“The View” Vs. “The Talk” - Daytime TV Rivalry

 With the new daytime talk show 'The Talk' in full swing, it makes sense that people are comparing it to 'The View'. Both are hosted by a group of ladies with divergent and sometimes radical opinions, but 'The Talk' focuses mostly on issues that Moms face every day like bullying in schools and when it is right to give your kids the sex talk.. It will be interesting to see which comes out ahead eventually.

Daytime TV Battle Of “The View” Vs. “The Talk”
| Neon Tommy:

Everyone has an opinion about one of daytime’s most successful talk shows, ABC's “The View.”

Some call it a daily yelling match with five women talking over one another nonstop. Others consider it, for better or worse, a democrat love fest minus Elisabeth Hasselbeck."

Whatever your perception is, “The View” has proven to get people talking and be a ratings winner.
For the longest time, competing networks have failed to present a program similar to “The View” with five women talking about hot-button issues and interviewing famous newsmakers- until now.

With the near death of soap operas, CBS has prepared themselves and rolled out a new daily talk show titled “The Talk,” which has the potential to be a very successful program.

Now in its second week of shows, “The Talk” is trying to establish their identity and find out what works best for the largest audience.

In the first episode, the hosts (who are all mothers) including USC Annenberg alum Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and “Mom on the Street” reporter Marissa Jaret Winokur discussed the intentions of the show.

In comparison to “The View,” this show will focus most on moms and stories from a mom’s point of view.
Some subjects already discussed include the recent “Glee” photo scandal, bullying in schools and when it is right to give your kids the sex talk.

I was fortune enough to attend a taping of “The Talk” this week and realized the show could be the next big thing in daytime.

Unlike “The View,” each host listens to the other and tries their best to not talk over one another.

The initial guests have included A-listers such as Christie Brinkley, Jennifer Lopez, Judge Judy and Hilary Swank.

Most importantly, the show’s main subject is moms and who is watching daytime television everyday…. Moms!

Granted, like any new show, there could be improvements. Some topics like focusing on “the terrible twos” could be uninteresting to viewers who don’t have any kids near that age.

Some hosts talked much more than others and I wanted to hear more of a group conversation with more opinions.

CBS launched The Talk today, an all-female round table that brings very different women together to discuss news topics and personal items.

First up is Julie Chen, with more of a traditional anchorwoman look (amplified blowout, defined cat-eye makeup) but the look is tousled and softer for this venture, paired with a glossy pink lip. Totally pretty.

ea Remini was her normal outspoken self with a smoky daytime eye, lots of long lashes and a coral lipstick. Can’t really say I love the lipstick color but Lea looks gorgeous as usual.
Sharon Osbourne was rocking her signature look: cropped cherry red hair, pale skin and a glossy lips. Dressed head to foot in black. I adore Sharon Osbourne.
Holly Robinson-Peete worked her signature caramel-brown curly hair, lots of lashes and an extra glossy lip. Looking great, Holly!
Finally, we have what could be the game changer: Sara Gilbert, who looked GORGEOUS on camera today? Fresh makeup, glowing skin – this is a whole new look for the actress and it is WORKING for her.
