People WeeklyTerry KelleherJun 26, 2013
Season 1 Review: Behar is the true star. She's funny, likable (without sacrificing irreverence) and sensible. She's much too good to be sidelined an average of two days a week. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyKen TuckerJun 12, 2013
Season 1 Review: For a guy like me, The View is a nice cheap thrill — gee, is thiswhat it's like to be at a multigenerational pajama party? And if the whooping enthusiasm of the mostly female studio audience is any measure, it's a party women are also glad to be invited to. Read full review

Season 18 Review: This respectable, illuminating View was also--let’s face it--kind of boring.... It’s kind of a comfort, and even exciting, that these four very intelligent, very congenial women with an abundance of respect for each other are going to be the ones helming it. Read full review

Season 18 Review: A flawed if promising start for a tough old veteran that proved it's still got some fight--and talk--left. Read full review

Season 18 Review: Only time will tell how well the chemistry holds up and evolves among the central quartet, but despite all the changes (including a new showrunner), The View hasn’t done much more than rearrange--and perhaps reupholster--the chairs. Read full review

Season 18 Review: Most of what went on in between was rather stilted, which is to be expected when new hosts take over a long-established show, and this one has been around for 17 years. But even on Day 1, there were signs of where The View is headed, and it’s likely to be more tame. Read full review
