Kimberly Williams

I am giving the show a 2 out of 5 because I enjoy listening to Ryan. He is professional and well polished. He is able to put a sentence together without it being all about him. I know it is a talk show, but Kelly Ripa, please, please, please, pretty please stop talking so much. Most of the time it seems as if you are confused and if you have forgotten your lines or your thought. I wonder if she is on medication or needs to be. Also, try being a little more respectful to your guests, stop interrupting them and give them an opportunity to finish a sentence. I am glad to see Ryan from time to time, interrupt her in order to move on with the show’s next segment or to allow a guest to finish talking. I try to watch the show, but will turn it off once she starts because it just becomes too annoying.

I had stopping watching "The View" for months because I felt like the hosts started acting like bickering hens, which only decreases the credibility of the show and the hosts on the show. When the show brought Whoopi on board as the discussion moderator, I started back watching it again, hoping for a positive change. The change was positive and I believe Whoopi, Joy, and Sunny brings a level of professionalism, experience and maturity to the show that made it worth watching. I appreciate the fact that the hosts have different views and ideas regarding politics, religion, personal accountability, legal matters and other current issues. However, I can no longer watch the show because the show is sinking back down into unprofessional, disrespectful and immature rabbit hole again. Watching the show yesterday and today made me decide to stop watching the show again. Watching Meghan McCain pulled her usual tactic of throwing a temper tantrum and interrupting Joy and Sunny as they gave their points of view and legal opinion on topics, was the breaking point for me. Whoopi, unfortunately, has become the referee and does her best to try to redirect Meghans shenanigans. I commend Joy and Sunny for taking the high ground and not addressing her behavior more directly (verbally and/or physically). However, ABC and the producers of this show should do something about her inappropriate and unprofessional behavior or they will begin to lose more viewers. The show is called "The View" and all of the hosts are entitled to express their viewpoint and I, as a viewer, would like to hear their viewpoint. The other person they hired, (Abby?) is just as bad. They should both be made to apologize publicly to Joy and Sunny. Their behavior shows a level of disrespect, unprofessionalism and cattiness that do not represent professional women in this country. For this reason, I cannot watch the show and will recommend boycotting the show to everyone I know, until ABC does something to change this "on-air" misrepresentation of women. Furthermore, I agree with a comment I saw earlier about bringing Ana Navarro on to the show to replace Meghan and this Abby person. At least she can present her ideas (even if they are different than others) in a respectful and professional manner that Republicans and non Republicans can appreciate.
