Rosie's View

Until last week, I'd never made it through an entire episode of The View. The cross-talk chaos of loud-mouth women talking over one another, the inane guests, and Star Jones made the show unwatchable. But being an avowed fan of The Rosie Show and having seen her recent HBO special I just had to see what Rosie would bring to The View.

I dutifully set my ReplayTV up to capture the show daily and I must say, I like it. Rosie is real. She's not polished. She says things most TV people wouldn't. And dang-it, she's just damn funny. OK, so I still fast-forward through many of the guest segments preferring the chit-chat sessions.

I'm glad Rosie is back and it is truly a testament to her strength that she hasn't strangled Elizabeth yet. I noticed yesterday they moved Elizabeth closer to Rosie... putting her dangerously within arm's reach. Stay strong Rosie. Elizabeth just mimics the Republican party line but you can tell there isn't an ounce of understanding to what she says.

Like yesterday when the crew were discussing Brad Pitt's recent statement that he and Angelina won't get married until everyone in the US who wants to get married can get married. Elizabeth's puzzled retort that "Everyone who wants to CAN get married. They just have to marry someone of the opposite sex." If that isn't truly one of the stupidest things I've heard in a long time then I don't know what is. How could you so proudly invalidate the loving relationships of millions of gay people and miss the entire point of one of the greatest moral questions of our time?

Well, you had me all fired up to start Tivo-ing the show, because I love Rosie too... until you mentioned the garbage espoused by this "Elizabeth". That would drive me crazy... so I probably will pass. I may try an episode or two to see how I do...

I agree with your other fan [ :-)]... I'm glad to see you back posting, though I may not always be able to keep up in a timely fashion, as evidenced by these comments.
