OK..the people get crazy when Oprah gives them free stuff..

my wife would drink the Kool Aid for sure. she is watching the show right now. the woman are creaming themselves with all the free things she is handing out.

i know the manufacturers are swinging for the fence on the show, and all the Oprah zombies are running out with their Visas and Amex cards.

that woman has the Midas touch. but seriously, this is just an infomercial..

I dislike that woman -- she is banned from my TV, along with Martha Stewart.

She has interviewing skills of a pumpkin rotting in a field.

Whatever she says her sheeple will blindly follow.

God help us if she make a bid for the presidency in 2012...

Hey Z, did you hear she is moving to Alpine? Bought a quaint little 6 million$ cabin up there.

Yeah, I did. There goes the neighborhood!! (And the state for that matter!!!!)

I work about 10 minutes from Alpine. On a dark night, I'll probably be able to see her glowing personality from my office!

i agree with Z..Oprah is the soft serve interviewer of the century.

but i cannot ban her show from my TV. my wife likes her "Feel Good" bs, so i let her watch. my home is small, and avoiding the sounds and sight of the show is impossible.

besides, i only watch zombie and hunting shows..so payback is a beotch..my poor wife.

Oprah, Martha, soaps, all on the other side, that other universe that is NOT a mirror. It's the anti- universe.

Throw in Regis and all the morning shows. Hell, throw all daytime TV over there.

I think it would be real fun if Oprah at one time started talking about all sorts of gifts, waited till the whole bunch went completely ape****.. and then casually said, The gifts are there for those who behaved like a true lady... So none of you crazy *****es get anything... y'all should be ashamed of yerselves.

Almost forgot -- Tyra Banks is also on my ban list -- don't even know if she still have a show these days..

And that Wendy Williams person -- I wonder -- she's got MAN HANDS!!

Oh, and Fran Dreschner is going to start a talk show soon -- she's certainly not the voice that has launched a thousand ships....

Rofl. If it's not sports, racing, Discovery, History, or Military Channel, I'm not watching.

I had a hard time making it far enough into the show to see our stuff show up the first time through, I heard the 2nd show was even crazier.

My theory was little people under the bleachers peeling onions, no other explaination for THAT MUCH crying, esp. over the smaller stuff like brownie pans, etc.

I have a wife. A very lovely, responsible and reasonable wife, except for the talk show stuff.

Hey - we all have our faults...

On a side note: Rachael Ray was almost banned from my house until I realized Mrs. Z-man has cooked some delicious meals based on what she saw on RR.

-Z-man.

When we bought our house 4 years ago, my wife was driving me nuts unplugging everything from the walls. Want to read at night, find plug, find outlet turn on lamp. I was getting pissed. Every time I went to turn something on it would be unplugged. All because of Oprah doing a show on saving money and phantom power. I asked my wife if she thought Oprah ran around unplugging everything at her home or had someone do it for her. I solved that problem by unplugging the garage door opener while my wife was gone. When she came home through the front door and said the garage door isn't working, I told her she needs to get the ladder, plug in the opener, pull the van in the garage. Unplug the opener and put the ladder away. After I did that I never had any more trouble with Oprah.
