Oprah..this is a serious question...?!


Question: I'm totally serious when I ask this...would someone please enlighten me as to why she is so popular/entertaining? What is she known for other than doing a talk show for 20 years or so...how did she get such cult status? I know she has HARPO productions and did some acting early in her career and is one of the richest "entertainers" in the world...it seems like people go crazy and listen to everything that she says to read, wear, eat, and do...believe me, I'm not hating on her..good for her..I just don't really understand the "machine" that is Oprah.. Can someone explain this phenomenon to me..I'd just like to know from some of her fans..thanks.

I like Oprah because since her early days til now she has always treated guests with respect, and never leaves a guest less than when they arrived at her show. In her shows she lives her morals and values and I think that a show like that on tv is better than some of the garbage television out there. From day one she seems to have always tried to impart some sort of knowledge to her viewers to the betrement of society. I find her shows are meant to make you feel things like happiness, motivated, or empowered...and dang it works. She is just terrific to watch and listen to....just a really good egg. The things missing now in tv are the things that were missing then...and Oprah has always filled that void.

Some of her popularity has come from her gifts. She's always giving away something on the show. I'd like to go to see what I can get!

I'm not one of her insane fans who thinks her word is the gospel but she has had some very interesting topics and conversations on her show. She also seems to genuinely care about other people and their situations. Not to mention the amount of money she donates to charities and such. I don't know I often ask myself why people are so obsessed with her as well.

You need to listen to her ideas and concepts and realize she is a free thinker, she see's what is possible to help societies progress individual people see their potential--then she just aims to knock out what is prohibbiting good things from being carried out--and gets to the solution, to change the face of this world. That's what's DIFFERENT about Oprah She DOES while others talk!!

The whole mechanics you're referring to doesn't depend on the person as much as the beliefs. They jurisdict the behavior and which jurisdicts the actions. The actions create the responses and Bingo the reality. Of course there's a few basic requirements any leader type of individual must adhere to (trust me those who are know them - I won't get into that) on a par but for example one would be not deviating too far from what's socially exceptable. Anyone else who demanded as much from their life would get the same. Donald Trump for example. It's not only the scale of the endeavor but the scale of the personality behind it. Make everything you do big and you can help but result in like kind. And so you know, psychologically speaking - people know what someone is doing by what they say they're not doing. "I'm not being judgmental but..." and then they proceed to be judgemental. It's common.

My mom started watching her when she first began broadcasting nationally. I think a lot of her popularity came from the types of guests she had on her show and the types of topics she covered. While Maury Povich and Sally Jesse Raphael were having all the drama, Oprah (while still having some drama) dealt with some crazy but intellectual topics. She didn't treat her audience like they were stupid.
These days, she has sooo much money she can do crazy things like give everyone cars, but she still covers smart topics.
