The View

9 years ago

This show has taken a huge turn downhill. Boring moderators. Even more boring guests. I never realized that Barbara Walters added so much to that. BORING

I never liked the show. Loud mouth overly opinionated mods who never allowed guests to make a decent point without being attacked . I can't believe it's lasted so long...

I haven't watched in a few years. I enjoyed the first few seasons with Meredith Vierra and gang. I rarely watched the episodes when BW was on. I always felt she was tooting her own horn, especially when her book came out. I thought this current cast was an odd one and wonder how long Whoopie will hang around.

I like The Talk, it's got a mix of everything without any drama. Sharon Osbourne doesn't have a filter, so nothing surprises me with her.

I am still trying to get into Meredith's new show as I said I really like her, but sometimes it feels like she is a bit uncomfortable without co-hosts.

KJ I think it’s an easy task, especially with a young rose you planted yourself . In zone 9B, you can plant high above the graft and any Huey that pops out below the bud union will be very obvious, just snap it off completely when you see it. Claire those reasons make sense to me for cold weahter locales. If it dies to the ground, the rose will come back true to variety. In my mild winter climate I always plant as high up on the root system as possible because all the best soil is on top (there’s a reason it’s coalled topsoil lol!) , so its not wasted on the graft and can be used by feeder roots. Also, I don’t have to dig so deep into the much harder adobe clay below. I am quite opportunistic and get whatever rootstock comes my way! With good care and a benevolent climate, the great majority of roses thrive regardless of own root or whichever rootstock.

Rear view mirrors w/backup view...good?bad?
Q
Comments (11)
I have to agree with Lowspark. I drive a SUV, a big one. I pull a trailer with it in the summer, and it's the only tow vehicle we now own. (So I don't get slammed as I have in the past for driving a gas hog!) That said, I wish I had the back up camera, which was not available when we bought it in 2005. I use my mirrors, I turn and look, but there are blind spots, as there are with ANY vehicle. We do have a back up camera in the motor home. What a God send! DH even added a side view camera, as the glass in the door is a frosted privacy glass. When you come to a diagonal intersection, you can NOT see from the driver's seat to check traffic coming from the right. Normally we are both in it so the other checks traffic, but there are times we need that side view camera, either when only one of us is in it, or when checking traffic at highway ramps. For some reason, people no longer think that they have to yeild when they are the ones entering the highway, they think we have to move over to let them on. Well, I have news for them. Some day they will be buying someone else a new vehicle. There are times you just can't be nice and move over for them! Especially driving a large vehicle, SUV or motorhome as examples. Those cameras are great! You might only use it once in a while, but that one time might save a life or a car,no matter how careful you are. Tami

Silver Line or ViewPoint (Pro View)

The silver line window is one the worst windows made other than crystal. Anderson bought silver line a few years ago and it almost put them out of business because of the poor quality construction of the window caused numerous service for installers. Silver line's goal was to make as many windows as fast as possoble. Anderson didn't know what they were getting into when they purchased silver line

Two sofas facing each other & perpendicular TV viewing
Q
Comments (19)
Yes, that is the exact set up we have--- and that part of our basement has a width of about 14 or 15 feet I think so it is very similar to yours. In fact, our ID brought one of the walls in closer to create a more intimate "inglenook" type area. We don't have a problem with stiff necks while watching anything if we're sitting upright. And we have two swivel chairs at the ends of the sofas where one can view easily, but the prime real estate is still the sofas. I have to ask, though, for people whose sofas face the tv: does it hurt your neck to watch while you are lying on the sofa? It's the same situation....I never hear of anyone complaining about that,

I happened on some youtube clips of old shows. Whooppi, Baer, BW, Rosie they are all way over the top and do not allow anyone to differ from what they think. Frankly I think they are pushing a horrid agenda. I have never been able to stomach more than 10 minutes of that show and I have tried over the years... All those talk shows..they grate on me after long.

I like Whoopie, but don't want to "watch" her. I like Rosie, but she's a shock jock and I'm not into THAT. I watched it yesterday....Rosie picked her nose and ate it...let me just say I did NOT want or need to see that....

:0) Moving on...

I also have "tried" to watch them from time to time and I can not stand them any more! I don't know how they have stayed on this long....and hope it won't be much longer!

They stay on because people DO watch the show!

I never do though... not much of a TV gal, especially during the day.

watched for the first time today with new cast,, seemed pretty mild..maybe in deference to the loss of mike Nichols and the friendship he had with whoopee...she was very emotional....

I guess I'm the odd one out, as I actually like The View better now. The seasons that included Barbara, Elizabeth, Joy and Rosie were difficult to watch, because of all the interrupting and arguing. Star Jones was never a favourite either. People obviously didn't take to Sherri Shepherd or Jenny McCarthy since their contracts weren't renewed.

I thought that casting the two Rosies would be a disaster, but I've been surprised to see that so far, this new group seems pretty respectful to each other. I too, prefer The Talk, as it usually always has something that really makes me laugh!

Super easy to turn it off or turn the channel when it comes on. I don't fit in with them at all.

I'm lukewarm about it. I liked Rosie O'Donnell a lot more back in the 90's when she had her own talk show....she's become very abrasive in recent years. We'll see what happens....if this new cast doesn't keep the ratings, there will probably be changes again next year.

I'll be another odd one out with pickyshopper because I watch The View and I'm a fan of Whoopi, and I think the new panel works.

Don't care for The Talk and a lot of that has to do with the audiences' over the top reactions to every darn thing. I do get a kick out of Sharon O.
