Taking Some Time To See "The View"



OK, you got us - Maria and I spent Monday morning attending a taping of ABC's "The View" -- which, you may have heard, is in town this week (in time for sweeps). The "View" crew shot a live show in the morning, and then pre-taped the Thursday episode (which is the one we were at).

Because it was pre-taped, the "Hot Topics" were kept to a minimum; instead, the show was heavy on guests -- including the men of "Desperate Housewives" and singer Keyshia Cole.

We got an upclose view of the stage -- and kept a close eye as the hosts interacted off camera. I gotta say, they do seem to get along well, rumors be damned. Sherri kept showing Joy something on her Blackberry; Barbara agreed to a last-minute plug to a comedy show that Whoopi and Joy are doing next week. Even Elizabeth was mellow. Nope, that's not as exciting as watching them battle, but I suppose everyone's on their best behavior while on location.

A few shots:
