Today Oprah will launch the long goodbye. She knows how to put on a show. I have been watching her from her first days in Chicago. Oprah made us love her because she made us think we knew her. She made us think she was one of us and she understood our struggles, but over the years we still took pride in her incredible success, but we knew she was different. Oprah started to change and her show and her choice of guests showed she was a different Oprah with an entirely different world view. For me she was no longer must see television. Now I occasionally watch her, but to me Oprah has been moving away from her core audience for years. So I’m sure people will be flooding the website and the Harpo phones trying to get a ticket to the show before it is over, but it was over for me a long time ago.
