The Hater Hall of Shame will be having a 5 for 1 special today as we welcome members from one of the worst talk shows in television history.  As individuals, these women are strong, vocal, and opinionated (which is in no way a bad thing).  However, when they come together as a group and debate various issues, things inevitably take a serious turn for the worse - think of them as the anti-Voltron.

The View premiered on ABC in August of 1997, and originally had four co-hosts: Meredith Vieira, Star Jones, Debbie Matenopoulos, and Bawbawa Walters (or Joy Behar).  The premise of this show was simple – assemble a group of modern women to discuss (or debate/argue endlessly) current social & political issues, as well as tabloid and celebrity fodder.  Over the course of twelve years, The View has had ten different co-hosts.  The only original cast members left are Walters and Behar, while six other panelists either quit, or were not brought back for whatever reason.  The show has had its fair share of heated arguments and controversial moments, but that won’t keep these women from polluting the airwaves everday at 11 am for years to come.  I never thought I would say this in any situation ever, but they really need to think about bringing back Rosie O’Donnell…
