CBS Replaces ‘As The World Turns’ With ‘View-Like’ Chat Show

After 54 years on the air, CBS is replacing daytime soapAs The World Turns with it’s own version of The View. Often referred to as’ the mom show’, the new all female chat show created by former Roseanne actress Sara Gilbert will look at current issues through the eyes of mothers.

Sources on Wednesday confirmed the plans for the show, which is also set to feature panelists Julie Chen, Holly Robinson Peete, Sharon Osbourne and Leah Remini. All mothers with kids from varying ages from toddlers to teenagers.

I don’t usually watch daytime talk shows..at all. But the randomness of the co-host might make this an interesting show.
Oh ..just an FYI…Julianne Moore, James Earl Jones, Dana Delany, Meg Ryan and Marisa Tomei, Jordana Brewster, Parker Posey, Jason Biggs and Martin Sheen all has parts on As The World Turns early in their careers. I bet this new mom show won’t be able to say that in 50 years.

CBS has ordered a new daytime talk show for fall 2010 featuring a panel of well-known news and entertainment personalities who will examine topical events and contemporary issues through the eyes of mothers. The daily, one-hour series will be co-hosted by Julie Chen, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur. The co-hosts—moms with children ranging in age from infant to adult—will swap stories, challenge each other on issues and engage the studio audience and viewers at home about events in the headlines and their own homes through the lens of motherhood. Show segments will include guest interviews with entertainers and newsmakers, live remotes from the field and personal home footage shot by the co-hosts themselves. The show was developed by Gilbert, who also serves as executive producer.
