I am very disappointed you are still advertising Morningsave. What a rip off! They don’t allow returns and barely answer an email. I rarely watch your show anymore since you are still recommending such a lousy company.
Love the show up lifting
NOT available in GRand Rapids Michigan.
Miss the show.
Love this show! Every afternoon!!
I think there are too many shows in the morning that deliver too much banter and not enough substance. I guess it’s because people are bustling around and basically using these shows as white noise. But, I for one, am hoping to find some real thought provoking content. The kind of gritty, meaty stuff that Oprah and Donahue used to deliver. I think that’s why channels like CNN are grabbing such big chunks of the viewing audience these days.
I’m sorry, but WHY does Kelly have SO much makeup on?! She looks 3 times her age, and like a *clown*. I like Kelly just as she is, NOT all caked up… Just MY Opinion!
