TV show description:
An ABC morning talk show whose goal is to showcase the perspectives of a variety of diverse women.
Each episode opens with the all-female panel discussing and commenting on “hot topics,” the day’s top headlines. The rest of the show is filled with interviews with celebrities, authors, or politicians. Occasionally, there are craft, lifestyle, or fashion segments as well.
The series was co-created by veteran newswoman Barbara Walters who also serves as a semi-regular co-host. Other regular co-hosts have included Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Lisa Ling, Debbie Matenopoulos, Rosie O’Donnell, Star Jones Reynolds, Sherri Shepherd, and Meredith Vieira.
Every show has a shelf life. When the show began it was unique, and Meredith Vieira was the ideal (sane) shepherd for the fun, interesting, and intelligent group of women who were on the show during those earlier years. The show has since lost its way, and frankly, I question the ability of most of these women to speak intelligently about the topics of the day. Nicolle Wallace has been a huge disappointment, as she has chosen too often to bite her tongue and go along to get along (and, as a Democrat, that is something for me to say).… Read more »
This is the only fun show I watch regularly because I love Rosie Perez and adore Whoopi. I hope this show will remain as long as Whoopi is around to host it. She’s a gem!
I agree. I might not agree 100 percent of the time with individual cast members, but I truly enjoy Nicolle Wallace who is a smart political analyst.
I am done watching the view especially since Rosie Perez is leaving! Now I hear Nicole Wallace is leaving! In my opinion the show should be cancelled! I don’t particularly care for Michelle Collins! Most of what she says does not make any sense!
if they go I will miss must have Mondays
It should be called the whoopie view show..if you don’t agree with her she will out talk you & say don’t text me I don’t care, then go to commercial break. We are used to Whoopies wild style, now we have another sloppy dresser in Raven…no class to the show and no real exchange of views on no real topics…
The View is loooooong past its death rattle. Whoppi – who cares; she is so obnoxious and over-the-top and just an ugly old stubborn woman who likes to *****. Nicole is a total waste; from her whiny-ass, intolerable voice, to what she claims as her opinions adds nothing to an intelligent conversation. Rosie P is going, going…will she ever go. Talk about a whiny-ass, indecypherable voice – thank you for pulling the plug on her. And, Raven, who the hell cares about anything she has to say – why should we. The whole show doesn’t come together, the co-hosts seem… Read more »
The view should be called the Rosie Perez show, she really thinks she knows it all, she is rude of guests as well as her co hosts, she “uh, “uh” very hard to watch. My husband walked out of the room the other day because he coudn’lt take any more of her talking, walked back in and asked if she said anything meaningful, I said NO, I had her on mute, I have to mute 3/4 of the show because I can’t stand listening to her, she cannot speak, and is VERY irritating, she needs to go…she is loud and… Read more »
I also think Nicole has sold her so called consertive soul to the devil.. I hope it truly gets cancelled.. the last thing we need is young Mothers that is staying home to raise their children to hold any credibility from these women. NOT A GOOD WAY. TO START THEIR DAY..
The View need all new people!! The “Grumpy Know It All Boss”, the Republican, the Part-time Theater Actress, and “Ms. Oddball Roll Your Eyes and Do Your Own Thing”. If this crew stays I know myself and others who will not watch the show. When I try to watch now I end up turning the channel. It needs all new blood!!!
I see a lot of negative comments about The View. I feel like it is a work in progress. Yes Rosie is struggling but she sure does know her stuff… Look how Sherri Shepard turned things around.. Yes Whoopie can be overbearing…but she does make a good moderator. She could hush Rosie O with a look. Thank goodness Rosie O is off the show.. Nicole is an added bonus to the show… Lets give it a chance and watch how far it goes
I have been a fan of “the View” since the very first episode. I’m sorry to say,I will not watch anymore because the choice of the new co-host Raven. She is not a likeable personality and does not have anything constructive to offer the show. I’ll miss you in the mornings. Bye bye View.
why should nichole get fired just because she isn’t up on the kardashions, that’s BS, who are they anyhow, I like her, and Elizabeth Hass, and both Rosie’s. the show has probably run its course now though and no one should feel bad, had a good run. I miss BW but I love whoopi, I’lll miss the show
Love The View, especially this year, the addition of Nicole Wallace whom is my second favorite after Whoopi, Raven gives us some insight to what the younger generation is thinking – we need help in getting our younger people involved in our country – going out to vote – I would like to see Christal added as a co-host –
Put us all out of our misery and cancel the thing!
So agree! Time to cancel !
ABC needs to cancel the View! I am offended every time I am in a room and am forced to listen to Whoopy and her hateful hateful loud mouth! I do not watch it, nor do I believe it is suitable daytime television. These are the most outrageous, hate mongers I have ever heard. They talk so bad about others, and are doing ten times worse. They are race biased, and completely one sided, and just spew out pure hate. Obviously, other “hosts” have also been verbally abused by Whoopy, as this show has already had a huge turnover in… Read more »
Agree 100%
I so agree, the show is so one sided…and then you add Raven who rolls her eyes and gives off such negative manerisms when she doesn’t agree with what ps talked about! I’m so tired of Whoopie saying mean spirited comments and then says I don’t care what any body thinks…it’s time to end the show: PLEASE
If they would stop going into such graphic details of sex, their sex lives – who cares!?- the show might have a chance. We don’t care what your “post menopausal” ****** is like! Love ya Woopie, but we don’t need constant reminders that you don’t wear a bra (heard it a hundred times) and it gets a little old hearing you talk about tripping over “them”. It’s just gotten too much about sex at the start of each show. My perception, Some of the guest hosts may be the sweetest people in the world, but Stacie London is not a… Read more »
Keep the view, it’s all about freedom to have our own view!!! Love Whoopie, she is a comedian remember, but she gets slot a craps down viewers that think she should shut up…..but she is old school and honest and I like that. ROSE P. is full of herself and racist. It’s all about Latinas from her. RAVEN is new Young blood, I like her! NICOLE a true republican but I like her thoughts! I love the VIEW and all the others like The Talk, Real, etc are just copy cats….generic! KEEP THE VEIW AND SOMEONe to replace ROSEY and… Read more »
The view needs to be canceled. It is literally painful to watch. The co hosts do not mesh well. None of the guest co hosts are good. This ship has sunk. Please pull the plug to make room for something better. Thanks.
I have watched The View since the beginning but with this new group of cohosts I have stopped watching and so have many other people I know. We used to talk about what had been discussed on the show, interesting opinions or articles in the world and relevant subjects that were intelligent and/or humorous. Now they discuss farts, sex (way too much), and the endless talk of “woman power” and the need for more diversity to ad nauseam. Rosie P is not a talk show host. Its painful to try to listen to her spit out her thoughts. Nicolle at… Read more »
Totally agree
Read all the comments and agree with this one the most.
