although I'll never figure out why she had to halp Rachael Ray get a talk show .......

She's the ultimate feminist placebo...

She thinks shes a god. I dont like her.

is that still on didnt she run outta guests yet

hate oprah

SUCKS!

no fuck her

don't even get me started on her

Brainwashing for women!

I dont get to watch it, unless I play hooky cause I have to work.

I used to really like Oprah and have a ton of respect for her but her show started a few years ago to be mostly about women's' issues. Not that I have a problem with that but it got old. The gift stuff is cool but I'm not home to watch it now since changing jobs awhile back.

I like her...easy with the Liberal accusations ok?

I admire Oprah as an incredible business person and as an influence of pop culture - who else could push Brothers Karamazov to the best seller list? Yet, I am not compelled to watch her show.

Ugh! Can't handle the show or her!!!

I watch the occasional episode. I guess I got over it when she only interviewed celebs and completely bi-passed the real world, real issues etc. The "occasional episode" that i DO watch - happens to be when she gets back to reality and focuses on somethign with substance.

an almost four. more of a 3.5. I do not watch this everyday. some of her topics are good.others well just turn the channel. I like Oprah, she does good for charities, she is smart. I am not one of those fans who hang on her every word  like some of those gals in her audience. on occasion she does seem a bit full of herself. for the most part she is good.

A fat, black Rosie O'donnell who buys her popularity.

Why think for yourself, Oprah has it all figured out for you.  She is a star better than the trash on Jerry Springer, but she's no Donahue.

she's outstanding.

Oprah had a local teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: Get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids would come back, be on the show and one by one tell their stories.

Kathy said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup when we hit a bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess."

"And what's the moral of the story?" asked Oprah.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"

"Very good," Oprah exclaimed. "Now, Lucy?"

"Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks. And the moral to this story is, don't count your chickens until they hatch."

"That was a fine story Lucy." "Johnny, do you have a story to share?"

"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told me this story about my Grandpa who was a fighter pilot in World War Two, and his plane got hit. He had to bail out over enemy territory and all he had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun, and a machete. He drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break. Then he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. He killed seventy of them with the machine gun until he ran out of bullets, then he killed twenty more with the machete till the blade broke; then he killed the last ten with his bare hands.

"Good heavens," said the horrified Oprah, "What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"

"Don't F**K with Grandpa when he's been drinking!"

oprah is better than average and has more class. i am just usually busy at that time of day so i normally don't watch.

I'm in the middle of the road. She definitely is inteligent. For that she gets a point. She can have another point for the nice things she does for people. A third point can be gotten for the hard work, time and effort, not to mention expense it took for her to get where she is. I admire perserverance. I take one point away because of her allowing her own show to get stale and boring the past year or two. The other point she can't have because after she does those nice things for others, she gets way too pumped up and full of herself like Starburst said.

I used to like her, but to me she seems rather full of herself now.

If only Oprah would just sink back into the depths of whatever pit she arose from...

I have alot of respect for Oprah, but I think shes run her course. The topics over the last 2 or 3 seasons are from the bottom of the idea bin, or they are ones that shes covered in past seasons. I think its time for her to try new venues like maybe a reality show.

Oprah is the American success story. Even with her billion, she still looks at her audience and talks to her public like a genuine human being who cares deeply and wants to change things for the better. I want to add that she could start changing the world by having the feeble minded uneducated moronic piss for brains dumb shits that add their two sentences of blah blah misspelled garbage to this forum. Then she could present them to the world as the fools that they are. Excuse me. Just needed to get that off my chest.

I'm sick of her. Her show used to be good when she wasn't lazy. Now she might as well be any housewife televising her get-togethers with friends, only that her friends are Hollywood stars and writers. She has completely alienated her male audience ever since her format change god knows when in the 90's, and the stuff she tells women is just downright stupid and dare I say, harmful. Oprah now thinks she's lord above everything, and every word she says must be revered. She reminds me of the arrogant woman in power who belittles men by asking stupid questions that she feels makes her stronger. You know, in regards to the James Frey case, Oprah, you recommended the book. This is your mistake. Most of these authors are liars and schmucks anyway. What is the point of belittling the author? Just admit the mistake and move on. I'm completely sick of this distortional show, and it's a great example of what is wrong with women. The reasoning of women on this show is a great example of why they aren't regarded as equals by men. The real world just doesn't operate like this. Men will realize the guy is a fraud, tell him to go to hell and move on. Women will bear a grudge and try to humiliate him...and keep on doing it stupidly, like it accomplishes anything...'GIRL POWER!' WHATEVER. Here's to the day this crappy show dies.

WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

i dont usually watch this show i just gave her a for cause it makes me happy to see a african-american billioniare.

She makes my skin crawl. The women in the audience fall over each other just to kiss her fat ass. So full of herself...can't flip the channel fast enough. Maybe she an Martha can pudding wrestle...Martha can make it and Oprah can eat it..........

Yes it has got a point , sometimes .. and somehow refelects the truth and the real america .. she touched us somehow .. and also entertained us in some different ways .. But however, a couple of series were really silly if u ask me ..hence it gets four

it sucks like every other talk show.....all talk shows suck..lets let the world how terrible america is with talk shows!!!!! *uckers.

Dear Oprah, I am a Palestinian woman that is very much influenced by your talk shows. I have been very much touched by your human qualities you speak for us all women. Your enlightning program has been always a relief for me at times when there is no room for a true concious for humanity in my raped country by the Israeli soldiers. I watch your program on MBC two the Arabic chanal I thank you for being the person you are becouse you are making a difference for many in the world. If more of your kind exist in this world you can emagine the world to be a better place. I congratulate you for an excellent and an outstanding natural show. Yours Suheir

i only watch her every so often but she is good at what she does. she shows what you can do despite adversity

Oprah is a smart aleck! It has been a month since I started watching her show again(the last time I watched Oprah was years ago)and I must say that oprah has changed so much....and for the wrong path. The episodes are what my rating said...one star and terrible! The worse part of the show comes later and it is called The Secret Lives Of Teen Girls. This is a part that is dark and way to deep and brings the show down and makes it look stupid in other episodes. Both Oprah and her show are not what they used to be. I would rather watch Ellen Degeneres(I hope that I got her name right).

Oprah has become starstruck. Have you noticed how she will introduce some guests as my friend Julia Roberts, & immdeiatly proclaims herself as not name dropping? She says she is not starstruck, but you can see that she clearly is.

Used to like her, until she started portraying herself as some guru, out to teach us how to live better. Now she TRIES to be humble, but comes across as someone full of herself.

She has a good show. Sometimes very intresting. Not like the normal talk shows, believe me thats good.

The best daytime talk show in history.

i love oprah show and i think it is very educative and tis definetly the number one talk show

She does seem to really want to help people, but I find her very tiresome. Apparently she feels she's reached such a pinnacle of perfection in her life that she can advise the rest of us how to live our lives. I can think for myself and I don't need to watch a silly talk show to find out what book I should read or what trend I should adopt.

Should be shot for getting Dr. Phil into the biz,and really jumpstarting a trend to increase the role of therapists in everyday life.

AWESOME! She is wonderful and i love her show. I want to go see her and be in her audience.

I usually make it a point not to watch this show. Many guy's do, so I don't think that may be any earth shattering surprise to anyone. However, I don't watch, not because the show is very touchy-feely, but because the show always tend to become obnoxious at one point or another and I feel Oprah is given a pass on too many things that others in her field aren't.

Oprah Winfrey is still the best talk show host now! There were a few years where she kind of slacked off a bit, but she has succeeded the rest of the time. She has some positive themes in her topics. I love it every time she has Patti LaBelle as a musical guest on the show--she's a huge fan of her. The 50th birthday show had lots of surprises! She provides insight and advice for her guests. I like it when she can admit her faults and mistakes on some shows. She can be funny on some shows, especially the one time that she went to shop at a Costco store in the Chicago area. Going wow! at almost everything! (funny) I hope that she continues to make great shows into her 25th year in 2011! By that time, her competition of Ricki, Jerry, Maury, Montel and others will have already vanished or been canceled!

Oprah is the BEST talk show out there. I don't what you people are talking about who say it is boring... maybe you are too immature to really appreciate the topics the Oprah show shares with us! She has interesting guest stars, she helps sooo many people, and she gives away a whole lot of stuff. It's so much better than the trash that Jerry Springer shows and the waste of time show like Ricki Lake. Oprah ROCKS!!!

This woman is awesome! She makes us aware of what is really happening in this world. She is an angel of God and is selfless in her generosity to others and making people's dreams come true. Bless you, Oprah! I don't think she cries too much on her show. It shows she is human and that she feels the pain for others. She has a wonderful and very big heart.

Oh God. What a bunch of low lifes. Sitting there and listening to other peoples problems! Go do something worthwhile with your life!

every time i happen to catch a glimpse of that show its either 1) she talks about how bad men are 2) she talks how all women are victims of men 3) see a bunch of fat middle-aged housewives jumping up and down with happily-retarded looks on their faces. i could even forgive all that if the show had any substance, but it doesnt. i honestly cant believe she stayed on the air for so long and became one of the world's richest women because of it.

One of the worst shows ever !
