  1. I am tired of the obviously partisan/tribal/whatever you wanna call it , Abby- bashing on this forum.  I like her. She's thoughtful, intelligent and articulate. Not every FOX alumn is a "bot". I save my vitriol for the truly deserving... Whoopi pops immediately to mind.

  2. re: tuesday's show

    Sally Field struck me as mentally unbalanced. A great actress, yes, but I wouldn't wanna be stuck in an elevator with her.

    Whoopi is acting like a rebellious toddler, fighting with the producers and reading the teleprompter perfunctorily like she's doing it against her will (well, probably she is). Willie tells the audience that they are getting his album, and then Whoopi immediately makes a grand announcement as if it's this huge surprise.

    Dr. Doris Day (i much prefer the REAL Doris) is a total shill for her own practice. Is ABC paying her, or is she paying them?

    I really don't mind Abby, nor do I think she is stupid or ill-informed.

    Joy is sadly beginning to show signs of slowing down to the point of becoming the doddering old aunt at the holiday table.

  3. one of my bugaboos from last season has continued into the new one: Whoopi, whenever pronouncing a latin (or other ) name, has to over-pronounce the "r"s and do ridiculous tongue rolls. She did it several times with Sotamajor (sp)  and even Sunny didn't roll the "r" that much!

  4. I finally got to see Friday's show. I normally mostly listen, since i am multitasking (YES, computer solitaire IS multitasking!) but today i saved the multitasking for commercial breaks only and BOY OH BOY, what a show! Michael and Ana were fantastic. But the biggest thrill of all was watching the lovely and untalented Miss M.  The visuals of her mean girl face (i think she must keep lemon juice or vinegar in her cup to keep up that sour look so consistently) were priceless! What a way to end the season.

    On another note, I have felt for a while that Joy may be fading a bit. She's lately often slow on the uptake (so unlike her), but maybe it's just MM fatigue (i HOPE).

  5. I tend to watch the View next day (no live cable) and save the Friday show for Monday (I watch the Talk on weekends), but i just may  have to break my rule this time!

    But in addition to MM's many many misuses of words and phrases , one of her faves "siren song" particularly pisses me off.

  6. re: tuesday's show - I thought it would have been hysterical if the guest Lexi had said... "well, almost anything... except Hamilton".

    Whoopi closes the show with "take a little time to enjoy the view or whatever you happen to be doing" ??????? Barbara could have broken a hip running for the phone!

  7. I am sooooooooooooooooooooo not a Sherri fan... she brings buffoonery to an all new low... BUT I WILL SAY (tm MM) that Trial and Error is one of the funniest shows I've seen in a long time and Miss "I don't know nothin bout surrogate babies" is pretty good in it.

  8. Just when i thought Whoopi had retired her valley girl voice, this week it's back with a vengeance. I really want someone on the panel to do an angry black woman voice.... (won't happen). Also, whoopi may have been "self-made" at one time, but she was also "self-unmade" a couple times.

  9. Re: Wednesday's show. Not a fan of DLH... i sorta think he is racist (although give him a pass based on his experience as an 8 year old)... But why was he wearing a hat that looked shit-stained, and a uniform that made him look like a bad Sheriff David Clark impersonator? Also, when you are promoting "your" book and it was co-written, why not mention the other writer?

  10. I haven't watched Wednesday's show yet so i may have to grudgingly give Whoopi kudos later. BUT, has anyone else noticed her fairly recent practice of over-pronouncing Hispanic names as if she's been talking a Babble Spanish course?

  11. re: Tuesday's show... the Whoopster told us we could catch Kevin Costner's movie "YELLOWSTAR" on blah blah (i went back to make sure i heard it correctly). Sheeesh....

    Jaron Lanier struck me as a wild-eyed conspiracy theorist and a total nutcase.  I also thought that most of the panel were responding to him strangely, even though the all-gracious whoopi told him he "had to come back".

  12. re: monday's show... MM uses "siren song" in reference to DeNiro's tony thing... uh... another misuse.

    and CAG (creepy adam glassman) breathlessly telling us to "STOCK UP" on gym bags.... HUH???

  13. My theory is that Whoopi tries to cover her lack of any preparation ever by "time-eating" .... the increasingly long welcome yell... the pregnant pauses while she closes her eyes to search for a "word" that never actually seems to be the right one,  the "um's" the "well...."   the mugging at the camera as if that says it all....

  14. Call me petty (i've been called worse...) but Whoopi, true to form, introduces Michelle Wolf as "our NEXT guest", when she was, in fact the FIRST guest... I guess I am not quite out of last nerves.

    Whoopi's daughter was upset she wasn't invited to "Bring you child to work day".  Not surprised at all but for fuck sake she isn't a child.

     

     

     

     

    alex most likely read it as "bring your dependent to work day"

  16. Re: KG segment, near the end, she talks about reading a funny death threat in her act. Whoopi says, "and we want to hear more" then KG says, " oh, we are coming back?", WG says "no, we are not coming back"..... blah blah "we'll be right back". Call me petty, but WG has to be the worst "moderator" ever!

  17. A suggestion for the View Producers - have MM take over Sara's "VIEW YOUR CRAP" spot and have her squeal about "free shipping" and kiss up to Greta  (No offense to Sara at all, she is a good team player). I am just imagining how long she would last after trying on another pair of cheap sunglasses!
