The end of Oprah and the scream heard around the world
I’m a little behind on watching The Oprah Winfrey Show, so it was with great surprise that I recently discovered that my beloved idol, Oprah Winfrey, will be bringing her show to an end in September 2011. Upon hearing her utter the ill-fated words, “The countdown to the end of The Oprah Winfrey Show starts now”, I fell to my knees and let out a scream heard around the world.
The Oprah Show is ending? I feel a panic attack coming on. My palms are sweaty. I feel nauseous. I think my throat is closing up. How will I go on? How will any of us go on? We can’t be reduced to watching Dr. Phil.
After breathing into a paper bag for a few minutes, I realized that all hope is not lost. First, O, The Oprah Magazine will still be placed in my mailbox every month. Second, Oprah.com will continue. Third, I can still hear Oprah and her disciples on Oprah Radio. Finally, Oprah will be appearing on a new network called OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network. This is her own twenty-four hour television network: all Oprah, all the time.
We are saved!
