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."

I actually only read the headline
where it said
"Too Bad It's Beige"

wasn't curious enough about the rest of the comments in the article or the video to even check it out-
that's why
because of my own lack of interest and curiosity when I saw the headline in the piece,
I wondered how many of us really care one way or the other any more

obviously judging from some of the strong responses here,there seem to be a great many people who still have very strong opinions on the subject

can't deny that Rosie is polarizing
(or peoples impression of Rosie are one extreme or another-love or hate)
since the majority of the comments are very strong
whether they are pro or con

123. When Meredith left I didn't think I would watch the View again until Rosie came on board. It was wonderful to see something actually important being discussed every day. Now, Elizabeth makes me want to puke and Whoopi is clearly uncomfortable trying to fit in. She is another person like Rosie who needs a show of her own - she's way to big for the the View.
I give Whoopi a a year and she will move on too.

Love you Rosie - can't wait for your HBO show!!!

125. On Ro's blog, she says dogs came from "the pound". Educated people don't use that word anymore - animal shelter is preferred. She comes across as a seeker of truth, but she says she prays (to an imaginary God, when no proof it exists). I think she should take some night classes @ community college!

128. Rosie is probably right because lesbians have a good sense of fashion and decor. Lesbians seem to have that knack over normal women!!!!!!!

129. I love Whoopi but,sorry The View will not survive.
IT IS CENSORED!........What is the point of having a show called The View when the views are censored?
SMART people will not watch .........LEMMINGS will.
Plain and simple.
And as far as I know,smart people are starting to out number the SHEEPLE!
So.....You Sheeple keep sitting there and listen to your FAKE,NOTHING,MINDLESS topics
that are Cherry Picked for your viewing pleasure by Neo-Con butt kissing Bill Geddies
and phony sell out Barbara Walters.I only hope poor Joy can survive.elizibeth,not worth mentioning.
