Mini-Recap: The View: Tuesday, March 20, 2007
I wasn’t going to write about The View today because frankly I wanted to binge at the Soup Plantation and go see 300 instead, but I can’t just let a filling dish like today’s pass me by. This is not a full on blow by blow, but today’s ep is definitely at least worth a page or two. I don’t want to tell you happens in the first paragraph, so I’ll just give you a hint. Posie mells Gelizabeth roff. Again. Yaaay!

The girls welcome Barbara back from her trip to Venezuela where she interviewed Hugo Chavez. She is happy to come back to a peaceful house. The kids didn’t piss anyone off while she was away, at least no one who fought back publicly. Elizabeth, the little kiss ass, says they were afraid to misbehave when Barbara was with someone so powerful because she might have them taken care of. If only, Elizabeth. If only. Barbara said every morning at eleven, she lit a candle. LOL, Babz. “Just in case you hadn’t heard…†Yes, Barbara. We’ve heard. You interviewed Hugo Chavez. What an amazing accomplishment. She blathers on about it but decides to wait to show clips until the next segment. Goody. This is gonna be a day long event.
9:58 I had to get out of bed today to work to avoid getting bedsores, so I came down to the coffee shop. I sat at an angle where people couldn’t look at my computer screen, because a grown man sitting in a coffee shop typing madly and watching The View on his computer screen just doesn’t look right. I plugged my earphones into the wrong hole and when I pressed play, housewives screamed and the announcer boomed “Today on The View!†I slapped the mute button, but the damage was done. I am getting dirty, disapproving “get a job†looks from everyone in here. Even the girls! Judge not lest you be judged, bitches!
10 AM Joely Fisher is the Guest Host Today and I am sure I am not the only one who can’t stop staring at her boobs. Jesus, Joely. It’s 10 in the morning, put the girls away! Joely’s there to remind us that she is on a sitcom called Til’ Death with Brad Garrett. Why don’t we watch it? Joely thinks it’s because they’re opposite Ugly Betty. Or it’s cuz Til’ Death’s a piece of crap. They’re moving to Wednesday nights after the American Idol results show, which means we are stuck with Brad Garrett interviews and Celebrity Poker embarrassments for at least another season or so. Anyhoo, Joely survives in the biz by turning in annoyingly memorable performances in bad shows, and I give her props for that. Boobs. Sorry, but seriously. I can’t concentrate on anything else…
9 AM Credits. Wow. The View has been on for ten years? I remember watching the first episode in a tiny two bedroom apartment in Queens with my friend and roomie, Brandy. For whatever reason, I was obsessed with bunnies at the time and brought two home as pets. As Barbara, Meredith, Star, Joy and Lisa Ling subjected us to the first day of bitching, moaning, and baseless outlandish opinion mongering, Brandy cackled and I walked through the apartment picking up tiny little balls of rabbit poopy muttering “Shut those crazy bitches up!†Ah, Memories. A decade has past and I am happy to report that I no longer have bunnies to pick up after, Brandy and I are still very close friends, and I still mutter “Shut those crazy bitches up!†every morning.
