I heard she was going back to MSNBC, but if she is staying at ABC, good.

Last year, they hired Wallace and Perez literally in the first week of September. Plus, they had an extra week before the show premiered so that's why they had a cast photo out on time. This time around, the hiring was done in August, yet i'm not sure why they waited this long to get the promos, photoshoots, sound bites out. I'm curious to see if Whoopi and Joy's friendship/relationship will become strained, and how their chemistry will play off on air. Last year, you could make the case that Rosie O. was hard to work with and Whoopi's attitude was justified, but if she continues to act like a bitch this season then there will be no justifying it. I'm sure she was blindsided by Joy's return and the move to live tapings on friday's but then again the show/producers/network don't answer to her. Hell, at $5 million bucks a year, she's the last person that should be complaining. Not many people in this world have such a plush gig that only requires you to show up to work for a few hours a day, 4 days a week. As for the music, I think that they wanted it to be hip/modern ala "The Real" or "The Talk". Sadly, they completely threw away a good update and disregarded such a recognizable signature in the process.

I liked the changes made at the beginning of the season: Nicolle, Rosie P., Rosie O's return (yes, even thar), the new set, and the updated theme. I wish that theme stayed, and tha Nicolle never left, but I'm looking forward to Joy's return and what this new season will bring. And I loved this version of the theme. Miles more than the one they used for seven seasons. So smooth, so catchy and so awesome.

Reminds me of this old logo used by WCAV in Charlottesville, VA.

Really? Where did you hear this? Wonder why they're replacing the floor...maybe the lazy Susan is messed up. Orange room is going to become more like social square likely. Its an interesting theory. I saw tweets from Savannah saying a new desk and couch is coming. I really want to know what to expect and actually see it!
