Ah, “The View”. The talk show that has given us everything from heated political debates to introspective views on society and culture. And if by ‘everything’ we mean ‘headaches’, then yes, it has truly been a gift. ABC’s head seems to have had one too many Advil moments, as a recent announcement declared, “The View is the worst show on TV,” and that its impending doom via cancellation is on the horizon.

Now, we’ve all had moments where we’ve questioned some of the show’s content or perhaps raised an eyebrow at the spirited discussions between the co-hosts. But for ABC’s head to jump on the bandwagon with such a bold declaration? It’s like watching the captain of the ship point out the holes in the boat while still onboard.

It started as a platform to discuss daily hot topics and share differing opinions. However, it quickly became apparent that ‘opinions’ often translate to ‘heated arguments at a family reunion where Uncle Bob brings up politics’. You know the scene. The turkey gets thrown. Aunt Susie is crying into her mashed potatoes. It’s chaos.
