Oprah's 19th season began yesterday.
And damn if she didn't start her show off with a bang. She gave 11 lucky viewers a car...then told the rest of the audience that one of them held a key to a car themselves. When she asked them to look into their gear to see which one held the 12th key, the audience members were shocked to find they ALL held keys.
Oprah (through GM) gave each of her audience members cars.
She also bought a house (complete with Crate and Barrel and Best Buy makeover) for a mother of 8 foster children.
She had Tyra Banks give a personal makeover to a college student who was formerly homeless, as well as a photoshoot in Lucky (i THINK that's the name of the magazine).
I came to the conclusion a few years ago that Oprah wanted to start her own religion. I think she's well on her way.
There is a relationship between the Oprah dynamic, and the Cosby critique that is worth fleshing out. I don't think I have the time to do it though.
Yeah I caught this episode. I appreciate the work that Oprah does, but sometimes her fans border on massive idolotry. Thanks for th Cosby /Orpah thoughts...you may've given me something worth fleshing out too.
Oh, and the magazine wasn't Lucky, it was actually, Jane. But who's nitpicking.

GM came up with the ideal to launch their new car,give Ophrah credit for okaying the advertising blitz.I belive your right LKS she one powerful sister who has the ability to make a company rich or a author sell, sounds like pie in the sky to me(religion).
