I used to watch it too when Leah and Holly were on...BUT when they got rid of them for speaking their minds, they lost me as a viewer.  They made the show fun. Sharon O tried to intervene but it didn't work...but if you notice she is still on there...traitor is what Sharon is.

Now as you say its all rehearsed and Julie runs a tight ship....very boring.

I'm so glad The View has revived itself!

She is flat. She gets so much play because she is married to Leslie Roy Moonves, Chairman of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer of CBS Corporation.
For me, The Talk is a TV break between the Bold and Beautiful and Dr. Phil.

Sara Gilbert is the producer.  I thought she pulled the strings

julie does seem to be in charge.  I thought what they did to Leah and Holly was shameful and I respected The View for letting the hosts go out on a good note.  But they have never even mentioned that Micehlle was terminated/leaving/whatever which shocked me. 

I only know what I read in an article...That Leah was too loud and allowed her mother to park in spots that were reserved for the honchos on the show...and Holly only wanted to talk about her disabled son and her family.

When their contracts came up for renewal they were both 'blind-sighted'

I liked them both and didn't watch the show all the time but at least they made the show interesting. They did not want a show like "The View".  which is why everything they discuss is rehearsed and scripted.

The View did the same thing to Michelle...you know the tall comedian that was on..for awhile.
