I returned this season to The View, maily becasue of Nicolle Wallace…I left the View after many years when Jenny McCarthy joined…I am now leaving again…..Nothing against Whoopie or the others but it is over for me…
this show is horrible starting with Whoppi you people are making this no talent jizillionaire you are ridicoulous
I have watched The View since day 1, part of my daily morning schedule…BUT…now I switch the channel or turn off the TV. If you happen to be a white, Christian, believe in marriage and some morals you are bashed daily, The show used to educate, let everyone bring their point of VIEW and attempt to help us understand and accept each other . It has lost class and become a very tacky, low class, polarizing 3rd rate show .
I am actually watching the view while typing this. Raven has just asked if VP Biden runs for president can he still RUN for VP again. Really, is that a real question, back to grade school for you little girl. This is the reason I will no longer be watching this dog and pony show. If you should find this girl as ignorant as a rock, and find someone that can put together a sentence without embarrassing themselves, I will return. Until then, bye bye.
I love the view. Been watching it forever. Woopie is my favorite of course. Rosie is my least favorite. My only complaint is – THERE ARE TOO MUCH TIME DEVOTED TO COMMERCIALS. They get entirely too much air time. The show starts, then five minutes later, commercials, sometimes 12 of them – then you get the panel for 3 minutes, then five more minutes of commercials, so on and so forth. I doubt if the actual presentation of the show is more than 20 minutes – the rest is the same old commercials, over and over. Still I do not… Read more »
I actually like the 2 new host much more then nicole and Rosie Perez. I feel much more positive about watching now. This is the last chance for the view and it may work.
If the View goes off the air, I will miss it. I have been watching since the beginning and actually like the perspective that Nicole Wallace brings to the show, even though I am not a Republican. I find that Michelle Collins is more of a distraction than the other hosts. She seems to be constantly interrupting and I personally don’t find her input to be very interesting. The show seems to be skewing younger and younger. Come on, people, who do you think is home watching television in the middle of the morning? I appreciate the additional time that… Read more »
Well, I give up. Been watching The View for over 15 years and today will be the last. This season went downhill after Rosie O left in January and never recovered. Now Nichole and Rosie P won’t be back next season? Count me out in September unless you are lucky enough to get Joy Behar back!
what really bother me is the fact that The Show looking for than an infomercial,,,really tacky
There is just way too much aggression coming from the liberals on the view & Nicole Wallace sometimes seems to be half afraid to give her true “view” just to prevent the foaming at the mouth from big mouth Rosie Perez. Perez is like a rabbid chihuahua if you have a “view” that opposes her “view” ! I occasionally watch the openining of the show just to see what they are spewing and it never fails, within minutes, I turn it off. I get the feeling that I’m taking a walk through the ghetto of television. No class, all crass… Read more »

For those of you who think the show should be cancelled because you don’t like the host or just the show, than all you have to do is change the channel. “The View” is exactly that The view on different topics from different people. That is what is great about the show. And the host are perfect. Different ethnics, backgrounds and different ideas. Besides talking about serious subjects there is also some humor. And lets not forget about the guest they have on.
Thank you. I love this show, it’s lasted because it’s current, fun, serious at time and informative. I want and love the diverse hosts and am glad there is always a chance to hear different points of VIEW, ! Thank you all, who watch and love this show, let’s keep it on the air!
I agree also. I have been watching it for years and have seen the co-hosts come and go. I think they try to have co-hosts from different ages, backgrounds ( like previous careers), and personalities. Of course, everyone will have differing opinions on different topics. That’s what the show is about the view on current topics . You notice how long the “Hot Topics” segment is now compared to years ago? That’s because people, (like me , too) enjoy more of their discussions on what’s going on in Hot Topics. (It used to be just the first 15 , than… Read more »
Different points of view, really. If you oppose the leftist political slant, these rude big mouthed bullies – Whoopi and Joy will scream and talk over anyone whose opinion or view they disagree with.
This show needs to go!!!
I do agree the View has gone downhill. I have watched it off and on since the beginning. It is so liberal now that there is only one view. And to be co-hosts the “uhs” and “you know what I’m saying” fillers are horrible. And now I cannot watch and listen to people eating as they talk!
And they obviously do not care what the viewers think as they keep telling us that. So, as others have stated, I will change the channel.
I used to plan my day around the View, now I don’t care about t
really miss Joy and the rest, even Elizabeth guess nothing lasts forever.
