I just realized it was you I was "talking" to BigBaby! How ARE you??? How have you been?? Miss ya here.

I watched the first couple of minutes and lost interest in it so I turned the TV off.

I read where the OWN network is going down the tubes....in real trouble. From the programming lineup, it isn't any surprise.

I watched her today and really didn't care for it.. She did say the The Dr Oz show will be in the 4:00 time slot. So far I have not cared for her OWN shows. I hate the Gayle King Show. She is sooo boring.. maybe in time it will get better.

So Dr. Oz is switching networks? That will mean that The Doctors will be followed by Dr. Oz? Don't think that will work for long - maybe The Doctors will switch times or go off the air. I like it better than Dr. Oz. I heard something about Rosie O'Donnell having a show - does anyone know if that will be on OWN? I think once Oprah can devote all her time to OWN that it will improve. I don't really watch anything on it but might now that her show is off.

It was boring.

Yes, Jasdip, it's me!!! I lurk around from time to time! I'm really great. Our baby is graduating from high school and that makes things super busy and distracting! I literally quit my day job to focus on performing, which is wayyyyyyy more challenging that anything I've ever done!

Back to the Oprah thing. I think her show kind of got more boring over the last few years and I didn't watch it as much. I don't get the whole OWN network thing because I thought she was getting out of the TV show thing, but now she has a whole network! Doesn't that seem like a much bigger headache?

She has done a LOT of good over the years and I wish her luck. I have to say it will be odd not having her on!

Something I discovered is that none of her shows is available on the internet like all the other TV shows. Once her shows broadcast, that's it. She owns all the rights and doesn't make them available in case you missed one.

bigbaby - what kind of performing are you doing? I think that's neat that you quick your day job to perform. Good for you.

Marie, I'm an actor and I sing and play the guitar and I'm also doing standup.

I watched it and found it interesting. I was an Oprah watcher many years ago (maybe 15-20?), but haven't watched more than a handful of times since then.

The show was preachy, sure, but she had some good things to say. I imagine that she felt she'd never have such a bully pulpit again, and wanted to give one last push for the things she believes in. Our common humanity and need to feel heard. The power of being passionate about something. Reaping what you sow. Love.

One of the things I love about Oprah is how amazingly articulate she is, and today was a prime example. She spoke for nearly an hour, and spoke beautifully and movingly.

I can't say I'll miss her, simply because I didn't watch, but I thought she did well today. And I really liked the "victory walk" outside the studio through people I assume were her Harpo employees.

I watched her final show and at times felt like I was in church. I was a faithful viewer for many years, but lost interest 4 or 5 years ago because she constantly interupted her guests. I wish her well in her next endeavor!

I never watched the show. I like her and admire her but just never watched.So I won't be missing her. I do like her "find", Nate Berkus, though.

Some of her "finds" will be having shows on OWN and, no doubt there are growing pains. I have watched 'forever', and learned so much from her and there have been times when I just haven't watched. Most of tv just drives me nuts with all the comercials and my attention gets distracted. I wish her well and believe she will continue to be successful...wherever and however. Nanny

BTW.. I watched the show and found it uplifting, and was hoping that my DD was watching, as she needs the message that Oprah was giving,( as she returns home again to get her life back on track)..

I liked her show best when she had the audience interaction. Once that stopped, she seemed to preach too much and I stopped liking the show. But I would much rather watch her show than Dr Phil. Never watched Dr Oz. I didn't bother watching her last show yesterday. I didn't see the point. If i wasn't a loyal viewer, then it was just to be with the 'in' crowd and say I did.

I didn't know Slice was OWN here. I knew we had the channel, but could never find it.

Oprah is going to do another talk show. She's not done with that. She's just doing it on her network. So I don't really get all the hooplah.

Hi Bigbaby, nice to see you again! You've been missed.

We watched Oprah's last show yesterday because I just love her and will miss her a lot. She was interesting to listen to as I started dinner. Yesterday, though, was mostly boring to me. She spoke for an hour.

I told Harry if the TV thing hadn't worked out for her she could've become a preacher! Love her but won't miss the "ah ha" moments.

As for OWN, too early to tell. Her Oprah show sure didn't start out with a bang!

The OWN channel isn't the Slice channel where I live in Canada. Instead OWN is a channel you have to pay for every month if you want it, and I have no plans on doing that.

I get OWN but never watched.

I saw it and really enjoyed it--way to go, Oprah. We don't have cable so no OWN for us.

I don't think I've ever watched a whole show of hers but read a lot of the good things she has done

Oh, my goodness, I just posted almost the same thing under a different title . Sorry!

Hehe, no problem Jannie!.

@Patti, hey there! Thanks!!

We have the option to block channels we do not care for, so I have never watched OWN. I have never been a fan of Opray Winfrey and thought why should I support her own network?

Why would you "support" CBS, CNN or any "network"? I thought that TV was for "entertainment", "information" and "education"; all of which is on OWN. I do not believe Oprah started OWN to further "feather her own nest", but to be able to create a place where movies, information and education by, for and about WOMEN will be available. I imagine that her success has been so tempered by the challenges that women have faced during her 25 years of tv, that it is her aim to continue to break through that "glass ceiling" that we hear about. Women need to champion the success of other women, not ignore or think of it as self-promoting. Just My Opinion. Sorry if I have stepped on toes.
