So, IMHO.
Many of the comments are harsh and not constructive. This will be my second writing for feedback since the show began. My comments are not personal, initially I wrote for Michael and Sarah to please bring content that is not a regurgitation of Good morning America. I believe they have made a concerted effort to do that.
I was never really a fan of Kelly Ripa until Michael came on board and I think they really brought out each other's strengths. I am not a Ryan Secrest person so I have never watched a full show of Kelly and Ryan.
Sarah was a knockout on The View. She gave strength to those who were on there, she brought enjoyment to the entire crew and audience, and the viewers. She was great.
S&S I do not feel the synergy.
I don't know what needs to change.
I do know the following (suggestions):
1) they need better writers,
2) they need individuals who can provide wardrobe assistance,
3) the audience needs to be more lively - they are not bringing the energy that's needed to really captivate the viewers,
4) the audience is too young, and they need to be older, more seasoned, and
5) spend some money, folks want freebies.
I tune in daily because I want to see them succeed. I don't want it to be deemed as a failure or Michael should stay with Good Morning America and Sara with the view. We all have different strengths we can pull from. I know this will be a successful venture. We need to give it a chance and we need to look at any necessary changes that need to be made and move forward.
If it helps, I really like the format, and the content, and the guests on Pickler and Ben. Also Ellen has great giveaways. You have plenty of sponsors with GMA, ABC, and Disney. Make It count, use your strengths, and make it count.
In closing, keep politics out of the show. The current administration does not need to be your pawn. While I don't support how things are moving along, I don't think it's going to benefit you to speak negativity. You are not SNL.
I hope this helps. See you soon. Robin A Jones.
