The Talk

Julie Chen leads off each discussion with embarrassingly shallow and juvenile questions, as though she is targeting the uneducated and the best of mediocre Junior High students. Other than this the discussions do have merits.

Curiosity is why I tune in, self-dignity is why I turn it off. If well begun is half done, poorly begun is why I run, screaming for my life back.

As an Executive Producer, I am surprised that Sarah Gilbert puts up with this. She seems very intelligent and one would think she would also be cringing in her seat listening to such childish dribble.

I watch the Talk almost everyday, but I have to say I'm disappointed in all the talk of race. On the show on 2/16/2012 they brought up commercials with Beyonce and Jennifer Lopes in them and took the commercial out of context to make it a race issue. They mentioned that on the commercial Beyonce is African American, American Indian and French, and Jennifer Lopez was Porto Rican. The commercial was about make up, and how it would cover any skin type. This is not a racial issue. They asked the stars what nationality they were and they told them. It was information only. The stars, I'm sure, wouldn't have done the commercial if they thought it was racial. If Jennifer Lopez wants to say she is Porto Rican, then she can say that. Who are you to dispute this? You group of woman made this commercial racist. Very few people would look at this commercial and think it was racial. They are trying to promote a product that works for all skin tone. So is saying skin tone racist too? It's programs like yours and the media that make everything a racial issue. I will not be watching The Talk again!

I've been watching the talk show since Julie was the host. I really enjoyed the show then. Now the show is way too political & I am so tired of Mrs O & the boring co hosts. I'm no longer interested in tuning in to this show.

After the recent activity that went on, I honestly believe the show SHOULD BE CANCELLED! In my opinion, it is getting to be more and more like "The View" with the b****ing, moaning, and the hateful name-calling! It is getting to be unwatchable and not very family-friendly!

I used to enjoy the Talk because they stayed out of partisan politics for the most part, but with the addition of new liberal "journalist" host Elaine Welteroth, the entire cast has all now gone full liberal, and the show is unwatchtable, as The View is, and has been for a long time. Was a fan, but will not watch ever again.
