Debbie was replaced by the lovely Lisa Ling and the View hit its stride. After a few successful years Ling later got canned and was replaced with Style network's gripping, The Look For Less and Survivor: The Austalian Outback loser Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Let the downward trajectory begin.
At this point, the co-hosts, “acts” were defined to the point of parody. Vieira’s “working mom” shtick became tired. Jones’s rants were/are pure torture. Behar became a shrill clown armed with ancient Clinton jokes. Barbara Walters? She’ll never live down that awful Halloween episode where she made like a jerk and pretended to be Marilyn Monroe and stayed in character to the point of profound audience/co-host discomfort.
Of course not lost in this danger zone is “The Viewmaster” Bill Geddie. He’s often the “straight man” for the world’s unfunny segments. We’ve seen him in a tutu, dressed as a bear and now we want to see serve time--for being so lame.
A Near Rant- You know what gets me about this show? Some people complain about the View having a "liberal bias." That's probably why that right-leaning twit Hasselbeck was signed on, it couldn't be because of her "sparking personality." Despite the hurl worthy diatribes from both sides, this is an entertainment broadcast.
The Final Verdict: Meredith Vieira's the only one I can stand...

Star Jones is the most self-obsessed, self-congratulatory, head-up-her ass celebrity the world has ever known. I would do nearly anything to slap that enormous face of hers. What an embarrassment.
I agree Bill. Star's become even more tiresome. The odd thing is she's not entertaining--on an entertainment program. In fact, she's one of the reasons I even dread thinking about this show.
