What do you think? Are you a fan of The Chew? Will you be tuning in to watch this special ABC preview?
Love The Chew! Will definitely watch..
I LOVE THE CHEW. I wish I could visit the show and watch it everyday. I have got several recipes from the show. Who need to watch stupid SOAPS all day. Get a life.
Jesus Christ! When in the hell are they going to fricking cancel these STUPID, MORONIC, USELESS, BORING, LOUSY, UNAPPEALING, AND IDIOTIC TV shows? I really, really, really hate, loathe, and despise this show The Chew, as well as The View also, and I am very happy they cancelled it. If only they would get rid of all of the other rotten shows too. Why are they producing such STUPID programs with the idiots from the other HAS-BEEN channel, The Food Network, which no one watches, or wants to see anymore?????? And supposedly, they are going to replace this lousy TV… Read more »
when is the chew getting cancelled i hate this show so much
I think the chew is a stupid show and anybody that like is a jackass.
I love the show! It is fun and entertaining. The cast is great together and I did not think I was going to like this show.
I love it so much that I will DVR the show if I can’t watch in.
love the show and Glad to see more of it .
The cast is pretty fun to watch, but even with the best cast, I can only watch so much cooking, and I can’t imagine watching this every weekday.
Too many food shows already! I don’t expect this’n to succeed unless it’s ‘WAY better than most others, but I’ll at least give it a sampling. However, I’d usually rather watch something else other than a food show, as I already know how to eat.
Never ever will i watch the show that replaced all my children and one live to live. never will i watch anything on this station again either.im boycotting abc for life 13yrs of my life i watched my soaps and i would of always kept watching. never did i think my soaps were really going to go off air i thought the people would save it but i dont think we ever had a chance too abc just makes you think you have a say but we never did
