This is hard for me to admit. It really is. I’ve been watching The View. I started watching it because of Rosie O’Donnell. I’d rather lick a brick building twice in one night than watch Star Jones-Reynolds last year, so this is my first year watching it.
And seriously? I love it. Yes, there are episodes like today’s where Susan Lucci is guest-hosting and the guests are Rod Stewart and Joan Rivers, so I really couldn’t care less about the interviews. But I love with Elizabeth Hasselback tries to defend the current administration or obviously push her ultra-Conservative views onto someone, and then she gets every word she says shoved back into her through by either Rosie or Joy Behar.
There’s just something about Rosie that I love. Her blog. Her pictures. Her old talk show. Her awesome guest appearance on Nip/Tuck. And even now as she modereates this talk show that’s probably aimed at either stay-at-home soccer moms or freshly-retired school teacher that are looking to fill their day.
So, yes. I love The View.
And, on a different topic, do you know what I really hate about just cooking for one person? Only having one person to remember how long to set the timer for the frozen taquitos.
i’m totally into The View now, too. i love Rosie.
In a similar way, I have trouble coming to terms with the fact that I’m really into “Apartment 3-G” in the funny papers. If you’d’a told me back in my Bloom County and Far Side days that in the future I would develop sardonic fascinations with “Mary Worth” and “Apartment 3-G”, I’d’a asked you to shoot me right between the eyes.
Amen. On both counts.
Seriously, Rosie is fucking awesome. I’ve gone back to taping The View every day.
