Okay, I haven't watched it in so long that I didn't even know Lisa Ling was ever on the show. Absolutely refused to ever watch when Jenny McCarthy was on. Maybe I'll give it another try now.

I'm one of those who still watch. Of course I've only started watching the last few years or so, so I didn't know it in its heyday. I record it and watch it at lunch (I'm WAH) and while it can be very frustrating at times, I still enjoyed it. When The Talk started though, I was prepared to replace it with The Talk (though I can't stand Julie Chen). Loved the first season of The Talk. Then they fired Leah and Holly and that was it for me. The only one left that I liked was Melissa.
I don't hate Jenny, but I didn't think she was a good fit and I hated the goofy stuff they started doing (their little tabloid segment with Jenny and Sherri). I think she tried to be like Joy, throwing in the little zingers, and I'm sorry Jenny but you are no Joy!
I'm excited to see Rosie come back and I'm looking forward to what it will look and sound like with the new cast.

Why did Sheri and Jenny get let go? Ahhh.... The real question is why was Jenny ever hired! This is not a show I put on to watch. It is sometimes in the background as noise as I fold laundry or whatever. I detest Jenny McCarty and what she stands for. I wish she'd stick to comedy and stop speaking about things she has no knowledge of. Actually, I wish she'd go back to school and get an actual education.

I haven't watched in years because I couldn't stand the ratings of both Elizabeth and Joy. Then, once I heard Barbara Walters was finally retiring, I've caught it a few times. I remain blah about it.

A little bit of a side note - I have Siruius XM radio in the car. Jenny McCarthy has a new show on the Stars channel, called Dirty Sexy Funny. I was listening to another show, and that ended, and Jenny's show came on. Oh my gosh, what a foul mouthed, disgusting monologue she started with! I'm pretty tolerant, but I turned it off quick. She is HORRIBLE. Disgusting. Ick. I heard it on Sirius XM and I couldn't believe it either and I'm not a prude. I don't think her show will be on long because what little bit I heard wasn't entertaining.

Bill Geddie (co-executive producer with Barbara Walters) is also leaving the show. He has been there since day one. He is being replaced with an executive producer from MSNBC. I forget the new guys name but he produces the Rachel Maddow show.

It's part of the "cleaning house"

My only question about The View is why anyone watches it. No kidding. Save brain cells--read a book...or watch paint dry...or do anything really.

The day I read the news that Jenny was no longer going to be on the view anymore was such a happy day. That woman has caused so much harm, and that ABC even gave her a very public platform disgusted me. When she got hired I quit watching the show. Now I can watch again. ABC didn't give her a platform. They just hired her as a co-host. I never heard her talk about vaccinations on the show. I had the impression she was warned off talking about it. I'm not the president of her fan club or anything- and God knows I was skeptical, but I thought she did well on the show. I was surprised they didn't renew her contract. Barbara needed to retire. She seemed like she was losing it. Sherrie needed to go too. Her time there went to her head. She started thinking she was smart or something. I think when she got into salary negotiations, she thought her 7 years meant they would fight to keep her. She asked for too much, they weren't really invested in keeping her- and Sherrie is out of a job. Not a minute too soon, IMO.

I have watched the show from almost the beginning. I could learn more from a book, but that is true of almost all television. I do fast forward when it gets too political or corny. I like the guests they have that aren't celebrities. I was never a fan of Rosie O. because she was so opinionated and mean. Whoopi tends to roll her eyes, but doesn't usually call out another host in a nasty way. Some of the new ladies they have been trying out seem they are trying too hard. I really tend to like the funny ones (Jenny wasn't horrible, but never seemed to fit either). I think they have hired people like Rosie, Sherri, and Jenny because of their views. They don't want 5 average people discussing everything without a lot of differences. When people grate on you, the show either interests or irritates you. I will be anxious to watch in September to see how it goes. I don't watch reality tv. I much prefer a talk show setting.
