The View from the bottom

Have you noticed that almost every new daytime TV show wants to be a version of “The View”? You can almost hear the pitch sessions down at Television Central – “It’s totally different: It’s ‘The View’ with doctors.” “It’s ‘The View’ with interior decorators.” “It’s ‘The View’ with politicians.” “It’s ‘The View’ meets ‘SportsCenter.’” “It’s ‘The View,’ but on the Home Shopping Network.” “It’s ‘The View’ with comedians.” “It’s ‘The View’ with celebrity chefs.” “It’s ‘The View’ with pawn shop owners.” “It’s ‘The View’ for hoarders.” “It’s ‘The View’ hosted by the Kardashians.” “It’s ‘The View’ meets ‘Dancing with the Stars.’” “It’s ‘The View’ with people who’ve been kicked off ‘Survivor.’” “It’s ‘The View’ with people talking about ‘The View’ that they watched this morning.” “It’s ‘The View’ with interesting women talking about the topics of the day.” Oh, no, wait, that IS “The View.”
