Cosmocrush June 11, 2015 Share June 11, 2015 To add Raven because she is a "self-assured lunatic" just shows how desperate they have become in trying to save the show. Or just speed up the cancellation, fingers crossed. Which means of course it will just continue to make money and stay on the air. 3 Link to comment

Popular Post Milk-Eyed Mender June 12, 2015 Popular Post Share June 12, 2015 Speaking of misinformation, Nicholle told us the other day that she is Republican because Republicans keep us safe. Nothing says "safe" like the death of 5000 Americans and countless Iraqi civilians, along with the destabilization of an entire region, the demonization of all things Islam and the rise of ISIS all because "Saddam tried to kill my dad." The Republican spin machine is amazing. They've hijacked Jesus, turned "liberal" into an epithet, erased the crimes of Reagan, Bush and Cheney from voters' memory banks, milked the myth of Benghazi dry and created endless cottage industries out of a nebulous fear of "others" and "lessers." I am so disappointed that Nicolle has been given the power to promote that spin unchecked. 28 Link to comment

CousinAmy June 13, 2015 Share June 13, 2015 So the discussion yesterday about Ali Wentworth letting her pre-teen girls see her naked so they would know what a woman's body looks like was completely hijacked by Nicole to a discussion of her three-year-old son seeing her naked. What she said was cute and funny, about taking a bath with him, making a joke about it to her husband, etc, but it wasn't that point of what Wentworth was trying to say. Not everything about being a parent of teenage girls applies to being a parent to a toddler boy. 5 Link to comment

SanDiegoInExile June 13, 2015 Share June 13, 2015 (edited) ......If the View thinks Raven Symone is the answer they are wrong. That Daily Beast article insists the audience likes a circus. Bullshit. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the View's ratings were at their best when they had a panel that actually consisted of women who where smart and able to get their point across without being crazy just for the sake of being crazy...... It's not really fair to compare ratings from Summer 2015 to the early 2000s. Everything has changed. Since then, we have the following on air: The Talk The Chew The Five The Real The Cycle Outnumbered The Wendy KLG+Hoda TMZ on TV Every single one of those "brings the crazy" and has multiple demented, out-there co-hosts, or at least periods of outrage/bombast/mis-education/cray-cray. And they periodically spike up the ratings. It's a different world than Meredith babbling about being underwear-free and mourning a dead dog, than Joy tossing out 20-year-old material, than Star hawking her wedding deals, than Matenopolous comparing the Spice Girls to the Beatles, than Lisa Ling being afraid to commit, than a reality star morphing into The World's Most Important Conservative Voice (complete with earpiece and blue card notes). Meredith's new show got a two-year commitment and is likely to be cancelled next season. NBC Universal, which syndicates the show, already has allegedly made plans to launch a "View-type" panel show. http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/syndication-and-distribution/nbc-launch-crazy-talk-fall/138863 http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/83827/connick-show-heads-2016-development-slate It's the hot trend right now, and ABC wants as many eyeballs as possible for the 32 minutes of content they spread across an hour of daytime, slapped under the legacy title "The View". I like Raven. She brings a fresh and unconventional perspective. She may flame out like Matenopolous did, but she has been in the TV/entertainment industry for 25+ years. She is clearly out of touch about some things -- "Lets all vote by smartphone" or "I buy $450 bras" or "I feel dumb, where do I go to get taught stuff" or her craziest comment this week about "never wearing the same outfit in public twice". But she can read a teleprompter smoothly and seems open to opinions other than her own. I used to be in favor of adding Michelle Collins too, but her comedic schtick seemed a bit forced during her most recent gig, and I have a feeling she may be out of the running. I think the christian newswoman who filled in quite a bit about a month ago would be a better addition. She has some journalism chops and could be a better moderator when St Whoopi is away. Strangely, I also thought the parade of blonde models (Molly Simms? and one other one?) who alternated in the middle seat would add better to the mix than Michelle Collins. They seemed to actually have opinions that varied from the expected. I also think Joy Behar is going to return and replace Rosie Perez for next season.

I find Ellen Degeneres and Meredith Viera and Clinton Kelly and Joy Behar likeable, for example. I don't find any of the panel on The View likable. And I'm not a picky sort. Yep, you've nailed it. I like to watch shows where the hosts seem like people i'd like to hang out with. Even the evening talk shows, people watch(ed) Jonny Carson, David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Jimmy Kimmel, and all the new hosts, because they seem like people you want to listen to, people you'd like to meet for drinks or coffee, and talk to . People who might give a shit about who you are and what you think. For me, it would be Meredith, Rosie O, Joy - if they lived in my neighborhood, or worked in my office, I'd want to hang out with them. I don't LIKE anyone on the current panel I used to like Whoopi - but she has shown herself to be someone different than who I thought she was. She's told us over and over that she doesn't give a shit about anyone else's opinion, she is all about kissing up to the Hollywood elite. Nicole is empty-headed and can't listen to anyone else. Rosie P is a nice enough person, but the type who would make me nervous to be around. Raven over-estimates her own intelligence and seems entitled and spoiled. 13 Link to comment
ginger90 June 13, 2015 Share June 13, 2015 It seems as if Whoopi's don't tweet me, etc. could be an echo of ABC honchos. Why else would they not wake the hell up?

Some of one-liners are tired, but she is a smart, sophisticated, informed woman and she is very comfortable on-camera. And watching her verbally hold Nicole accountable for her stupid gibberish-to-nowhere will be an asset. Nobody is solid on that panel at the moment. 11 Link to comment

That would be more uncomfortable than to be a rare Republican poster, lol. I think it is tempting to bash Republicans here mostly because of Nicolle now and Elizabeth in the past. They weren't good representatives. I guess Rozie P is a Democrat, but I don't think Whoopi is either is she (who knows with Whoopi).

Then today she says she has to have clean underwear every day. Maybe she's a hoarder. She HAS to have clean underwear every day but she ain't gonna wear it! Remember when we used to hear/read about "Q" ratings? Per Wikipedia: The Q Score is a measurement of the familiarity and appeal of a brand, celebrity, company, or entertainment product (e.g., television show) used in the United States. The higher the Q Score, the more highly regarded the item or person is among the group familiar with them. I wonder if the networks are using this measurement...and if so, have they removed "appeal" from the criteria? That's the bizarre thing that stands out to me about the Republican party----they will praise and get behind any/all candidates no matter what. Candidate could be an evangelical looney, they could spew hate, violence, ignorance and judgement on any level, be embarrassing, and the talking heads support them. I just don't get it. Nicolle is just a squawking fool (IMHO). MatchaLove, that's because most Republicans adhere to Ronald Reagan's Eleventh Commandment quote, "The personal attacks against me during the primary finally became so heavy that the state Republican chairman, Gaylord Parkinson, postulated what he called the Eleventh Commandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.
