T-TimeChitChatTV, I kinda' like the sound of that...

Have you ever watched “THE VIEW”? At the top of every show Barbara Walters says, “I have this idea for a show" or something like that. Well not to steal her phrase but, "I have an idea for a show".

A while back I heard that Oprah Winfrey was going to have her own cable network called OWN.I think my idea would be perfect for her network. Now how do I get my idea to her? Then it was announced on the Oprah Show….BAM…she’s looking for people with ideas to host their OWN show. So I recorded my bit and for one reason or another it didn’t get uploaded to the site. Then last Friday I was in KOHL’S. They were playing 90’s pop music and then there she was, Oprah. haunting me. Okay it was just a commercial but it felt like she was speaking to me.So, I’m stepping out of my comfort zone…Take a look at my show idea and if you like it please vote as many times as you can before the 4^th of July. Thanks.
