Title to story about Oprah's last show in today's Sun: Oprah bows out with simplicity, gratitude.
Simplicity and gratitude. After flirting with quitting the show for more than a decade. After announcing this would be her last season sometime in 2009. After all the specials and the interviews and everything else leading up to the final week of shows. After setting aside three days for her final three shows including a two-parter filmed at the United Center. After spending the entire final episode standing alone on stage imparting the lessons she has learned over the years. Simplicity and gratitude.

I get irritated watching Oprah and so, I don't do it very often. I found that over the years, she started interrupting people all of the time and a lot of times, she was very rude to her guests. I also found a lot of her shows so inconsequential, and her fad dieting was simply downright dangerous, especially when she drank liquid supplements for six months. However, she's human, she's made mistakes and she's done a LOT of good throughout the years as well. I think her career deserves to be celebrated.
Watched only clips of the flip outs by the likes of Cruise, or her giveaways over the years, but obviously had the touch, and the staying power, to be that "common woman" to which many women are weeping over.Sounds like she didn't full on weep herself on the Finale...and why should she, she's not going anywhere with the empire she's created and wealth accumulated.
She's afforder herself the opportunity to have her own network and produce and shape programming she wants. Whether people buy it is another issue, but she's not going to the poorhouse no matter how it turns out. Plus, she can always revive her show on that network to kickstart ratings if/when they don't get any better than they are now.
Location: In a land without pants, or war, or want. But mostly we care about the pants.

I find it astonishing that people care what Oprah thinks about anything. Unless she has some advice on producing television shows, I guess.
At one time I was hopeful that the Internet would kill television and put an end to most celebrity "advice" getting wide exposure. Too bad that it seems more like that not only do many people still uncritically accept what they see on television, but they apply those same spongy brains to wiping up and luxuriating in the banal secretions of a billion random idiots as well.

Man. I understand everyone has differing tastes in women but.....Oprah to me is like the anti-hot.
I know I met a guy he was about 65ish he was looking at a magazine, he says to me, "wow is she good looking>" Im like cool, thinking its a picture of a hollywood starlet, or some model. Later I look at the magazine, and its Oprah posing as she always does on every cover of her mags. I am like ewwwww gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm almost ashaed to admit how much Oprah I've watched in the past. I was laid up with a back injury for four months, and spent another six months pretty low key. I looked forward to her hooters at 3pm every day.

You sicken me. Turn in your man card and take the position so that I may kick you in the nards.
