The View- will you continue to watch ?

[gueli]

Just curios, I have occasionaly watched the view- & I certainly enjoyed it more w/ Rosie O'Donnel- I found it more provocative...But with the recent "Fight" and her choosing to leave- will this affect Your Viewing the View ?
Thank You


PS- Please note- feel free to state your likes & dislikes- but try to keep from character bashing, I would hate to have thread removed.

Well since I work during the day, I never watched this show regularly (not worth TiVo'ing). I did TiVo episodes here and there if there was someone appearing as a guest on the show that I wanted to see. But what I've seen of it, I never liked. They've had way too many personalities on that show that I didn't like, the list is long! But I'll just say I think Rosie leaving is a good thing and leave it at that. I can't believe some of the things that have come out of her mouth.

I am a big Rosie O fan - and now get my fix of her on her blog. He new book coming out in the fall, Celebrity Detox, should be very interesting....

I have watched the View since it started, because I am a talk show junkie, and will probably continue to do so - though, I doubt I'll enjoy it as much as I did when Rosie was there.

I never did find it very interesting to watch people tell me their view when I am so strong-minded on my own. I'll continue not watching .
Since I teach, I could only watch on my breaks during the year anyway.

Can someone give me the link to her blog I cant find it anywhere..

[Carol]

Nope. I never watched before this year and have not watched since last Wednesday. It's off from my TiVo regardless of who the guests are. I cannot stand Elisabeth. I love Joy but not enough to tolerate EH.

Just google 'Rosie' and the site will come right up.

I only started watching because I enjoy Rosie so much. I have already removed from my DVR recording list. I will miss seeing Joy, but as much as I loved Elisabeth on Survivor, I do not enjoy her on this show.

I can't stand Elisabeth either. And not because she's got views opposite my own -its the way she talks or screeches...... or the way she appears to be so intolerant of people different than herself. Her bringing up the Donald in that argument was such a low blow.......

Theres an amusing website out there - fire<insert her whole name here> dot com. I think its pretty funny. Its not going to bring Rosie back - but I guess its a way of people venting their annoyance......

So if Rosie had Elisabeth's voice, you wouldn't be able to stand her either?

I'm not really a fan of Elisabeth either. I think she doesn't often defend her positions clearly, and can be a little whiny... but she has been Rosie's whipping girl since Rosie came on board and it's about high time she fought back instead of whimpering into her corner. Bringing up Donald was a little weird, but on the whole I think Elisabeth was correct. If Rosie wants to make controversial statements, she needs to be able to defend them herself.

I was never a daily watcher of the View but I can't say whether or not I'll tune in until I know who the replacements are. Oh and for everyone that can't stand Elisabeth, don't forget she'll be going on maternity leave anyway.

I had a post deleted already for saying this,but I will try again.
Good Riddance,Rosie.
I have no problem at all with views opposite of mine,as long as the person having them has a clue what they are talking about.This does not apply to Rosie.It seems that her feud with Donald Trump gave her a lust for publicity, so she just started spewing trash out of her mouth to get some more.She is a hateful person and I think that she did Disney a favor by leaving early.

Your previous post was deleted because it didn't belong in that thread. You can say whatever you want here, as you are entitled to YOUR view.

Rosie has her own View. She was paid to talk about that View. It seems to me that of all the celebrities, Rosie has the least lustful need for publicity. She stands up for her beliefs, and she cares about things that NO one has the guts to talk about. She gives more money to charity then just about any TV personality and the View has already gone back to its boring un-original prior show.

Let's see if The View gets a Daytime Emmy nomination next year, and since ABC was originally offering her a 6 year contract to renew, it seems they loved the money her presence on the show created.

Believe it or not, I am not a die-hard Rosie fan, it was just nice to have someone on television that wasn't afraid that their standing up for what they believe in was less important than their career.

Didn't watch it before, don't plan to watch in the future.

Watching the hosts, regardless of who they are, sit there and squabble is just not entertainment to me.

I'm sure they don't just sit and squabble all the time, but they do it enough. I just don't find it entertaining or informative.

[DisneyGiant]

So if Rosie had Elisabeth's voice, you wouldn't be able to stand her either?

Yeah - probably.

[PirateLover]

Yeah - probably.

Haha, alright then, that's fair

She stands up for her beliefs, and she cares about things that NO one has the guts to talk about.

Hey Michael, I have to disagree with you a little bit here. There are a lot of people out there that say the same things Rosie does. Just looking at the View itself, she tended to get more support on her views from the other hosts than Elisabeth did. Hollywood is full of people who believe Bush is the devil and that the war was all a big scheme etc. She just had a larger platform.

[MNNHFLTX]

I watched The View sporadically before Rosie came on and I'll probably watch sporadically now that she's gone too--but I did watch it more this past year with Rosie on. I do think she made the show much more interesting.

Even if they all had the same political view as mine, I can't handle listening to four women gab.

I never really watched before, but a friend kept trying to convince me. I tried, really I did, but sometimes it just got so far out of control with everyone speaking at once that it drove me nuts. I've still been watching some, and I have to say I enjoy it more now that Rosie is gone, especially when Whoopi's there (and I don't even care for her that much!). It seems like the hosts are still expressing their opinions, but they aren't having to yell over the others to be heard.

And IMHO Rosie was so opinionated and is so passionate about her beliefs that if anyone didn't agree with her, she wasn't going to let them be heard. Sometimes people have to agree to disagree, but I don't think that's possible for her.

Exactly my feeling!! I watched The View occasionally before Rosie. I won't watch it anymore.

[snifflesmcg]

I only ever caught "The View" here and there throughout the years. I absolutely hate Elizabeth and watched because I love Rosie. Rosie brought flare to the show and I'm proud of her for being outspoken and she isn't afraid to voice her oppinion....loudly (like me). I probably will pass it over now that she is gone.

[cetacean01]

As a blue blooded die hard LIBERAL I can honestly say that I cant stand Rosie. I met her when she had her own show and she was just a mean person to everyone. I do subscribe to many of her views (equality for all, end the war, etc.) but I hate that she thinks of herself as a spokesperson for the left.

Now as much as I dont like Rosie-multiply that by 100 and you have my feelings on Elizabeth.


Long story short.....................Not gonna watch it either way! LOL
