Now for my comments:
Of course I have always been a FAN of Holly Robbinson Peete! What's not to LOVE! Peete, is the ESSENCE of Womanhood! She is a Wife, Mother, Career Woman, Involved in all types of Community Service and to top all that off she is such a Beautiful Woman of Color!
Watching her for the first time when I was a child on the the sitcom "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper I instantly related to her comedy but was blown away by her charisma and her charm! I read every article I can get my hands on that's about her especially when its about Children with Learning Differences! I love to just see what she's up to next!
Of course I'm choosing to highlight Holly, because like EVERYONE I watch TV because I relate to one of the Host or Cast Members.
I think the TALK has Amazing Hosts! I think they have The VIEW beat! At least when it comes to Women in my Demographic which are women between 25-35! The Women on the show are all very Accomplished, Fashion Forward, Independent thinking Individuals that have a flare for communicating their unique perspective! DIVERSITY is always the best INGREDIENT to any SHOW, OFFICE, TV Network, Church, or Community!
