    It is surprisingly appealing. Talk shows depend less on the topic at hand than the chemistry in the room, and The Chew has tapped five very different and amusingly mismatched hosts.

    The show doesn't need to be so crowded. [5 Dec 2011, p.46]

    While their chemistry hasn't quite gelled--especially difficult with the show still rushing from segment to segment--there's not a bad apple in the bunch.

    The Chew too often felt overstuffed, as if its celebrity crew were engaged in a speed-talking contest.

    But instead of filling that "AMC" slot with something fresh and new, all we get are stale leftovers.

Just before losing them, the show had really hit its stride. Each host had a role and performed it well, creating a balanced food, health, and entertainment show. The three remaining hosts are trying very hard to keep the spirit of the show alive and well. Each is likeable, talented, and plays an important part. However, they need help. The episodes when Jackie from the culinary staff is featured work well. She helps add balance to the show and seems to have decent chemistry with Clinton, Michael, and Carla. Make her a regular host! Then, maybe have a guest chef host each week. Please keep this show alive!… Full Review »
