The View

I record The View every day and for the most part really enjoy the show. Josh refers to it as my "lady news". I like to hear the discussions in their Hot Topics segment. The guest interviews feel ridiculous with the hosts each reading their question off of a card. Through the entire election process and even back before then when Rosie was moderating, I thought the conversations were, for me, informative. Sometimes I even agree with Elizabeth Hasslebeck, albeit not often.

Last night Josh was out to dinner with some co-workers and I had the couch to myself. I sat down with a bowl of soup and began watching that mornings show. I have noticed on numerous occasions that their "guests" often complain about or at least comment on the seating area. Things like how hard it is... or it's teetering on the back edge of a riser and their afraid it's going to fall. Well I would like to add that it could be built for an adult instead of someone who's 5'3".

Sigourney Weaver was their guest yesterday. She stands about 5'11" tall. I'm guessing that is without heels. Well yesterday she had the hardest time feeling comfortable on that make-shift sofa. She fidgeted from the moment she sat down. I felt so bad for her. Within' the first 15 seconds of her segment I had seen The View that I posted above. This is no way to treat a guest on your program. I felt a little bad about posting the picture but Sigourney should also know to wear a longer skirt, and some panties wouldn't hurt. People of The View, buy a new couch!!

On another note, I realize (as does everyone else I think) that The View is Barbara Walter's pet project. It's her show and she kind of "rules the roost" if you will. I'm fine with that. I like Barbara and what she has done with her career is truly remarkable and she deserves the utmost respect. That said, could someone get her to stop using her program as a 1 hour infomercial for her latest special or her book or whatever other gig she may have on the side. Commercial advertising was created to handle that sort of thing. Her self-promotion is embarrassing.
