Happy Halloween from Watching the View!

Today on The View is the Halloween special. I will post the recap later tonight. In the meantime, feel free to comment on your thoughts in the comment section of this post.

The photo above is from The View Halloween special in 2003. Joy Behar is dressed as Joan Crawford and Barbara Walters is Marilyn Monroe. Joy said previously that Barbara drove everyone crazy with her Marilyn impression and her repeated singing of “Happy Birthday, Mr. President.”

    Cool pics! Can’t wait to watch the show, or listen to it @ work on my TV radio! Hppy Hllwn! ;}

    I enjoyed most of the show today. I always look forward to the costumes.Sherrie is much better “working the room” , than doing Hot Topics. So is Whoopie. Joy just goes with the flow.( meant as a complement to Joy )

    Did anyone else think the “psyhic” segment went a little short ? It seemed as though they had time on their hands, after the first “sighting”.

  3. Stacee Says:

    I thought the show was dull.
    I figured it would be a lot more lively, considering it was about Halloween, dress up and just having fun. I was disappointed.

    I know I’ve used the word ‘awkward’ before but it really seems apt! Whoopi’s costume was boring, the ‘Cotton Club’ theme was boring, pretty much everything was ho-hum. Even the audience reaction was down. The only part that I found interesting was John Edwards - who I thought was full of it before, but now I am very interested in reading all about him!

    Barb looked odd dancing (it looked like Ben was flinging her around or something).

    I did not watch faithfully before but what I recall from past year’s shows was how remarkable the costumes were. Does anyone else feel the same?

    This year was a letdown.

    Happy Halloween To Everyone! and have a good day.
    I didn’t get to watch the show, working a lot of mornings lately. Will look later for the recap.

    Watched the show by taping it today..pretty good. Wish Bawa would quit making everything about her and her dad’s past…should have spent more time with Tony Bennett singing great songs, not something I’ve never heard of before. Enjoyed Sherrie dancing with Ben Vereen…cute and she was good with showing costumes of the audience. Joy and Whoopie were cute in their get-ups. Halloween..gotta love it. Was at car dealership this a.m. and a salesman was dressed in prison uniform and giving benefits of new car. Told him didn’t think I could believe a guy from Levinworth!All in fun..happy halloween!

    stacee—-ditto

    dull dull dull

  7. rainlillie Says:

    I wonder if Bw reads the comments here on WTV? Because she said something to Sherri about always mentioning her breast.

  8. Viva Says:

    Stacee and Lisa - Agreed!
    So much so that I stopped watching after 5 minutes. Where I live I get The View a.m. and p.m. and I watch when I can. In the afternoon it is on opposite Martha Stewart so… I watched Rosie on Martha!! It was so good and she is sooo much fun. I miss her on daytime t.v. (sigh) I’m truly not a Rosie stalker - I just think she’s so freaking awesome!

  9. Viva Says:

    Happy Halloween everyone!

  10. Stacee Says:

    Happy Halloween everyone!!!!! :)

  11. Peaches Says:

    It’s literally five seconds before the stroke of midnight, so …

    Happy Halloween, Watching-The-View-ers!
