My mother, before she passed away, was an ardent watcher of the View. She would cancel doctor appointments, you name so she could be home to watch the View. That said, the View is so cringeworthy that it literally makes my skin crawl.
The View used to be different in the beginning days. I watched it back then. Then it got political and then it became a hate fest super political mess. I don’t watch anymore. Crazy show.
