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."

106. People are so mean on here. Why does It have to get so ugly Rosie was the best thing that happened to the View and the only reason people are so judgemental about Rosie is because how awful the media has been to Rosie. Rosie can not say anything without getting judged or misinterpeted. The media sucks and has no respect for anyone. Also If that was Rosie that kinda defended Micheal Vick the media would have crucified her and It would have been on all the talk shows and news shows all day, The media is pathetic they love to bring people down and don't care how they did It. That is why Rosie left the View The media was so hateful and personally attacked her every day. Its ok to disagree with her but to personally attack her is just cruel!!!! an so are the people on here ,very Cruel!!!!!!

107. Why is this show still on? Who care about their view anyway, I have a brain and I can think on my own without those cackling hens. No one watches this unless they don't have anything else to do.

108. used to love The View.........also used to love Rosie's old show

once she was on The View, bit by bit she became more of who she really was, and unfortunaltey for me, when her comments became more militant and polarizing, I started to enjoy the show less.

maybe it was because at 11 a.m. when the show airs in my city, I really wasn't looking for that type of "debating" whether I agreed with her opinions or not.

a lighter approach to entertainment and discussion suited me better at that hour.

and one thing Rosie seemed to forget---that the US is about half liberal and half conservative, so at any given time when she would go on a rant and be debating , they both would be offending and alienating half of the viewers of the show-possibly not the best for the long term.

hopefully The View will find a great new balance again for the viewers so that I will really look forward to the show again - the Hot Topics segment now takes up half the show-I wish it was only a quarter of the show since there are so many other things I'd like to see and hear about.

and hopefully Rosie will find the right showcase for the type of program that would suit her better--and at the right hour of the day when I'd be more inclined to check it out -for me that would be a bit later in the day or evening.

good luck to all

113. The set looked ridiculous with Rosie's design ideas. Very depressing.

114. Rosie, when she was on the air, had a habit of being hateful and polarizing to a Huge portion of the American population on a daily basis. If you did not agree with her Philosophies she was extremely hatefull and happy to personally attack. Any surprise when people give it back? Everyone has a right to freedom of speech - thank god. That way we can each decide for ourselves who and what to believe. When I listen to her I hear a giant Hypocrite. She was always able to stir up contreversy and say Hey Look At me. But soon after stirring up the contreversy she does what she does best, quits and walks out. Does not even bother to own up for her own actions. Blames it on everyone else.Yeah.... Shes a great role model.

The View may be beige - But Rosie and Company are green with envy. - Typical

not sure?
It seems obvious you do otherwise you wouldn't have clicked to read it.
You read it and commented on it, but you have better things to do with your time, right? Then do them!

I love when people click on something, read it, and then state, "who cares?"

116. The best thing about reading all the toxic crap from you pathetic Rosie haters (who obviously know nothing about the woman) is knowing how your bubbleheads will explode as The View's ratings without Rosie continue to sink, with little hope they will ever achieve the levels Rosie's presence brought them to. Whoopie's debut had more than 1 million LESS viewers than Rosie's debut a year ago. So, yeah, Ted, I'm sure she's sooooo green with envy. And Kenny - I thought they killed you...

I could care less if The View is cancelled tommorrow. It never was the best show in town. Quantity can never make up for quality. And I definately prefer Rosie
to the Zombies that follow her. y'all are very frightening.

118. Hey, rj: We don't know Rosie? We're pathetic losers because we "hate" her? I don't hate her. She just makes me want to vomit. I also think I have read enough, and seen enough to get a good idea of just how sick, mean, and disgusting she is. Plus, the ratings on "The View" won't bother me at all. I don't watch, never did - never will. I AM glad, that my exposure to Rosie's "Views" is now limited to small insignificant crap like this, however. At least we don't get a DAILY reminder now of her ignorant, psycho, pathetic attention-grabbing babbling.

119. I totally agree with "don't really care"...Barbara is cutting everyone off of late. I too believe that the show would be better if Barbara leaves permanently. She puts her hand on her head, rolls her eyes and acts as though whatever was said is horrible. She did it to Rosie daily and now she has already in just three days done it to Whoopi. I also feel that Elisabeth either needs to tone herself down or be fired. For me the show is over..........I won't be watching! Oh and all this nonsense about the new co host....does anyone really care anymore. Whoopi will be given the bum's rush by next year too.

120. So over Rosie & her "posse".........Whoopie is a much funnier & nicer person.......Good Luck Whoopie......we'll soon be saying.."Rosie who?"
