The Talk and Sharon Osborne ...

Doesn't Sharon remind you of Leona Helmsley?  

OK.  So, apparently Sharon Osborn and the Talk are going away for a little while.  You see, Sharon got into it with Sheryl Underwood over Piers Morgan saying "racist" things about Megan Markle, etc., etc., etc.  The issue at hand was that Sharon did not call out Piers Morgan for racist comments he has made with regard to Megan.  Sheryl explains to Sharon, that by defending Piers Morgan, she is in effect, basically okaying the racism.  Sharon then comes back and demands that Sheryl tell her WHAT Piers Morgan has said that is racist?!  And back and forth it went.

OK.  Here's my take.  Everyone is getting their panties in a twist over Megan and Harry's interview with Oprah.  Piers is a royalist, therefore he is calling Megan a liar about her statements regarding baby Archie and the royal family and their rules and regulations and prejudices.  Piers is stating that Megan is LYING about everything.  Sharon is defending Piers for his opinions and she's getting heat from Sheryl Underwood for being ok with racist comments made by Piers.  So NOW, they have temporarily gone off air.  I have never seen The Talk.  It's just like The View ... a bunch of women cackling over each other and it just makes me want to put a bullet in my head. 

Bottom line, with COVID resurging, the economy, housing prices rising to ridiculous rates here in California, and the fact that I haven't dyed my hair in over a year .... WHO THE FUCK CARES about Megan and Harry!  THEY'RE RICH!  I'm sorry!  It's just kind of hard for me to feel sorry for people who HAVE EVERYTHING!!  DAYUM!

THEN ...

you've got these two!  The same crap is going on on The View.  Apparently, Joy Behar got into Megan McCain's face about Antifa not being a REAL organization.  People ... Antifa exists.  They're just not as cray-cray as the Proud Boys or those other Nazi groups out there who hate brown people and Jews.  

The whole argument started over Ron Johnson's rhetoric and his belief that there was no racism with regard to the Capitol riots.

UGH ... enough!

The point I would like to make is this ... in the 1960's there used to be REALLY interesting talk shows where people discussed politics and other topics like adults and with actual knowledge.  Google "Dick Cavett" on Youtube and check it out.  Thought provoking television.  

Dick Cavett interviewed EVERYONE!  

And no one got out of control, no one screamed and yelled or insulted anyone with a differing opinion.  They spoke, they listened, they debated, all with respect and something we don't see enough of today ... MANNERS.  

If you're curious about what life was like in the 1960's-1970's, I would urge you to check out Dick Cavett.  Not only are the interviews interesting, but they will reflect what life was like back when I was young.  

The behavior we see on TV today -- with Sharon Osborn, and Sheryl Underwood and Joy Behar and Megan McCain, you would NEVER see anything like that on television.  EVER.  And if anyone got snarky, those kinds of comments were made with real panache.  

Example:  I used to watch the Merv Griffin show EVERY NIGHT.  And one night he had on Zsa Zsa Gabor and Shelley Winters.  Shelley was basically doing a book tour for her autobiography (which I read and it was HILARIOUS) anyway, Shelley Winters and Burt Lancaster (who was married)  would meet up once a year (for years) to have sex and Shelley wrote about this in her book.  Zsa Zsa made a comment about Shelley being "loose" and Shelley told Zsa Zsa, "awww come on Zsa Zsa, if you and I were keeping score you'd be WAY ahead" to which the audience erupted in laughter.  Wherein Zsa Zsa responded "well, I've never slept with anybody else's husband!"
