Meredith is moving on....

Okay, okay, last week Katie Couric, this week Meredith Vieira. I was finally recovering from all the prime-time series tearfests and now it seems the sentimental swansongs have migrated to the morning hours. Hopefully this is the last one for awhile.

It seems that the folks at The View are planning a little something different for Meredith's exit - a little more lowkey - with only three days of dedicated programming and a big planned surprise on her final day, Friday, June 9. I heard part of the surprise was a roast of Meredith with the requisite "This is your life" surprise guests. Maybe the rest of the surprise will be a 3 round bout between Rosie O'Donnell and Star Jones. That might be worth watching.

On a serious note, I'm really worried about Meredith's departure. Does anyone realize that the new lineup will be freaky and mean Star Jones, fluffy and mean Rosie O'Donnell, loud and mean Joy Behar, old and mean Barbara Walters and poor little brainwashed Elizabeth Hassleback. They should change the name to "3 Mouths in the Morning, the absent old lady and the Republican." Okay, maybe not catchy enough, but you know what I mean. I'm sure Meredith and her relative sanity will be missed.

Tune in Friday to witness the big surprise!
