Barbara Walters ought to be ashamed of herself for foisting the absurdly overpaid and undereducated Sherri Shepherd upon her unsuspecting viewers. And here we always thought The View was intended to enlighten it's audience with the hosts' timely conversations about news events! We still can't figure out why Barbara bypassed intelligent and amusing Kathy Griffin and added Sherri to the show instead. A woman who doesn't believe in SCIENCE! Shepherd admits she doesn't believe in evolution, period. Surely this declaration is enough to drive away any viewer with over a fifth grade education. We only wish Kathy had been there when Sherri said it.

A quota black
Hummm I'm older than a 5th grader, oh I have a doctorate's, guess what? I don't believe in evolution? Science you say, aweful science actually. This is a firewall like abortion lady you have your nerve to assume everyone feels LIKE YOU and then make a disparaging remark about this Sherri Shepard and wanting KATHY Toilet mouth GRIFFIN. Yea you show your class.
Whoopi is such a stoner
this show pretty much sucks, it doesnt matter who you have in the seat. and really how IMPORTANT is it to know if the earth is round or flat, I would much rather know how to save money and invest it properly and trust me if the earth is round or flat is doesnt really matter. most of us know it's flat but how important is that to us in everyday situations.
I interview college grads with bachelor degrees all day long but most of them lack common sense. I am glad to see some employers arent that impressed by a degree now a days.
The View is boring and irrelevant. Sherri is an idiot and ElizaBitch well she's a moron and a typical Stepford-wife.
Every since Rosie left the show sucks. These woman are all puppets of Bill Geddes the Executive Producer. Funny how the show is for women by women yet they have a "VIEW MASTER" who is a man.
BaWa should have hired Kathy Griffin instead of this Star Jones in the making, at least Star had an education and wasn't ghetto like this loser.
Mark my words, This Sherri is trouble.
And Whoopi watch your back gurrrrl!
2:59, you have a "doctarate's" like I have a vagina. You can't even spell "awful," and your post is littered with grammar errors.
If you can't even accept scientific fact then I'm certainly not going to listen to anything else you have to say.
You're absolutely right, JC. I won't watch the show again -- decided it after the flat earth debacle. My time is too valuable to spend with twits.
Awesome Anonymous 4:04 poster.
I thought The View was a show for women who had thoughts and opinions. Duh! Bring back Rosie AND Trump. And please, send Elisabeth off to Pleasantville.
Why do people even care about this? Does anybody besides me have a day job? I've never seen the show and couldn't care less.
Please Janet - post some gossip - not your usual dissertation of nonsense.
So what do we have here? An intelligent, funny Alpha female (Whoopie), the Sassy but pretty average Postmenopausal white Grandma, The Stepford Wife and the Average American Sherri.
Where could Kathy have really fit in to this mix? I don't see it, sorry Janet.
Kathy Griffin would have been a perfect balance.
Sherri got befuddled when she was asked if the world was flat. SHE HAD NO F'ING IDEA.
Barbara, you screwed up. Surely you could have persuaded Geddes that this woman is a vegetable.
the comments by "Anonymous" at
3:06 are hilarious. She actually says:
"the earth is round or flat it doesnt really matter. most of us know it's flat but how important is that to us in everyday situations"
Uh, um,--the earth is flat???
And you say you interview employees ? Get your information straight, you flathead!
the show is crap, rosie was horrible, kathy griffin is beyond obnoxious and the rest are boring.
Who watches this dreck?
BaWa, Bill Geddes and the rest of the ladies should be thanking Rosie for their jobs this year because Rosie revived the show. The View wasn't even on the radar until Rosie came on-board.
ElizaBitch can't speak for herself as she has an ear piece, with Bill telling her what to say. Do you actually think this ill-informed reality TV Loser can think for herself? She ate a rat on Survivor and now is one.
Sherri already has an attitude just like Star Jones had. She comes off across like a "stereo-typical ghetto black girl from the hood" without a clue in the world except getting the COIN.
Whoopi is too good for that show.
Janet-I'm a med student and I don't believe in evolution-if we "evolved" from apes, why the hell haven't we KEPT evolving??
Huh?
"In the beginning.....God created the heavens and the earth..."
i'm loosing interest in this site.
p'z out.
The View no longer has any substance..
Babs obviously wants the ratings she had when Rosie was talking truth. Sorry, lady, it ain't gonna happen with ghetto-minded Jesus freaks talkin' smack about evolution and all things real.
911 was in inside job!
Bush knocked down the towers.
sherri is not the brightest bulb. and she's a reverse racist. blah blah blah about blacks. stfu
Of course Babs wants the ratings.. more rating more revenue they make in selling commercial slots.
Rosie was the only genuine person on The View ever, Meredith was good too. But she had the smarts to get out for greener pastors.
Sherri Shepard is dumb as a goat which is why she sits next to Elisabeth who is as smart as a $2 bill and runs her mouth like a bad case of diarrhea.
I wish someone would plug up that B!tch!
It's got no soul since Rosie's gone.
Who gives a rip what those no minds think...ceptin Whoopie a course.
Zig Zags or Rizzla's. Whoopie!!
the show is okay but i've seen alot better.
If God had intended that Sherri speak, he would have given her a brain.
Yes, she is INSUFFERABLY stupid, but you can understand the bind the producers were in, having to fill the casting void created by the abrupt departures of:
-The Angry, Politically-Incorrect Lesbian with Borderline Personality Disorder;
-The Black & Sassy Wisecracking Mammy Who Lost 270 Pounds and Promptly Forgot Her Place;
In order to round out the "views" of:
-The Aging, Megalomaniacal, Class-Obsessed Jewess Whose Credibility Evaporated Sometime in 1982;
-The Passive-Aggressive "Everywoman" Court Jester With Food/Marital/Hygiene Issues;
-The Made-For-TV "Reality Celebrity" Who—When She is not Shopping, Applying Makeup or Procreating—"Dabbles" in Fascism;
and
-The Eyebrow-Free, "Edgy" Comedienne Who Is Alone in Thinking That Conflating The Name "Bush" with Hairy Female Genitalia is Funny and Original.
So, um, yeah, Sherri is actually a pretty good fit.
Anon 7:29
It's "losing" NOT "loosing".
Jesus Christ, will some of you learn how to spell or at least use Spellcheck already!
The show has nose dived since Rosie's departure. Now it's like watch clucking hens talking about nothing of importance nor substance.
Sherri must be drinking too much "Sherry" because she is as dumb as a bagel if she thinks the world is flat. Ya right, just as flat as her chest!
Barbara is a an old senile goat who always loses her train of thought and is busy butt kissing Kathy Hilton and all her other Rich Homies.
Elizabeth is a complete donkey's behind. I wish she would ship out her husband to Iraq since she so strongly supports the war. She should go back to playing a rat eating realityWHORE.
Jeeezus. Is Barbara STILL alive?
This can only mean that she's planning to die live, on the air.
In which case the ratings will break all records.
At least Elizabeth has morals she gives birth to her babies she doesn't go to the nearest clinic to abort them.
Yes, Yes. And God knows how pleased the rest of us are that her kind are breeding.
10:35 - you rock!!
Sherri doesn't believe in evolution. Please let me know why this is so wrong?....seems you clearly forgotten, no one realizes how ignorant you are unless you speak...in this case STOP speaking!
I hate that garbage show. Joyce is irritating with her brainless rants and the entire show features shrill yentas sqwaking like a bunch of idiots. Rosie was a militant bull dyke and everyone I know can't stand her. The show is just crap and I wish them all poor ratings. Sure they all have "opinions" but most of their stupid theories are baseless and mindless and shrill.
DEATH TO THE VIEW! please. let's fill that spot with "Deal or No Deal" or "Flavor of Love" - where at least the show is exactly what it claims to be. Not a bunch of batty bores competing for air time by saying mindless and stupid, unsubstantiated opinions.
Abortion is not always bad... Had OJ's mother done her part Nicole may still be around.
I quit watching when they brought Rosie aboard. Talk about igorant--the crap she spouted had no basis whatsoever. Thought it was great when she left, but now they've got Whoopie (who made excuses for Michael Vick's dog fighting program) and Sherri, who makes the program sound like a tent revival show. They've lost me for good.
You've been living in Hollywood too long -- the rest of America is about morals -- none of which the people you (or obviously yourself) report about have. I won't be reading your post much longer if you keep bashing anything about God.

THE FACT THAT ELIZABETH IS STILL THERE SAYS IT ALL...YUKE...OVER...PLEASE...SOON...
I love when people call someone else ignorant, but spell it "igorant". CLASSIC!! I love Sherri Sheppard, btw.
"The World is Flat" is a BOOK. I just wanted to clarify that before you continue your discussion about *that* discussion.
And, well, Evolution is not for everyone...
Lot of people here who claim to be Ph.D.s and med students don't spell too well. Makes me wonder how much education they really have. Anyone can say anything on an anonymous board. I agree with you, Janet, about Sherry Shepherd. She is an embarrassment. I'm wondering where Barbara Walters was when she was being vetted. Oh, well, the View will be gone after this year because the ratings will plunge. Bill Gedde should be put out to pasture anyway.
Barbara Walters would love these posts because her whole point is to earn money by having people excited about The View. Whether people love it or hate it is immaterial as long as they watch it. She got rid of Rosie not for her views but because she was sowing strife with the other players, including Walters.
This has always been a dumb show including the Star Jones, Meredith Viera era.
I had stopped watching it but watched on the day Sherri Shepherd began because I enjoyed her on Everybody Loves Raymond.
The show remains idiotic. Only when the ratings fall away will it disolve into nothingness with its crone overseer.
Evolution is not faith based, like religion. Evolution exists, whether you understand it or not. Go forth and multiply sound familiar? Evolution is God's greatest gift to the world, and I can't imagine God is thrilled with those who deny it exists.
The male viewmaster hired the stupid Sherry so that the stupid Liz would have competition as the dumbest person on teevee.
Love you JC. You have the most original gossip site on the web, in my opinion.
9:01
Barbara never got rid of Rosie. They wanted Rosie on a multi year deal and Rosie turned them down. She walked away from The View.
GET YOUR FACT STRAIGHT!
Sherri is a low class uneducated in-bred from Butt Ville Alabama with a NYC black girl attitude. No wonder her man cheated on her with a tranny! Why doesn't she talk about that? Hmmmmmm.
Elisabeth belongs at home, barefoot and pregnant making chili dogs for lunch. She annoys just about everyone.
Barbra Walter needs to retire already. It's time to go old lady. And anyone notice that she has the same plastic surgeon as Judge Judy?
"The View Master" is a man. Go figure when the show claims it's show for women by women. He's like the man behind the curtain... The Wizard of OZ.
Sherri and Elisabeth should get their own show on Christian TV, now that's an idea.
Whoopi, is over-qualified for the job and doesn't fit in with the low IQ of the other women.
The show will never be the same without Rosie. I hope she gets her own show and blows The View out of the water.
I can't wait to read Celebrity Detox. We will find out what a real back stabbing B!tch Barbra really is.
Yes I heard on BET about Sherri Shepard's husband cheating on her with a tranny. He claims he didn't know the "girl" was really a man. Even though they were together for several months. I guess if I was Sherri I would be an angry woman too. I think her husband and gay AL (Star Jones husband) should get together.
I pre-ordered Rosie's book Celebrity Detox on Amazon. I want to know what really went down on The View. Barbra betrayed Rosie and EH is a piece of Christian garbage.
Sherri Shepard needs to shut up already. I'm sick of hearing EH and her BUSH loving, anti-abortion rants. Now this big girl from the ghetto Sherri is her partner in crime. they both are stupid and have no business being on TV. They are both clueless about the real world around them.
I will buy celebrity Detox too because Rosie didn't put with their BS. Barbra should be ashamed of herself she is a two faced old hag!
So if she believes in God, doesn't nasty gossip or pick fights and bully everyone.. she's not intelligent and amusing plus she is uneducated? Shame on you!
Dinosaurs in the bible..
The text from the Book of Job 40 (King James Version Bible) is as follows:
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
16 Lo now, his strength [is] in his loins, and his force [is] in the navel of his belly.
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his thighs are wrapped together.
18 His bones [are as] strong pieces of brass; his bones [are] like bars of iron.
19 He [is] the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach [unto him].
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him [with] their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, [and] hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
24 He taketh it with his eyes: [his] nose pierceth through snares.
I can't believe anybody watches this show. Who wants to listen to women argue all the time.
I think Sherri S is a great comedienne.
My dad says we have to attack and free Iran now.
Everyone on board okay otherwise your against us.
Sherri Shepard is an uneducated bitter woman who's husband cheated on her with a man. No wonder she is so anti-gay I guess it hits so close to home.
The show is a complete joke ever since Rosie left. I'd rather watch my dog take a dump, it's much more interesting.
Get rid of Elisabeth already !!
12:24 is your dads name Bill Geddes?
Because The View Master is a bush loving idiot. That's why EH and him get along so well. they are both bigots.
Sherri Shepard is just your typical loud-mouth with a chip on her shoulder. The woman took her husband back after he cheated on her with a man. How low can one go. Disgrace to every strong woman. She makes a fool of herself in more ways than one.
The View is the laughing stock of daytime TV, now that Rosie is gone. I'd rather watch Passions.
I wish Rosie would get her own show. Add my name to the list who have ordered her book Celebrity Detox.
Janet,
For the record, and speaking of uneducated, the correct way to spell 'its' in your fourth sentence is as follows:
to enlighten its audience (not "it's" audience, which means "it is audience")
This Sherri Shepard is a complete moron. I wish Barbra would get someone with an education. It's bad enough they have that other moron Elisabeth. I guess misery loves company. Barbra needs to start being honest because she has been caught in so many lies. I have no respect for her. The show is going to fail.
NOTHING could make elisabeth look like a genius. A dirty sock is more interesting and likeable than that idiot.
10:35, you owned that description!
10:39, I don't think I've laughed so hard in years...dumb as a bagel, omg
I'm sick of Sherri Shepard and it's only been a week. Elisabeth, I just ignore or mute her A$$ when she talks. Barbra has done a good job in bringing on board women who have a lower IQ than her.. much lower.
Whoopi and Joy are enjoyable to watch but those two idiotic dominoes SH and EH are completely brain dead.
Joy used to be funny, but now she's just mean. I read where Whoopie was taking Sherri clothes shopping--oh, yeah, that's who I'd go to for fashion advice. So tired of them talking all over each other, think I'll watch the grass grow instead.
HaHa Sherri's husband was caught with a tranny!! Guess Sherri doesn't have what it takes to keep a man. Poor thang.
The panel is boring. They made a HUGE mistake in letting Rosie get away. She brought new life to an old show that was on it's last breath.
BTW, Celebrity Detox is #1 on Canada's Online Bestsellers list.
WHO CARES ABOUT THESE WOMEN GET SOMETHING BETTER ON THIS SIGHT. HOW ABOUT LAUREN GRAHAM AND MATHEW PERRY.?????
Am I the only one that thinks Sherri is funny and simply entertaining with her commentary? Frankly, she appears to be genuine and down to earth. I like her! I miss Rosie, however, as she never held back. Whoopie needs to open up; shake the show up a bit instead of playing it close to the vest.
Whoopie and Joy just stare speechless at Sherry and Elisabitch as they both talk stilly little sh*t.
Too bad Kathy was not added to the panel. That show would have rocked. Now it's worse than it ever has been.
Janet, do you have a problem with black women on television? You also always make fun of other's religion. I vow to expand your mind with a good little lawsuit. I'll be watching your blog.
God love her for her longevity, but Barbara is THE textbook example of staying way too long past one's prime.
Anybody else remember when the brilliant Peter Jennings told her to shut up on the air?
It was during the OJ "slow-speed chase" and ABC had stupidly sandwiched Jennings between the two biggest morons in the business: Barbara Walters and Hugh Downs.
Jennings was an elegant, highly-intelligent gentleman, but even he eventually had had enough of Barbara's inane blathering. His exact words were, "Be quiet, Barbara."
Good times!
You got the feeling Jennings' words would have been somewhat "stronger" (was "STFU" in common usage then?), if they hadn't been said live, on the air. I know I wasn't the only one applauding my television that night.
Fast-forward more than a decade: Peter Jennings is dead and Barbara is STILL spouting her bullshit on ABC. You wonder how it is that any person could be so relentlessly insipid and full of herself.
And then you realize she's had about 60 years of daily practice.
We get it, Barbara. You love nothing more than the sound of your own voice, the smell of your own dusty flatulence. Now how can we help speed your entry into a comfortable retirement?
Gloria, sit down you publicity tramp.
It's called FREE speech. Something that we are losing daily thanks to GWB & money hungry, publicity seeking lawyers.
I don't know where you are getting the idea that Janet doesn't like black people.. wake up you bag of bones 90% of the stories are about white people!
Honey, go back to cooking your pig foot and watching B.E.T. Leave the gossip to professionals.
And Sherri Shepard is a ghetto bafoon!
3:42 Great Post! I wish it was on YouTube.
I can't stand BW any longer. I have no respect for her. She is a liar plain and simple. She screwed over Debbie, Lisa, Star and now Rosie. But Rosie got the last laugh. I hope celebrity Detox exposes Barbra for the FAKE that she is!
Oh and I can't stand Sherri or ElisaBitch.
For all you who hate the view and these women ya'll sure do know everything that goes on with it. 'I won't watch any more' or 'I hate them'. But you all continue to watch, Shut up already.
"Kathy Griffin would have been a perfect balance.
Yeah ANOTHER over the hill
liberal who is NOT FUNNY..
thankfully she she is not a host!!
Oh Jan go back to baking cookies and attending your PTA meetings. No one asked for your 2 cents!
Have you confessed to your hubby about that baby you aborted? I didn't think so SNOW WHITE.
JAN you should tune into FOX NEWS if you want to hear Republican crap 24/7. Wake up you tree stump.
Sherri makes Pee Wee Herman and Boy George look like genius's...The only reason she is on there is for TOKEN sake,,,we need a black or 2 where Jesse won't protest and a token lesbian and a Jew and we were trying to find a nice slant eye but Connie Chung and Babs don't get along!
She doesn't believe in evolution probably because she believes in God..Not everyone's an athiest Janet..
The View is lousy without Rosie. She brought a lot of interesting ideas to the table. The only thing Sheri can talk about is the size of her breasts. If they'd been smart, they've have hired Kathy Griffin. I'll never watch the show again. Elisabeth alone was bad enough, but having two brainless hosts is too much.
I agree The View is horrible without Rosie. I can't stand to watch EH go unchallenged with her crazy BUSH talk. And Sherri is a complete JackASS with her world is flat comment. Did she finish school? Just asking...
Maybe Sherri meant her butt is flat. Can this ho stop talking about her breasts? Can Elisabeth shut her trap about GWB. Can Barbra just retire already. And Bill Geddes wants to be a star but looks like my cats behind.
Sherri didn't even finish high school. Did Barbra not check her out before they hired her?
And any woman who would take their man back after having sex with a tranny is a LOSER.
B!tch you don't know me. So what if I didn't finish high school? I know how to shoplift all my D&G and that's all that matters. Ya, so my man tasted man AS$ so what? Like you all have never tasted man AS$, don't lie you heffa's. B!tch please your just jealous cause my tatas are bigger than yours.
And yes the world if flat, now what?
BRING IT!!!
If Barbara Walters would have hired Kathy Griffin, I would have never watched that show again! I cannot stand her humor and the way she makes fun of everyone. I think she should look in the mirror! Plus, her voice is grating. From what I have seen, Barbara made the correct choices with Whoopi and Sherri.
Thank God Rosie is gone. If The View (Barbara/Bill) had really wanted to keep her, they would have ponied up the money Rosie was asking for. SSoooooooooo glad she's gone. She's a nut job!
The View is boring. I loved Rosie - didn't always agree but at least she was interesting - EH is embarrasing. Sherri - I don't get her. Whoopi - is holding back. Joy - wants a job.
Are you an aethiest, Janet? There are a lot of intelligent people who do NOT believe in evolution. I think it's very sad that people hate Elizabeth and now Sherri because they are young woman with morals.
No people can't stand EH & SS because they are morons and ill-informed jezebel's just like you 9:57AM.
