Poll: What Do You Think of Whoopi?
 

I've enjoyed the show Whoopi since it first debuted. What are some of your thoughts on the show?

I've never seen it because generally I can't stand Whoopi.

Seen it once. Once was enough. :down:

I am not a big fan of Whoopi Goldberg so I've never had any interest in tuning into the show

Whoopi is basically just the black version of Will & Grace where you throw out the "gayism" for "balckism".

I HATE WHOOPI!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

I love balckism!

Balki is back on the air?

"Cousin Larry!!!"

I wish...

As a small child I always thought he was saying "Carson".

Carson is back on the air?

Yep

I've never been a fan of Whoopi and I don't care for her politics. In spite of that, I like the show. It's funnier than most sitcoms and her Persian handyman has a good chemistry with her.

I love Whoopi but haven't seen her show. I don't even know when it airs.

Lucky bastard.



Whoopi's a big loser. She even admits it in her most recent t.v. commercials for Slim Fast.

When I think of Woopi Goldberg, I'm like :yack:

Never seen it.

I don't know too much about her politics but I love the show. I missed the pilot and was hoping to catch it during reruns, but they didn't air it.

I also think the Persian Handyman, Nasim, and she have great chemistry and do well together.

Dang, dude. You should give your wife more support.

Agree with the <b>Goose</b> and the returning Goddess: it's a surprisingly funny show, but then I've never had the carnal hatred of Whoopi that some people have. It's also a fairly unique show which, in this age of clone network programming, is rather refreshing at times.

Yea, I don't hate her. I have seen her stand up twice and she's absolutely hysterical.

das - I was going to ask you this. What's the deal with Rita? Glenn was telling me her character is a wigger? Can you elaborate on that? Is that irritating to you or do you find her funny? Courtney reminds me of Carlton from Fresh Prince. And that just kills me.

Elaborate on the term "wigger"? Not a particularly nice word, but it's a subculture of Whites that go over the top acting like some near cartoonish urban Black stereotype, the "w" standing for "white." I find the contrast between Rita and Carlton pretty funny, and I love how Whoopi makes fun of Rita's attempts to act like a sista', but Rita by herself is just annoying. In fact anyone who acts that way is annoying. Still, I love that they have the guts to satirize such cartoonish behavior, since there are many people who do in fact act just like that.

Spoken like a Utahn! ;)

(... of course she's seen that... but I thought we were talking about a tv show!)

Okay, sorry, didn't mean to say a naughty word. Do you feel they're doing this to push the envelope? You're not the first person to say they find her annoying. I knew kids who were white that grew up in the "hood" and they do kind of talk that way. I thought it was because of the environment. They talked like the kids they hung out with. Mavis' reaction to her is just too funny. I love when Rita said to her, "Do you like my new gear? Isn't it fly?" Her response, "Horse fly or house fly?" I loved that. I hope the show continues to improve and pushes some boundries. I think there's a lot of potential here. I'm sticking with it.

Also, I should specify not all of the black kids I knew growing up acted like that and not all of the white kids I knew that grew up in black neighborhoods acted like that either, but I did know some. I reread what I typed and realized that could be taken more than one way and I thought I should clarify that.

I can definitely say that this season of Whoopi has been 100 percent more enjoyable than last season.
