ABC's "The View"

[TotallyEffed]

I don’t dislike Sarah, but I won’t miss her. I find she contributes very little to the show.

[ljay889]

I think Sara is a lovely and pleasant woman, but definitely doesn't bring the fireworks like the rest of the panel. I think the only contentious moment I've seen her in was Meghan yelling at her the other week, lol! Ana and/or Tara will be wonderful replacements. The constant changing of the panel is quite annoying, though. This would never have happened under Barbara.

^Barbara left The View in 2014, and by then it was a revolving door already.

[ljay889]

She only did guest appearances on the Whoopi, Rosie x2, and Nicole season. After that season is when the revolving door really got crazy. 

[ArtMan]

I used to love when I visited, to attend a taping.  The guests, for the most part, were at least B list and they gave away some amazing prizes (at least for the tapings I attended) for the audience.  Over the years, the guests are not that great, the vibe during the taping is not fun and the prizes (mostly digital downloads) crappy.  The last couple of tapings I attended, were boring and there is no in the audience interactions from the ladies, like in years past.  Add crappy giveaways and I have become uninterested.  As far as this Whoopi and Jeanine Peirro incident, I feel Whoopi and the rest are in the wrong.  Granted I only watched a view seconds of the segment.  Peirro has been a guest many times in the past.  They knew what she was about.  Since she was selling a book, she would be Peirro on steroids to push sales.  They knew she was going to state opinions that the majority would not agree with.  And again she was a guest.  It was like when Whoopi and Joy stormed off the set with the opinions of Bill O Reilly.  Maybe at that time Whoopi didn't have a say so with booked guests, because Barbara was still Grand Dame of The View.  Barbara, if I remember correctly, was both embarrassed and angry when they walked off set.....because he was a guest.  Now, Whoopi is Grand Dame and you can't tell me that she doesn't have 100% say so on booked guests.  The realist/cynic in me really thinks this "fight" was for ratings, water cooler talks and book sales for Peirro.

I like Sarah, Ill miss her, but she contributes nothing. Life tip though: don't like tweets announcing you're leaving before your network even announces it.

I PRAY that it's not Ana or Tara to be honest. 

With that being said, I attend tapings periodically and they always seem fun. And booking of guest? I feel like they're snagging big names both entertainers and politicians. Just me?

[ArtMan]

ucrdude902, Don't you have a friend that is a producer? If so, I would think, you don't have to get up early, stand in line outside for hours, then sit inside for over an hour and then receive a less than desirable seat. If so, your experiences at tapings is not comparable to the average person who attends.  If I am incorrect, I apologize in advance.

[ucjrdude902]

Oh no, I don't disagree with that. I meant as someone who just enjoys the production of it all, they seem fun to me to experience. No disrespect intended.

Sarah's announcement. The show will likely take their summer hiatus starting on the week of Aug. 13(it's typically been for 4 weeks) and return on Sept. 10. A short time frame to find her replacement.

Another Fox News'er could be taking the vacant spot.

Next Co-host?

[ucjrdude902]

I've never understood the pettiness of reporters/articles when it comes to talking about The View changing co-hosts? Is that's the point? Evolving views, evolving hosts?

 

Anyways, I'd take Abby over Ana all day everyday. 

[ACL2006]

It doesn't sound like they plan to replace Paula. They could just keep Ana on standby and have her as the unofficial 6th host.

[ljay889]

On Watch what happens live tonight, Meghan confirmed that she will be retuning next season.

She also doesn't seem to fond of Ana Navavrro. I'm sure she's hoping someone else gets picked as the new cohosts.

 

Also, this week is the last week of the season. Sarah's farewell party is on Thursday. They usually take a four week hiatus and the next season should start on September 4.

 

[ucjrdude902]

Meghann desperately wants Abby. I also know they plan to test run people during the hiatus much like they've done in the past. 

[Auggie27]

They've all driven me crazy at times, but the one I will never miss is Paula. Her contrarian, arch devil's advocacy wore thin very early. She self-presents as Andrea Mitchell, this field-tested journalist with great 4th estate cred. She's a lightweight who tosses Foxian talking points to have a position, and often sounds out of her depth. She cannot sustain a developed argument -- the dialectic's need of developing a counter argument is beyond her -- and so she's just been a crank-out-the bite spox for any position other than the one stated by Joy or Whoopi. As angry as others make me, they do their job.  Faris has been a cipher. I don't know how she lasted. 

[ACL2006]

just watched Friday's show. It's very clear Ana & Meghan don't like each other. I'm guessing the show will be back on Sept. 4.

Meghan had such a rotten attitude on Friday.

Apparently Fox News-er Abby Huntsman (I have no idea who that is!) is the new co-host.

[ucjrdude902]

I like Abby and I think it's about time the table be closed balance if they're going to stick to being political 90% of the time. But you know what the see in Abby? Same thing they saw in Meghann, a direct line to DC.

Guarantee her Dad makes an appearance within her first 90 days. 

[adamgreer]

Meghan McCain is an obnoxious little thing.

[ACL2006]

Ally's a better choice than Ana. Ana can just be the unofficial "6th host" and fill in for Whoopi on Fridays and whenever some needs off or is sick.

Abby Huntsman Leaving Fox News to Join The View

[ucjrdude902]

As of now, Meghann will be in attendance when the show premieres its new season. On her own accord none the less.
