Re: do you care about Oprah going off the air?

  • No I could care less--she gets on my nerves.

  • No, I have never watched Oprah since I am at work.

  • No. I used to watch Oprah occasionally in high school because it was on right after my soap. But I don't care.

  • Not really. I used to love her but I think she probably should have gone off the air a few years ago.

     

    She annoys the rare times she interviews celebrities because she is a bigger celebrity than they are so her questions seem dumb. For example, she asked Stevie Nicks "is it hard to find a man that can handle you being the more famous one?" Stevie was like, ummm, well as I'm sure you know..........   I get that's why guests go on there, to talk about themselves, but it just seemed dumb by the end in my opinion.

  • I think she definitely has fans who care, but I'm not one of them
  • I watched Oprah regulary in high school and college I guess, but I haven't watched it in years.  Even if I catch on a day I'm off/at home, it sucks, its all about her or its some celebrity suck-up fest.  I think she's a good person, but I can't IMAGINE watching her every day.

  • I have an aunt that watches her religiously. I mean like she plans everything around Oprah. I am sure she is heartbroken.

  • Nope.  Like PP said, she probably should have stopped her show years ago. 

    That being said, I would have loved to be an audience member during her Most Favorite Things episodes to get all the free goodies!

    Ditto, I used to watch her when I was growing up but I wouldn't bother watching now if I had a day off. 

  • I really could care less. Never watched a show before.

  • I can't stand Oprah so I'm glad she's going off the air.  I think she's a self-righteous know it all.  She always seems to present herself as so enlightened and far superior than the rest of us.  I can't stand her.
  • I still watch her occassionally and will miss the institution that it's become.  I seem to be one of the few who doesn't think she's totally self absorbed - at least considering how incredibly far she's come over the years.  To me she's always handled the compliments and the success with an enormous amount of grace.

  • Not really. If I'm home from work early enough I will catch the occasional show if the topic/celebrity interests me, but I don't really like Oprah anymore. I used to love her and would watch her a lot more in college but I think she's gotten extremely self-absorbed and self-righteous as the years have gone on.

  • I don't personally care because I didn't watch her show regularly (except for this finale), but I do think that there are people other than just advertisers that care.  She was an icon and it's an end to an era since she has been on tv for so long.

  • Nope, even when I had a TV I never watched her except once in a blue moon.  I also hate to say it but I always hated the general theme of her book club.

  • Nope. I've tried to watch episodes where they were supposedly addressing real issues, but it was just fluff and no substance...

    ETA: They did not go as in-depth into the issue as I thought was appropriate/warranted.

  • I have an unnatural obsession with Oprah, so I care.
