Well, no more Oprah Winfrey Show

[Deleted]

Looks like Ms Winfrey is calling it quits, this after 25 seasons of her show.

I liked some of her shows, found them very informative, but honestly, lately, they were becoming more and more like just nonsense. I think it is time for her to move on.

I wonder what she will devote her time to now? Perhaps that school for young ladies in Africa? hmm...

You are really naïve if you think she is going to disappear from the television screen completely.

I know another thread you could add her name to...

Kerouac, I've always been naive.

Oh yeah, imec, Which one?

The hole this creates in my life will be filled with doughnuts. Ironic isn't it?

Actually, I can imagine a certain amount of distress among younger people who have known such a program all their lives. When something like that disappears, it removes a strange little element of stability. For example, if I went to the U.S. and discovered that NBC had cancelled the Today show, I would be extremely disconcerted.

My GF likes Today and I'm still at a loss why. It's just so... so... insipidly vanilla and lacking in anything remotely surprising, intellectually challenging or any subversive grit ;D

Absolutely, but it is an institution.

I was amazed at the distress of a lot of non religious (and even non Catholic) people when John Paul II died, because he was the only pope they had ever known and he reassured them. The new piss-vinegar pope surely does not.
