The View July 31st Recap

Opinion by princessfelicia posted 1 year ago

5.0	by 1 fan

Again today it was just the four hosts, with Barbara Walters absent. The first topic was how humid it is in NYC. Sherri Shepherd said that NYC is the only place where with the humidity you wake up wet. Whoopi said, “If you are lucky.”

Then Whoopi said that that they received a letter from a spokesperson from the Barack Obama campaign that the allegation that Obama allowed his prayer to be published was completely false. They didn’t discuss it and left it at that.

There is a new McCain ad about how Obama is a celebrity, which features Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. Whoopi thinks is it a little bit offensive because Paris Hilton has been in jail and the drunk tank and Britney had some mental illness. She said if he wants to compare him to a big celebrity, they should have chosen Will Smith or George Clooney. Elisabeth thinks the ad is successful because we are talking about it. Elisabeth said you learn from it that Obama will increase taxes. She added that Obama was on Access Hollywood. Whoopi said that is not the point. Elisabeth said to let her finish. She said he is on People Magazine next to Lindsay Lohan.

Rosie O'Donnel and Elisabeth Hasselbeck's heated fight on The View

It's always Rosie O'Donnell versus Elisabeth Hasselbeck when it comes to political discussions – but on The View Wednesday morning, the debate turned personal when O'Donnell called her cohost "cowardly" for not defending O'Donnell's position on the troops in Iraq.

The source of the blowup? A discussion last week in which Hasselbeck and O'Donnell debated the meaning of the word "terrorist." O'Donnell asked, "655,000 Iraqi civilians are dead. Who are the terrorists?" On Wednesday, O'Donnell accused Hasselbeck of not defending her when media outlets, including, O'Donnell said, FOX News, claimed she'd called U.S. troops terrorists.

"You are my friend since September," O'Donnell told Hasselbeck. "Do you believe that I think our troops are terrorists? And you would not even look me in the face, Elisabeth, and say, 'No, Rosie.' "

Answered Hasselbeck: "You are an adult, and I'm not going to be the person for you to explain your thoughts. ... Defend your own insinuations."

The History of The View

Opinion by princessfelicia posted 1 year ago

5.0	by 1 fan

The View premiered 11 August 1997 replacing Caryl & Marilyn: Real Friends. The original set was a leftover set from a cancelled soap opera, The City; so ABC didn't introduce a new set for The View until its fifth season.

A New York Times review published ten days after the show premiered, and it described what critic Caryn James thought was distinctive about the show.

..................................................................................................

The idea of women talking to one another on daytime television is not exactly radical. The idea that those women should be smart and accomplished is still odd enough to make The View seem wildly different. It actively defies the bubbleheads-'R'-us approach to women's talk shows....
