The Chew

I will confess, I have watched All My Children before (but I wasn't a long time viewer or anything- I just appreciate the genre and think highly of it, despite the cultural stigma); I'd watch the soaps when I was home, sick from school, or on holiday. Frankly, my review of 'The Chew' doesn't really have much to do with the soaps, except to say that it is an utter shame that something so preciously multi-generational and meaningful in TV history- not to mention to countless fans- was replaced by something so insulting. I just feel insulted by 'The Chew'.

I don't understand how this show could ever captivate people? It certainly didn't captivate me. I watched the first episode with an open mind; it was fake and contrived and boring, to be honest. I can't imagine 'The Chew' ever lasting more than a year or two. I watched it a total of 3 times (and that was quite a task, not turning it off!), and I feel like I have seen enough for a lifetime. The premise of this show is meaningless and the show itself is lifeless. There are countless food channels, which I turn on occasionally, but these hosts are not 'stars' nor are they authority figures of any sort. This show is not an art form either. It's plain meaningless and hard to watch. Maybe this show is a way of passing the time by while saving money, but it certainly does not help me- as a viewer- 'pass the time by' nor does it entertain or inform. Don't waste your time; I already wasted too much of my own time giving 'The Chew' a chance.

My day revolves around watching the chew. I retired in 2017 and was exited I could watch it more. I cannot tell you how many recipes I have made from this show. Michael,Carla and Clinton have such a good rappor and are so genuine. If they don't like a recipe they'll tell you. It's hilarious. I've learned so many things as well. I'm so darn pissed they keep the same crappy shows and are getting rid of this one. I watch very little of ABC and it's getting to where I could do without it all together.

I can't understand why so many negative reviews of The Chew! I really like this show! All of the cooks seem very friendly, and it seems they're just having a good time doing what they're doing - cooking and entertaining. I suppose another reason I like this show is the hosts just seem so normal. I don't think any of them are celebrity chefs. They're just people sharing their passion for delicious food.

I must admit, I haven't tried making very many of recipes on The Chew, but many of them do look simple and delicious.

This show adds variety to the typical cooking show, with silly games for the audience members, and having guest cooks.

The Chew is very watchable day time programming and a good way to pass time.

Okay, I'm not a soap watcher and couldn't care less that one has been cancelled. It probably is unfortunate that The Chew replaced a soap, time slot-wise. If you're expecting a soap, The Chew is not going to make you happy. However, if you LOVE Clinton Kelly and enjoy watching cooking shows, then this show is awesome! The fun interaction between the 5 hosts and the range of cooking, decorating, and health tips really make this an enjoyable show to watch when I have the time. The hosts have a great time together and present a nice range of ideas and opinions. I personally find this format to be much more rewarding than a single-host tip/cooking show. The only reason I can see for all the poor ratings is that people are upset about losing the soap opera that used to be in this time slot.

I just have say that I never laughed so hard when Michael was talking about serving coffee. You see I have worked at a Tim Horton's coffee shop here in Canada for 12 years. I could have told you that you would have to deal with the most pickiest people in the world. If you do not listen and do a person's coffee to THEIR specifications you will here about it.

Thanks for the laugh. Thanks for your show my Mom and I really enjoy it.
