farewell to oprah

I just turned off the Oprah Show and am very sad.  She announced that her 25th season, next year, will be her last.  Only 18 more months of Oprah before it is over.  I have never been a faithful follower of the other talk shows.  Most are trivial, campy, and (some) are insulting.  But I watched the Oprah show. She was different.  Oprah never followed any path other than her own. She set high standards for which others sought to achieve.  With thoughtful stories and interesting guests she showed a true respect our intelligence.  I have always wanted to see the show live.  I tried for years to get tickets but it never worked out.  Although her live show will no longer be in production I am sure we will see her in syndication and I bet this is not the last we hear or see of Oprah.  How will I fill my friday 4:00pm fix?  This show was the perfect treat before everyone came home from work and school. Now what?

By the way, have you browsed her website?  I always find a few things new and like to look through the list of upcoming subjects.  Check out the Oprah site here.
