What do you think? Do you watch daytime talk shows? Are you glad to hear that The Drew Barrymore Show has been renewed for a second season?
I totally love this show! An hour of fresh air that makes me smile and feel happy. Compared to that other showon cbs at same time slot(which is just terrible) the Drew Barrymore show is so refreshing to watch. She and Ross also work well together. I don’t know about some of you but her show makes me say ahhhh…yes!
I am not thrilled that she has been renewed every time I flip on the TV and see her her mouth is open and she’s screaming and has nothing interesting to say!!! if I pause for a second to listen all I hear is her screaming at the top of her lungs!!! Also when she’s interviewing somebody she constantly refers back to herself & her past career and doesn’t allow that person to speak. Disgusting… !
Her show is AWFUL! Surprised it wasn’t cancelled.. only a matter of time.
I am so thrilled that Drew is coming back for another season..I look forward to her show every day.. she makes my day!!!
This is a joke? Right? This show is so cringe…. it rivals the brady bunch variety hour
I am in “Awe” of Miss Drew, for she expresses her truths, values and extends us-her audience to participate in letter writing. Of course all of her Movies I own hee hee.
So delighted the Drew Barrymore Show will be returning. I just love her positive approach and her commitment to presenting topics to improve our lives and our planet.
I think the Drew Barrymore show is the best thing to hit daytime TV. It is so relevant to this day and age!
I love this show! I’m in law school and have felt very low in my mental health lately. Watching Drew take her positivity and liveliness to my TV every morning helped a great deal – if even a little bit! And now I know how to wrap a present, cook orecchiette, and fold a fitted sheet the right way! Everybody should watch this show for a spark of joy in the morning.
I do not like her. She’s a phony always happy. I watched the court show every day and was upset when it was replaced by Drew.
I agree. I hate her show. I wish I knew where I could post how I feel so that it counts
Ummm…would you feel better if she was always sad, angry or mopey on her show? You can watch the other terrible talk shows for that like The Talk or the View. Just sayin…
Drew Barrymore is a breath of fresh air, while also being informative and has the best guests! So happy this show is renewed!
Drew is excellent entertainer and beautiful woman.
Omg all deserved…..she has it..she got it
So sweetest lady Drew…boom
Xoxo
I’m glad this got a second season. Drew is so likeable and fun. I’m not a daily watcher though. I hope they bring Ross back too. They’re fun to watch together.
No! I change the channel when she comes on. 3 thumbs DOWN!!
She is so fake!
you’ve got 3 thumbs? lol
