I don't like Chelsea Handler at all. I know her show is very successful, but I can't stand it. (My husband has it on sometimes. I usually leave the room or fall asleep.)

I think she's quite funny, and she doesn't strike me at all as someone who can dish it out but not take it. I read one of her books and it was mostly her poking fun at her own trashy lifestyle. I'd agree that her style and sense of humor are not for everyone. She's biting and not apologetic about it. My only complaint is that I wish she'd put on some mascara! She's a beautiful lady and her eyes just disappear with those blonde eyelashes.

I think the reason I found her more grating than funny is because I know someone like her in real life. Whats funny on tv is not too much when its close up!!

LOL, I love her. She just cracks me up, and from what I have read in her books, the family she discusses on shows does not really resemble her true family.
And I have seen her co-horts nail her to the wall on her show and she just laughs and says good one.

Chelsea Handler always looks high to me or extremely botoxed. It's as though when she talks only her mouth moves and not the rest of her face. It's weird.

I never had a good opinion but seeing her on The Talk.. whoa. I'm not fond of mean and she seems to just get off on it. But I'm not much for "mean is funny" comedians either.
Loved the other guest busting Julie Chen.. she had just said that she was always totally career oriented and he said that when they were CBS interns together, HE was the one working crazy hours and Julie was OUT of there at closing time. LOL..
I love Julie on this show.. she really lets you see her goofy side. Like one day she was talking about how she does a silly dance to entertain her 17 mo old son, Charlie and then she did the dance and it was REALLY silly. Not that we don't all act that way in private, but I just loved that she did that.
And just because SHE can take it doesn't mean her dishing it out isn't sort of uncomfortable for others.
Anyway, she may have been my least favorite of their guest, ever.
I got email from Ozzy's people today.. I'm on some list for Ozzy and they showed the ebay auctions for Ozzy's space outfit and Justin's space outfit. So far both over $2000 but Justin's was a bit higher.

She is very Kathy Griffin-ish. Shes OK as long as shes not talking about politics. Some of these comics I feel have no idea what they are talking about in the way of politics but only what they think is the cool way to believe. Also,Her stand up delivery/timing is terrible.

I think Kathy is far more funny, and more likable. I'm not sure I can explain it. I feel like Kathy really wants to be liked, and I feel like she's more of an everyman type, whereas Chelsea doesn't seem to care if you like her and her alcoholism and bedhopping make her someone I can't relate to as well (even if it is all in the past).

I dont really think shes promiscuous or an alcoholic,I think thats just her gimmick/schick. Yes, I see what you mean by Kathy being more likable.

Her book reads like she's describing her escapades from her past. Her "horizontal" book is presented as a "memoir", stories of her past. I'm sure they are exaggerated, but it's still not something I can relate to!

I don't like Kathy either.
Yes, no matter how they may be really, the "humor" puts me off so I want nothing to do with them.

I thought I was the only person who was not a KG or CH fan. Not much into Joan Rivers either. Don't like "mean funny".

I'm really enjoying this show, I hope it sticks around for a long time. This week they had some really good guests, including Marian Wright Edelman, Founder and President of the Children's Defense Fund, a clip of her segment is below.

The link below is to full episodes of The Talk, they keep them only for a short time, but all of this week is still there.

Good guests, but . . . . When the five ladies start purposely talking at the same time, trying to talk above each other (Leah Remini's voice usually stands out) -- I turn it off. No kind of information or entertainment there. It hurts my ears. I don't like it. The more I turn it off, the more likely I won't be turning it on in the first place.

I've never noticed them doing that, I see them as having a normal conversation. But I have always liked Leah R, she's funny and fun to me. The loud parts I don't like on any talk show, is the audience screaming, I have to mute it when that happens; it's like nails on a chalk board to me.

I've noticed it two or three times lately. They seem to do it purposely. NOT entertaining to me. Now old AFV programs are run opposite The Talk on a local station. Guess what I'm watching more and more.

I record it and watch. I really like the sh.ow and many of their guests. I also like that often some of their moms are in the audience

Is this show suddenly cancelled?
I have set to record as a series, the last show taped was on Wednesday. Today is Friday 25 and no shows taped, reason "system deleted on account of change by network."
The promos for all of next week describes the same show every day.

My TiVo schedule shows a specific synopsis for the show each day next week. Following week is short general description. That's normal. Maybe your problem is related to college basketball on CBS preempting the show. It did twice (I think it was) last week. It may again. Maybe your show schedule is due to that?

I don't think so.. they had Regis on this week and Larry King is coming next week.. when Sharon Osbourne is off taping for America's Got Talent they usually put in a guest.
They did skip some days for the basketball.
I'm pretty sure there was a show yesterday, but my memory's not always perfect. I just seem to remember coming home from driving and there being a The Talk to watch.
And my DVR Schedule shows
Monday 3/28 TV Personality Larry King
Tuesday 3/29 Actor Patrick Warburton; Little Big Town perfoms
Wednesday 3/30 Musician Sheryl Crow; Dierks Bentley performs
Thursday 3/31 Actress Nicole Sullivan; actor Kevin McKidd; TV personality Shaunie O'Neal
Friday 4/1 Autism awareness; musician Blake Shelton

Today, Leah Remini is wearing just about the ugliest dress I've seen. It looks even worse because it is a full length dress.

And I turned it off for the usual reason -- the ladies are talking at the same time over each other. It's just noise. That is NOT entertainment.
