CBS’ The Talk drops Holly Robinsion Peete an Leah Remini for Season 2!

Just as I was beginning to embrace “The Talk” over the God Awful “The view” I find out that two of my faves are jumpin’ ship, or should I say, getting tossed overboard. Both Leah Remini and Holly Robinson Peete will not be doing Season 2!!

Sara Gilbert made the cut as expected because little do people know, but she created the show. Julie Chen and Sharon Osbourne have also made the cut. Leah and Holly have been dropped. It’s like an NFL team for crying out loud.

The show has been steadily gaining viewership, smashing July with 2.21 million viewers in the 25-54 category. Sharon wants some time off to spend with Ozzy. She has been doing both “The Talk” and “America’s Got Talent” so it’s understood and well deserved. Holly and Leah are just getting time off.

There is no danger in the show itself being replaced. It’s the only show to be able to stand up to the dreadful “View”. It’s been now sold worldwide in the UK, India, Mexico and Canada so there is no shortage of funds.

Personally I thought Holly was good for the show. More then just your typical token Black “sista” girl, she had poise, focus and stood for many causes. She is also a talented actress and singer. Leah brought that ‘down to earth”, anti-snob, King of Queens swag. The chemistry they had not only seemed to work, but was very infectious. It will be hard to duplicate.

MY 2 PROBLEMS WITH ABC’S THE VIEW – Why they need to drop two!

“The View” has fallen into this rut, with a grumpy, angry Whoopie Goldberg running point. Everyday in that super annoying British Accent saying welcome to “The View”. It drives me nuts. She is like the grumpy old black lady that works at the Motor Vehicles Office. If you are that bothered then just stay the “f” home. She wears the frumpiest, tackiest outfits and her humor is dry and sometime very tasteless. Whoopie used to be….dare I say “Sexy”. That’s right. She was funny, edgy, upbeat, sexy with a smile that wouldn’t quit. I have no idea where all of that charisma, humor and charm went. Hollywood has sucked it right out of her.

Barbara Walters aka Miss Holy-er then thou – she just can’t do anything wrong. Not only is she judgmental and snappy, but she always feels that what she has to say is paramount to anyone else’s opinions. She will not allow herself to be cut off and feels she’s above 65% of the topics discussed. Maybe she is. Maybe the show itself is beneath her. She needs to have her own show that she produces with topics that she feels important so she can truly be engaged. Now she is just engaged enough to past judgment and then tune out to everyone else’s opinions, because not only doesn’t she care about the topics, she cares even less what someone else thinks about a topic she couldn’t care about.

Drop those two, pick up Leah and Holly and now you got a show!! I’m just saying .
