Oprah Winfrey ended her famous talk show Wednesday by telling her viewers of 25 years that they weren't saying goodbye. "I won't say goodbye, I'll just say until we meet again," Winfrey said. She hugged and kissed her longtime partner Stedman Graham and shook hands with audience members before walking through the halls of Harpo Studios in Chicago, hugging and crying with her staff. Winfrey shouted "We did it!" The last shot of the finale showed Winfrey walking away with her cocker spaniel, Sadie.

FINALLY. Wasn’t it at least two years ago that she made her initial announcement about leaving?

You might say she’s outgrown the small screen.

I’ll tell you this: I do not agree with much of what Oprah appears to believe, politically or culturally.
But tomorrow, if her entire life just fell apart, she’d probably pick herself up and begin all over again.
I admire that.
Her program, though my wife loves it, makes me want to run for the castor oil. Ugh.

Years too late. Now what kind of new crap are they going to replace her with? Please, no more talk shows with a bunch of women sitting around yapping.

Did she announce her lesbianism, as the tabloids claimed she would?

25 years ago, in 1986, in the middle of the Reagan years, a black actress started a daytime talk show and became a billionaire as a result.
Is that because white audiences are racist?
The fact that Oprah Winfrey had a show on TV for 25 years that consistantly was highly rated, highly awarded, and became a cultural touchstone is evidence that we already live in a post-racial America.

25 years of an hour long program on 5 days per week?
What percentage, is the 12 full seconds I’ve tuned in, of all those hours?
Still, way too much.
