I wonder what sort of people watch daytime TV these days, particularly with this sort of garbage being on? Probably that good bit different from when I was a kid, with the game shows, Mike Douglas, Dinah Shore, and the soaps. And even Donahue episodes from that time were probably that very tame and thoughtful fare compared to that cesspool featuring Behar and Goldberg.
You mentioned the soaps; I admit to some schadenfreude when Les Moonves was canned at CBS for sexual harassment.
His wife, Julie Chen, persuaded him to cancel “As The World Turns” and “Guiding Light” because she wanted her own talk show similar to “The View”. She got her wish with her show “The Talk”, which includes the vile leftist Sara Gilbert as one of the panelists.
At the time of its cancellation, “Guiding Light” was the oldest TV show in US history. It originally aired on the radio before the advent of Television. “As The World Turns” was the second oldest.
CBS cancelled two venerable soaps just because Moonves’ wife just had to have her own show featuring ignorant cackling hens.
I do. But none of the alphabutt networks. Night Court, Boston Legal, F1, Indycar, NHRA, NUTSCAR, Modern Marvels, Alaska the Last Frontier, History Channel, movies that I approve for Our 2 year old Grandson (Penguins of Madagascar, Ice Age, Etc.), Dogfights, Nat. Geo.(some stuff)
