that's another matter. Second point is that this format seems to highlight the most obnoxious traits of each host. I will exempt Marie because I always liked her core personality and she stays true to it. As for the others, predictablily is the key word. Sharon " I HAVE to ask you...." (no you don't), put that pack of dogs in another room Carrie Ann, stop "awwwing" over everything and waving your hands like a 12 year old and getting all teary emotional over trite shit. Cheryl, gee i never KNEW you were in a sorority sister! And stop yelling like you are educating the world. Eve almost gets a pass for being slightly less "in this business..." than before, but not quite. There! I feel slightly better.

I happen to love Chris Wallace and he is right that not every Fox person is a Carlson or a Hannity or a Pirro (eeeeek!!!) Also, Meghan dear, it's "TENETS" not "TENANTS" , but so much from a "pundint". No wonder she could never be an "independit".

I was watching Tuesday's show, paused it at VYD to hop in the shower. When I got out, I glanced at the screen and was like "what the hell is greta selling????" looked like a set of old fashioned "RIP" tombstones. turns out they were simply holding her "on trend" junk necklaces... Now I wonder if she always uses these same props and I just never noticed before (I guess that's how bored I am these days!)

Well as whoopi's new mantra goes "anything can happen"

New sign-off phrase for the Whoopster : " remember to wash whatever you may happen upon!"

Has anyone else noticed the Whoopster's increasing number (as if that were possible) of "welcome to the view" 's? I suspect that after her olympian bellow, she feels she has done her part for the show and can tune out.

just watched the "holocaust" (in more ways than one) show. To quote Greta Monihan " NOT TODAY!!!"

Whoopi's 10 minute "welcome" bellow with her mouth half full is the likely cause of her hoarseness.

Re: Tuesday's show. Whoopi's incoherent rambling is getting on my last nerve. Her mini-apology tour was bad enough, but the impeachment preaching reached a new high (low?). She continued with her pontificating in the Charlize Theron segment. That "wise old woman weave" has literally gone to her head,

re: Wednesday's show. Joy's headband brought "I LOVE LUCY" flashbacks. I have always found Chris Christie to be smart and funny while mostly disagreeing with his politics/behavior. I enjoyed him as a co-host.Lupita Nyong'o is beautiful, supersmart, and nice. Clay Aiken looks like he's on his 3rd face lift.

Whoopi the hostess's Thanksgiving tip... decorate your table (using a paper table cloth as a base) with photos of dead people who were close to you. Unless I missed it, she did not mention any photo for Meghan. Place photos hidden behind dead leaves and pumpkins to surprise the guests with delight when they spot them. If you are lucky enough to have an urn of a loved one's ashes, it makes a lovely and festive centerpiece.

Whoopi may in fact INTENTIONALLY talk with her mouth full to temporarily mask her inarticulateness, however temporarily.

whoopi has really been stretching her welcome bellow to the limit. She was noticeably hoarse as hell for the entire Tuesday show. both guests were Disney plants for their new "service" and came off as shilling. Jeff Goldblum strikes me as a pretty smarmy character. (I USED to think he was attractive...)

Re: Monday's show. First, Whoopi's shameless self-promotion was over the top. Second, for most of the show, i was sorta happy that they were spreading out the VYD segs without Sunny embarrassing herself by pretending to orgasm over every item. THEN came the final segment which dashed my hopes! I had softened my opinion about Greta after her serious interview about her cancer, but ... (while i still feel bad about her struggle) my heart has re-hardened.

am i alone in thinking that Kimberly Guilfoyle now bears a striking resemblance to Melania? Maybe the use the same surgeon?

it's been bugging me all day trying to figure out how whoopi's gonna introduce Don Jr without mentioning his name...

I got some real phoniness vibes from Cameron Douglas... (but I don't know him).

Maybe Whoopi's accountant (she probably has a team) should get her to register as a tax- exempt charitable organization since she supports so many deadbeats. (Pic of sad Alex with the caption "won't you help now?"

has Whoopi increased her dosage of "inarticulate pills"?

I don't eat meat since I am a veterinarian.

I used to really love her show until recently (familiarity breeds not exactly contempt, but predictability). A major annoyance is her constant ass-kissing and praising all journalist guests for their awesome reporting ad nauseum like a teacher trying to curry favor from the popular students. Plus after a year or so I did notice how shrill her voice is (but i think that's an MSNBC prerequisite). I guess I still like her though, cuz I watch every day (of course, i also watch the VIEW daily too!)

re: Wednesday's show. Whoopi, who is enthralled with "the kid" Andrew Yang probably in part cuz his "$1k to every american plan" might relieve her of her family sucking at her financial tit, also got it wrong (big surprise there!). He has not said that that money would come directly from companies like Amazon (although if they paid taxes, there would be more money in the US treasury to fund such a program, but that is another story). If Whoopi were a roofer, she's miss every third shingle.

Friday, August 16 An entire show of View Your Deal with Greta Monahan and Adam Glassman. I loved how they had each co-host participate in a segment . Ana: " who would buy this crap?!?!?" Joy: "this beach wrap just makes me look fat!" Whoopi: Why the **** am I here on a Friday having to look at Oprah's things? Sunny: "FINALLY I get a little break from oohing and ahhing" Meghan: "I wish i could get all this stuff for my father..."

I was thinking that, during there "hiatus", we members, who all know the show so well (maybe too well for our mental health) could create Fantasy versions of the show. We pick the guests, the hot topics (hell, we can even do our own version of "view your deal" so as not to miss any of the junk that they couldn't get rid of on Shark Tank. I can start with Monday , August 5 Political guest Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnel and his wife. Meghan goes shopping for hunting gear (filmed segment) A special VYD with the hottest items for your next memorial service. Whoopi's daughter Alex is co-host.
