I felt it was irresponsible of Whoopi to use her status & debut to plug the viewers with her “explanation” of Vick’s actions. It was not based in fact & was simply, mindless, ratings psycho-babble on Whoopi’s part. I cannot understand her “view” because it was off the mark & not even factual.

At the beginning of the electric age Thomas Edison electrocuted cats, while trying to prove the dangers of AC electricity. He had placed his money on DC electricity. How about the cruelty that leads to fur coats? Who has gone to jail over fur coats? Every day chickens have their neck rung. M. Vick should not go to jail.

I think it’s sad they did not pick Sherry. She was on a couple of the entertainment shows saying she wanted the job and they just tossed her aside. HOW SAD!!!

On 1 Aug 2007, Lauren Sindone wrote: I loved Rosie on the show, she gave the show some zip and so many funny moments. I like Whoopi, but find she is kind of boring as a moderator on the show. I think they could have searched and found someone better. I do agree with whoever said Elizabeth needs to go. She talks way too much athough she has nothing of value to contribute. They should swap her out and try Bonnie Hunt, who is very funny.

On 1 Aug 2007, Jane wrote: Go GIRL Whoopie, I know that Whoopi will do a fantastic show, and I hope she remains anti-republican as she did in her own show. She is Whoopi and does not have to fir into Rosie’s shoe. But beware WHOPPIE, watch out for barbara walters and Elizabeth H., because one never knows when they will kick you in the back as they have already to Star Jones and Rosie. I wonder if Barbara can really handle controversy. She is too fake, and Elizabeth has to go. Time to change her as she is not contributing anything for the show. She is complete wash off! I don’t know why she is even there.

I think Whoopi is strong, classy and will respectfully state her opinions and respect others. I was VERY pleased to find out she was picked and look forward to watching the show again. Just be yourself Whoopi!

I loved watching The View until Rosie came on the show. Im so glad she is gone- I can watch my show again! I couldnt believe that someone like Barbara Walters would even bring someone like Rosie on that show! It lowered the classiness of that show when Rosie came on. Im so glad that Whoppie is on there.. Ive never been fond of having an african american on there because of thier attitudes (ie. Sherri Sheppard, Monique, Star Jones) Whopie doesnt have that “bad attitude” and I welcome her.. Shes gonna be great!

On 1 Aug 2007, Kelly wrote: I think Whoopi is an awful choice! She is just as bad as Rosie. I can’t believe Barbara Walters and ABC would choose her when the few times she was on and conducted the hot topics she was HORRIBLE!! I was very disappointed they didn’t announce a second co-host. I was expecting 2 people to be announced today, but now that Whoopi has been chosen it doesn’t matter because I will no longer watch once she joins in the fall. I used to watch The View everyday until Rosie came on and then stopped for several months until Rosie left.
