ReplyDeleteThe only reason The Talk has increased numbers is because NOBODY is watching that other dumb show, THE REVOLUTION, which is aired at the same time on a different network. Wait until General Hospital moves to the same hour slot as The Talk and they will be talked out and over by General Hospital. Can't wait to see the numbers at this time next year. The Talk will be cancelled and those non-stop women can shut up talking about irrelevant nonsense! Yay!!
