I could only take just sooo much of one person. Oprah has done wonderful things, you only want to hear them once, maybe twice, she just was toooo much for me.

I happen to be a woman who enjoys watching 60 minutes, Charlie Rose, documentaries, etc.

I am completely with you on this issue. I find it insulting some of the shows that are marketed to women. We have been backsliding for quite awhile . With all the push-up bras and shapers being marketed are we really liberated? ( I can get really on a soap box on this issue... )

It would not hurt my feelings if her network disappeared totally. I didnt watch her on national network, so I sure don't watch own. Just my opinion.

I would be glad if it just disappeared.

I also liked Discovery Health although in recent years I took to calling it the "WTF" channel, as it was full of shows like the 1000 pound man, born without a face, I swallowed my own foot, weird stuff like that.

This post cracked me up! Hot coffee through the nose HURTS!

When you think of all the crap on TV...and compare this show...wow...I think everyone should watch this show...how different our world would be! In this world of Me Me Me...... this show helps us learn how to be all the best that we can be, and shares how we can become better human beings. I LOVE it. Please take the time to watch a couple segments, you may be pleasantlyt surprised!!!

I'm with you Ruth. Her life classes are great. They give you alot to think about. I stumbled across the life classes toward the end of the series. Then I found the beginning on repeats and started watching that but have missed some lately. They are certainly worth watching.
