    Wow, since I keep seeing the OPPOSITE sentiment expressed here re: the tour bus accident- how terrible for that poor man and his family and thank goodness no one else was seriously injured.

    "age-old trick or ideal formula of using extremes to make an impact"

    Virgin birth, crucifixion, Lazarus rising from the dead: nothing extreme about any of that.

    What is the Vatican talking about? Bella and Edward wait until marriage to have sex and Bella refuses to abort her baby even though it might kill her. You'd think that Twilight would be on top of their Netflix queue.

    Every comment is shown in italics, which makes everything look ironic.

    Maybe she hasn't been ground-breaking for the past few years, but she has done a lot for television, for women, for breaking down barriers and taboos. I can't help but appreciate her and love her.

    Let's face it. These last two seasons, Oprah has looked "checked out" which may have a lot to do with her thyroid condition.

    The other day I was flipping through the channels and was shocked at the size of the goiter on her neck. I was hoping that she would put her health before the joy she gets from rolling around in piles of cash.

    Isn't she just moving to her Harpo network or whatever? It's not like she's going quietly into the night with her Steadmuffin by her side, she'll be doing SOMETHING in the limelight.

    In reply to Oprah's Explanation For Ending Her Show
    She announced the end of her show once before so maybe her spirit will do a 180 again. Frankly I don't think she can last very long without being on camera promoting her agenda of the week uncontested. This is the woman who puts her own mug on the cover of her magazine every month! She even put Michelle Obama on her cover, but with herself!!

    She'll be back.

    @Tart of Darkness: She'll be back... on cable. She's launching a network in January 2011. (To be found on whatever channel you currently have Discovery Health on.)

    So it's not so much that she's giving up being on TV an hour a day... it's that she's upgrading to 24/7.

    In her defence, sales drop every time someone else is on the cover (or so I read). I guess it's the same as tuning in to watch Oprah and finding Gayle is filling in for her.

    @Etoiles: Thanks I was going to say the same thing, Nikki Finke has said this is her plan so this whole thing is just to get ratings for the last year and then she can announce that her show will be moving to her OWN network[ yes that is what it is called]

    @heykoukla: I seriously wonder why this is. I would actually love to study this in depth because I can't imagine why people wouldn't buy "Oprah" unless "Oprah" is on the cover. Like do they collect the cover pics? Do they not know it's her magazine unless there's a picture of her on it? And this suggests that there are issues out there without her picture on the cover. I don't follow it closely enough to know who was on the cover instead of Oprah when people chose not to buy. Not Gayle, I hope.

    I know people mock Oprah a lot. And hell I get mocked for watching Oprah. But I don't care.. I LOVE ME SOME OPRAH. Honestly, I love her shows. Sure, sometimes she's boring (everything she did with "the secret") and she doesn't always hit hard hitting questions (or very rarely does she hit hard hitting questions). But something about her show makes me happy. It's like a comfort at the end of the day. I'm just gonna have to watch her 20th anniversary dvd over and over.

    @JosephFinn: I love her when she gives bad diet and exercise advice. And promotes unethical therapists to the point where they get their own show!

    I loved her most when she said she canvassed the United States to ask poor black kids what they want more than anything and they all said video games and stuff so she judged them unworthy of her efforts and built a girl's school in Africa because they all said they wanted an education.

    She gave those American kids a chance to have their very own Oprah school and they blew it! Oh and well also there are laws about how schools are constituted and run in the U.S. which could be inconvenient.

    I also loved her a lot when she wanted to enter a closed store and claimed racial discrimination because they wouldn't open it up for her.

    I do love me some Oprah.

    @Tart of Darkness: It's fine to hate Oprah, but during the Hermes thing she repeatedly said that she didn't think it was racism, she thought it was because she was dressed shabbily in a tracksuit and looked poor. So, um, carry on with the anger, I guess.

    @hortense: Poor Doctor Phil. He didn't watch enough TV to realize that you can't claim to solve people's problems once and for all with just one book or idea. You have to be able to change your mind and solve people's problems with lots of conflicting concepts and ideas so you can keep milking the ratings. For example, his diet book that's the ONLY ONE YOU'LL EVER NEED. How stupid not to realize you might want to put out a sequel.

    Or the time he adopted a town and the town didn't want to be adopted. One of my greatest goals is to get on his show and ask him on camera whatever happened to Elgin, TX?
