What’s The Secret To The Immense Popularity Of ‘The View’ TV Show?

Almost everyone has watched ‘The View’ TV show at some time or another. While I suspect women comprise their main audience, it’s only because women, such as SAHMs, are at home during the morning time slot. However, both women and men take advantage of programmable recording devices to watch this popular show at their leisure. So what’s the secret to this program’s success? One factor is surely the makeup of the panel members. While the panel leans toward liberal viewpoints in general, Barbara Walters serves both sides by turn. Whoopi Goldberg inserts humor and deftly moderates what might have turned into spats, keeping everyone on track and keeping the talk civil.
