Loose women

If it’s on while I’m waiting for the News to start I mute the sound.

I did the same. For decades. Treated it like a magazine and watched the segments that I thought would be of interest. Great, interesting and knowledgeable panelists.

Then about five years or so ago, the panelists became mainly younger and brainless. It annoyed me that they were discussing important political and news items when it was obvious that they didn't even share one brain cell between them.

I continued recording but only watched if Janet Street Porter or Jane Moore were appearing - knowing that at least they would understand what was being discussed and respond knowledgeable and intelligently.

But a few months ago I took it off of 'Series Record', as even JSP and JM couldn't save it after the really really terrible studio revamp; such an ugly eyesore. And the decision to not have an live audience left it soulless. It all just all comes across as so so fake and contrived.

I haven't missed it.

I've occasionally caught bits of it when I turned on the TV and have to say that I thought is was complete rubbish.

I stopped watching a few years ago just seemed like a lot of women talking over each other

I’ve never seen a full episode of this, I only see it when it’s on in my hairdressers
It appears to me these so called celebrities are getting paid good money to just sit there and gossip about people, not for me really

It’s rubbish.

Anything where Katie Price appears has me reaching for the off switch.

I thought it had been taken off! It’s just plain tripe!

A good percentage of the "trash" on tv is/was Loose Women. Dross.

It has a reduced slot because a lot of viewers think it’s trash.

They can reduce it to nil as far as I'm concerned.

I read the first sentence and thought the OP was being sarcastic. I think you’ve opened a can of worms gransruleok. Loose Women has always been trash,

I used to watch it - I thought it was off-air !

Each to their own but never watched this programme in full. I thought it was trash.
