I agree that it was a pretty dumb time to put the show on. I actually like Rosie, but I think a lot of people were turned off by her when she got "meaner" after her talk show ended - apparently more like what she is in real life, but had to be nicer on the show, and probably the View stint helped showcase that again.
I'm not sure if I'm making any sense (it makes sense in my head, lol, but it doesn't seem to be coming out clearly at the moment)
"Rosie used to be fun. I think The View killed her career."
I agree with the first statement, but honestly, I think her big mouth and really pissy attitude killed her career rather than "The View". It seems as though she MUST be angry about SOMETHING or SOMEONE all the time, and IMO THAT is what turned many people off...it did me for sure. I really used to like her. Now...well, not so much. It's too bad because she IS talented and seems intelligent - she should use these positive qualities in a more constructive manner.
