Rosie's "View" Review: Too Bad It's Beige

Click to return to TMZ.comRosie O'Donnell and her two JaHeRo video blog pals, Janette Barber and Helene Macaulay (who worked with Rosie on "The View"), dished the show's debut episode. What did the trio think? "It was very beige," said Macaulay, adding, "I meant that metaphorically, as well."

"Nah, it was all right. It was good," said O'Donnell, who had high praise for her replacement, Whoopi Goldberg. "Whoopi was good. It was okay." O'Donnell took issue with the bland set design. "Why did they change the set back to beige? That was an error in judgment."

JaHeRo answered dozens of fan questions. Asked whether she felt sad while watching "The View," Rosie said, "No I wasn't sad. I thought It was interesting to watch. I was sad that the set was beige. Truthfully, it's just wrong."

16. I like Whoppi, but as long as Elisabeth is on the View, I won't be viewing it.

17. Who cares what Rosie thinks about the view?! She really is a big loser. Is that all she has to do is sit around and criticize?! Meredith really was the best one on the show but now that Rosie is gone I will watch it again. Whoopi is very smart and funny without being nasty or rude or too opinionated.

You are absolutely one "fantastical" person!!! Keep up the good work you do with your numerous charities. I wish more people were like YOU!

20. Someone asked what have you learned from each other. Rosie sits there waiting for them to praise her. After they finish saying how great she is Rosie moves on to another question. She never says a word about what she has learned from them. She is so full of herself, how can anyone stand to be around her.

21. Whoppi is already on the hot seat on DAY ONE with the Michael Vick comments.

Unless you walk in Whoppi, or Rosie's shoes, you have no idea how careful you have to be with what you say. Can you imagine if a camera was on all the people that post nasty things about others. They would be hiding as fast as they possibly could.

22. Why is the media still giving her the time of day? Seriously, who cares what this woman thinks? It's so bizarre that the media still writes about her.

23. NOPE the fat train wreck that was Star Jones was fired. Rosie walked away all on her own accord. Whoopi wont last long either. I bet teh View has one year left in em if that.

25. The only one more annoying than her is ELISABETH HASSELBECK! She is the dumbest, most annoying person ever! Get rid of her. Better yet, get rid of the whole unwatchable show..... no one cares who is on it because the show is SO BAD no matter who is on....

Walters? i quess she is to old to ask the tough questions. thats what is wrong with the USA. everyone would rather be P.C., than correct.

27. ROSIE'S BLOG IS MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING THAN THE VIEW NOW.

28. It's become a very tedious show to watch since Rosie left. The show will be cancelled in a year.

29. Rosie was awesome! Barbara needs to go. Too old to understand what is going on. Bill purposly set Rosie up all the time to fall. It made ratings.

30. Rosie tried to apply for jobs, but all turn her down because she's a loser.
Now sit around the house w/loser friend and watch the View, hahaha what's the looser.
