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.
I. I am also a nurse and have GREAT respect for Barbra Walters. This show has turned into a vicious machine with interchangeable parts. This can’t be what Walters envisioned it to be. I make it a mission to encourage everyone I can not to watch it. It is “terrible tv”
Nurses unite….The View should be cancelled. Little did they know what a strong supporter Johnson and Johnson is of nursing. (View some of Johnson & Johnson videos on youtube) These women have no clue what it takes to become a nurse and to maintain the necessary competency level to provide safe, quality patient care. Their comments were ignorant and hostile. Their apology was forced and useless especially when they say that nurses took their statements out of context. We are educated people who know what we see and hear. While their comments about nursing were crystal clear as were their… Read more »
THE VIEW IS THE WORST SHOW ON T V
What I do not like about The View, it is their liberal view and no one elses. If you disagree, they tear you up and say you are so wrong and sometimes walk off the show because you do not agree with them. The women on the View would not know the truth if it hit them in the face.
I so agree I started watching this show at the beginning and loved it. Now it’s just disgusting just a bunch of angry liberals. Whoopi time to find something else, your a great actress and this is not for you.
I will never watch the view. This show needs cancelled. Whoopi gets away with whatever but let someone else say the same thing and all he’ll would break loose. Very disappointed with what joy has said about nurses and I feel she should be fired!!!’!!!!!!!!!
The view has become the worst show on T.V. And that was long before the idiotic remarks about Nurses. It has become a platform for personal hate speech. And needs to be taken off the air. This mix is now more like a wild pack of dogs than a informed group of ladies with insightful takes on the hot topics of today. Kick them to the curb!
Please cancel the View. I have been a nurse for 35 years and find this show insulting. The women hosting are insincere, do nothing to promote nor support women (as the original intent of the show) and have insulted the profession of Nursing. In this day of not having enough healthcare providers to care for aging American, I doubt seriously any of the women that host the View are going to reach out to help nurse a friend or go to nursing school. Please cancel this show as it really has turned into a self serving, egotistical gathering of aging… Read more »
I couldn’t agree more with what has already been said here. I too, being a nurse of 33 years, were insulted. Then I wondered why. I considered who was insulting us. None of the opinions that come out of their liberal, condescending mouths make any difference. It truly shows how out of touch they are. They are clueless about real people with real jobs. Please, oh please, cancel this show. It is not what the show started out being about. At one time it was entertaining. Now its just a bunch of opinionated liberal women bashing anyone who doesn’t “look… Read more »
I am adult enough to realize the comments made were done so without serious thought, however I would love to have any of the women from the View come and spend just one shift with me on my job. I wear my stethoscope proud. And yes my scrubs are only a part of my uniform as I’m also a housekeeper, waitress, and many many other things in my 12 + hour shift.
The ridiculous, arrogant condescending panel of the view prove daily that they are nothing but bratty, catty gossip queens with no regard to the truth, to women, and the hardworking nurses. There motto is “Hot Topics” They condemn individual with an immature gossipy manner. They do not discuss “Hot Topics” like mature adults instead they gossip and add their own childish, High-schoolish _ teenage view point. Where is the value in what they say? The panelist for the View is a disgrace to Barbara Walters. These women are self-absorbed in their own celebrity status and they do not add in… Read more »
I do wonder if the ladies ever say anything that is important. The reason I ask this question is they are rude to each other and yell and I for one can’t hear or understand them. Like being with a group of unruly children. I hope that the powers that be will send out a PA because most of us old folks can’t make out what they say. Manners ladies manners, Did you hear me?
Please cancel The View!!!!
I second that.
The cast gives a bad name to all females on this planet.
It should be removed from from television, asap.
Joy, You should be ashamed of yourself. I stopped watching the show because of the negative remarks that are made. I know now that I will never watch the show. I am also going to let your sponsors know what type of show you do. How dare you make fun of nurses. When you go into the hospital I hope they refuse to treat you but I know they won’t because they are dedicated. You stand on your feet 12 hours helping sick people & see how you feel. I know you were invited to shadow a nurse why don’t… Read more »
I can’t believe this piece of garbage has hung on for this long…
Why do they always interrupt and talk over each other. Some of the ladies try to be funny, they look ridiculous. This show has gone down the tubes.
The show is boring and the cohorts are not informed. Especially that stupid Raven. It is dead.
