Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, The View Season 6 is worth clearing space for. The production behind The View Season 6 knows exactly which moments to let breathe. Season 6 saw the departure of Lisa Ling, following three seasons on the show, and the arrival of former "Survivor" contestant Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Meredith Vieira and Joy Behar lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The View Season 6 understands the difference between manufactured drama and the real thing, and leans on the latter. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

The View Season 6 is impossible to watch casually — expect strong opinions. It has built its own audience without needing a direct comparison. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Meredith Vieira is a big part of why it works, but the format itself is the real star. The kind of thing that generates strong opinions in every room it is watched in.
