So, any View watchers? What do you think of the cast shake-up again!
I wasn't wild about this last season. I do like Jenny but I didn't think she brought enough seriousness to the role. I think she worried too much about being funny AND about not offending people. Sherry, well, she was always a little out of her depths. It's funny, the day they announced they were quitting was probably the day I saw Jenny and Sherry get the feistiest. They were arguing with each other over whether the pictures Brandi Glanville posted of her boys in their underwear were inappropriate. They should have brought that all season. I kind of get tired of Whoopi just sitting there with that look on her face as if she's above it all though--if you're above the discussions, then leave! Not to mention, she stumbles all over her words when she reads from the teleprompter. AND she will allow all kind of bad behavior from her fellow celebrities. I've seen her make excuses for them left and right, including Mel Gibson and Roman Polanski.
I'm not sure who should replace the departing cast members. I LOVE that Rosie is coming back. I would like to see Leah Remini or Holly Robinson-Peete from The Talk come on over. I also feel they need a conservative voice--I miss Elisabeth. I've heard rumors that it will be Sarah Palin though (which can't be true, right?) and all I think is please, dear God no!

I don't get a chance to watch it too often, but when they announced Jenny McCarthy would be co-host I knew I wouldn't be watching at all. Personally I think she's a wack-a-doo and it frightened me that she would have an even bigger platform to spew her mis-information. Depends on who they replace them with whether I'll watch again or not. I'm an independent and think they should have people representing both sides of the aisle, but Sarah Palin would definitely not be my choice for that.

I do not watch the view any more. And bringing Rosie back isn't going to bring me back to the view either. She used to bulldoze over anyone with an opinion different than hers. I can find that here  I don't need to tune into the view to see it. Woopie does nothing for me in this role. She is a fantastic actress, and a darn funny comedian. But in the role of chatting about current events she just doesn't do it for me. She just seems more like a cranky old lady than Barbara did. |

I am thrilled to hear that Jenny McCarthy is out! Now I can watch the show again if the mood strikes me. I boycotted the show as soon as she became a part of it.

If they are going to bring a whacked out person like Rosie back, I think Sarah Palin would be a good person to have on the other side of her.
I still won't be watching. I used to tune in on rare occasion for certain guests that I would hear about but with Rosie on there, I will never tune in.

I miss Elisabeth! Even though I didn't agree with her politically, I really liked her. (I agree with Joy politically but she was too extreme and I couldn't stand her the past few years). I didn't like the show this year. They all talk at once a lot, and I automatically turn down the tv even though that doesn't help! I wasn't a big fan of Barbara though. I tried to like her, but couldn't. I do admire all that she has done in her career! I guess to me, she seemed to "brag" a lot more. Probably just me though!

I don't watch the view but Rosie O'Donnell would be the number one reason to avoid the show. Her rudeness and intolerance for anybody who doesn't think like she does is repulsive to me. It's too bad too because back in the day I thought she was very funny and entertaining.

Then she went on the view and holy moly she was just a battering ram. I couldn't watch. |

I stopped watching when they added Jenny McArthy. She's one nutter I can't tolerate.

Rosie ruined that show. I could hardly handle Joy's bitchiness but then they added Rosie and it was all over. The most intolerant person they could put on that show. I haven't watched in years so I don't know how Jenny has been.
However I did read an article about Rosie a few months ago. Parker, her oldest child, was determined to go to military college. Rosie flipped out and refused to send him saying he would be going against everything she stood for and how could he when she has spent so many years railing against guns, military, wars, etc. His response was that he wanted to protect the very freedoms that allow her to rail against those things and her freedom to speak her mind as freely as she does. Apparently she shut up and wrote the tuition check. I thought that was a great story!

Whackadoodle Jenny, lol! I was surprised because I liked her more than expected. But I still hate celebrities who feel the need to spread their opinions about medicines whether vaccinations, depression meds, or Ritalin.
Joy became a bitchy hammer, even tho I often shared her political stance. I was relieved she left.
I'm sorry Sheri is leaving, she added some fun, and seemed to know she is a comic, not a pundit or expert.
Rosie? No need to dvr now! As far as adding the unmentionable. Didn't a poll just show her 15 minutes over? Let's hope so!

Nope, I won't be watching. I stopped watching when she was on the first time. When she left, I returned to watching it again. Now that she is coming back, my days of watching will be over when the shows with her start running. I cannot abide watching her steamroller over the guests & other co-hosts. I'm sure I'll be able to find something else to watch. If not, I'll watch YouTube videos on scrapbooking, card making & other crafty goodness!

I stopped watching when Lisa Ling left the show and haven't watched it since! I won't be watching it in the future either. Wendy Williams is on at the same time and if she's a rerun that day, I like to watch Kathie Lee and Hoda!

I like Rosie and quit watching the View when she left. I'm not sure how well she is going to get along with Whoopie however. I used to like Whoopie but not so much anymore.
I also think the third person should Jenny. |

Meredith and Lisa lent some credibility to the show with their news/journalism backgrounds, and even as awful as Star Jones ended up being in the end at least she was an attorney. They keep adding shrill voices with no credibility after they left. I would only ever watch again if someone like Lisa and Meredith returned. |

I might be the only one who likes Jenny, Sherri IMO is a hit /miss. I used to watch all the time but over the past 2 seasons stopped because I could not stand Barbara anymore. I used to lover her when the show first started but the show became Barbara Walters "view".
It will be interesting to see how this plays out, I would like to see a guy in there for a change, I like it when they have male hosts, it changes things up a bit.

I watched it a couple weeks back and thought "what a horrible train wreck of a show". Can't imagine it being on the air for so long. Sorry not a fan and with Rosie on it will be even less of a fan.

Cannot stand Rosie and I sure as heck cannot stand Palin. I wasn't a regular watcher of The View so I will quit watching all together now.

I have watched off and on over the years.
I can't believe they would even think of having Sarah Palin on the View. She's way too wacky.
Rosie is fine.
it's interesting how much turnover they have had lately, but I won't miss Jenny.

I thought they got rid of Rosie because she was making the show lose viewers. Why would they bring her back?

Have they been saying anything about The Talk beating them out? Because if it has been, just look at their group of ladies? They are all very respectful of ea other. There isn't all the yelling. They let ea other talk. They talk about interesting things. I think if they have these very strong politically minded women in a group, it's not going to work. They need to tone it back. We want normal women we can relate too.

Rosie O'Donnell and Sarah Palin would be in slap fights 5 minutes into the show. I can't believe that would work.

I read that Rosie only agreed to be back on if she has a say in the new hosts.

I haven't watched since Lisa Ling left. She was a terrific cohost, and I'd watch again if they brought her back.
Joy cracked me up. I never understood the hate towards her. Rosie I could do without.
Megan McCain would be a good candidate for host as well.

I don't need to tune into the view to see it.
