Things we probably won’t see on The View this year
As a new year is set to begin for The View on Monday, I was thinking about what this year will hold for the show. Will it be more of the same? Will they try to spice things up? Although I don’t know what they have in store for us, I am pretty sure that we won’t be seeing any of the following this year on The View:
1. Whoopi Goldberg this happy during an interview segment:
Runners up: Whoopi looking completely awake for an entire episode. Whoopi going an entire week without looking at Sherri Shepherd in shock and disbelief.
2. Barbara Walters encouraging discussion about the war in Iraq or serious other world issues.
Runners up: Barbara going a whole week without self-promotion. Barbara going a whole day without talking about her famous friends.
3. Elisabeth Hasselbeck vocalizing support for a democratic candidate.
Runners up: Elisabeth going a whole segment without mentioning the new baby. Elisabeth changing her position on the Iraq war.
4. Sherri Shepherd failing to mention her breasts.
Runners up: Sherri going a whole week without saying something shocking. Sherri changing her stance on evolution.
5. Joy Behar admitting that the other hosts annoy her.
Runners up: Joy announcing that she is going to marry Steve. Joy telling off Barbara.
And a special bonus:
Rosie O’Donnell returning for a visit.
What do you all think? What are some other things that we won’t be seeing this year?

Hello everyone..
I have been reading this blog for a few months now, the recaps are great. I post on the AOL View message board, do any of you ever read there? I would like to join in on the posts here too.

Although I can’t watch the program anymore because I find it painful, I am enjoying your blog! I love to read your recaps, the comments, and enjoy the dialog between your readers. And I keep voting!!!

Wow, didn’t really know about an AOL view message board, I’ll check it out. Hi Everybody!
January 3rd, 2008 at 12:55 pm
That is so funny because Whoopi really does some disinterested during the interviews.
January 3rd, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Good Luck Winnie!!
I like your post, it is pretty good, and humorous. When you can mix humor with truth, that makes it all the more ..?..well it’s more.
I want to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. May this year be a happy and healthy one for all.

Good job Winnie! I agree with Kate I think you’d be great at writing a humor blog. Good luck! I’ll post the link on my blog. I hope everyone remembers to vote.

I think a cage match featuring current and former hosts would be a ratings blockbuster!

Maybe a runners-up caption to the Rosie one: Rosie and Elisabeth launching their own two-woman talk show.
