So, will you miss Oprah, when the show ends?

So did she.


For some strange reason, she always reminds me of one of my sisters-with a very dark tan.  ;) :D ;D ;D  I mention that to Carlos the other day and he said that he sees it, too. I think it is the eyes.

I like Oprah, but she is a little egocentric.  :D

But I do get the sense that she truly cares about the people she gives charity to.

Did she say what she is going to do when the show ends?

no.... she said she was done. that in her heart she knew that this was a good time to go.

Personally I wouldn't mind if the Oprah Network aired all 25 seasons of Oprah. there are some shows I really want to see again and some that I never got a chance to see.

You know... the title of this thread made it sound like she was dead or something.


I won't be missing her show, btw.

I find it interesting that her network is OWN-because she does.  :D ;D ;D ;D

Do they show Oprah in Holland or the Netherlands? ???

Honestly, watching a test pattern is more enjoyable than her show.  I've never been a fan, so I won't be sad to see her show go bye bye. 

I know there are many people who will be sad to see her go, and I can understand that (to each his/her own kind of thing), but one of those people definately is not me.

Sorry I don't like her. Yet another topic on which we have differing views.  ;D

I always liked her show until 2006 when it got really boring.

I think she has good instincts and it's only right that her show ends.

When we first moved here, I tried to get tickets.  There was a six week wait.  I can't imagine what it's going to be like now. :o

I know right... we should write her audience coordinator or something and see if we can get the 00ze ladies together for a mini meet at the Oprah Show.... that I would fly for!    (but don't tell my mom!)

Now that is a good idea!  Sort of like how online friendships blossom out into real life.  She'd probably go for it. ;D

They've changed the system for show tickets now.  Check it out:

Well now that the coast is clear, maybe Phil Donahue can come out of retirement and retake the daytime talk crown.  8)

I didn't care either way.

I'm sorry...I was never an Oprah Fan. I saw her show a few times, even one that I remember when she had Paul McCartney as a guest. (I'm a fan of Paul McCartney, though).

'S Okay, I'm not a big fan either.  It's just that when somebody becomes a daily fact o' life for a quarter-century, it's strange to think of life without them!  I remember back in 1987 when the network was just front-loading the "Oprah Winfrey Show"* with endless celebratory promos.  It was like, you haven't heard of Oprah Winfrey?  Well, you should have.  You're behind times if you haven't.  Of course, few people outside of her Cincinnati market had, but by the fall of '87, anybody who turned a TV set heard of her!  And that's the way it went.  I remember watching Oprah with my sister in the early years.  My sister luuuuuved that woman!  I was like, meh, she's pretty good at what she does, but daytime TV talk isn't really my thing.  I thought she was trying to be a black female Phil Donahue.  I never considered she could be ten time bigger than Phil.  Just didn't cross my mind!

Something like that.

Oh, one thing I liked about Oprah was the that the right people hated her:  Stupid white male whining suburban bigots who listened to Rush Limbaugh!
:P

*Yeah, you still had to call her Oprah Winfrey back then, like people used to have to call Elvis Elvis Presley.

I don't care what anybody says her show was my childhood. Even though I didn't watch it much, it's gonna be weird not seeing it on at 3 pm after a long day at school.
