End of an Era

... or so Oprah says. I've never been a huge Oprah fan (I do, however, find Gayle to be extremely entertaining.) but I do have to admit that Oprah has had a tremendous impact on American culture in the last 20 years (besides the fact that I can remember all great American milestones with what size Oprah was around).

But in all seriousness, Oprah should be respected for the media mogul she is. She knows how to sell. Look at the influence she has had on Americans concerning James Frey, Obama and of course weight loss. As Joyce McFadden notes The Cultural Importance of Oprah, the lady has made a lot of significant points in her years on television.

What I'm looking forward to, is seeing how she does on cable television — a completely different ballgame than basic cable.

As long as she keeps those trips with Gayle, I'll be happy.
