I work 3rd shift so unfortunately, I get to see my fair share of day-time television. But the one show that makes me want to hurl is \*\* The View\*\*. That show is so repulsive. Four women, who look like the Avon lady threw up on them, sitting around a table, which unfortunately you can see under, trying to out-wit eachother about meaningless topics. To hell with the gas chamber or lethal injection, strap someone down with tooth picks on their eye lids and make them watch that crap. That would lead to a crime free America. ---

My vote would go to any soap opera. ---

Well, how about **The Other Half**? Same show as above, but with four men (all has-been actors). ---

Passions. But Passions is also the “best” daytime show for that very reason. It’s so bad, that I love watching it just to see what contrived, overused, incredibly clichéd, illogical plot twists they’ll come up with next, or how bad the special effects will be the next time Charity is confronted by demons from Hell, and so on. I used to be addicted to Days of Our Lives for that very reason, but it seems to have grown a -bit- less campy now that Passions is out there. 😃 ---

Passions is pretty evil, but Oprah is THE EVIL SPAWN OF SATAN!!!
