After mixing around formats for months, the Rosie Show has a new format...oblivion.
First it was a mix between Rosie's old show and what Oprah's old show was, then it was a in depth one on one show in a brightly colored basement. There was an auidence and band then they were gone, then they were in Chicago and went to New York. It was never the same show whenever I watched it, and it was always by accident that I ever watched it at all.
The cancelation I do find surprising, but wonder how much politics was involved. I was surprised to see Rosie O'Donnel take over for Pierse Morgan last night on CNN. She is a great interviewer and I wondered, what happened to your own show. It was not until today it was revealed that she has no show anymore. I couldn't find it on OWN in Canada last night no I have no idea what's it status is. In the press release it was announced that the last show would go on the air March 30th in the US.
I know I keep writing about OWN which is quickly turning into one of the biggest flops for a cable channel in history. On that note no other channel came in with this much hype before. On the heels of the most sucessful syndicated talk show ever many thought that Oraph's magic could translate to 24 hour television. For the most part it was had been decent but there is no shock value. That may be a good thing, but it dosen't do much to keep viewers in on a regular basis.
The most irritating thing about the high expectation is the lack of paitence. Yes it was a mess with Rosie changing shows every week, but it needed time to find it's voice and when your on the back of the dial you should be allowed to develop.
Perhaps we'll see Rosie on CNN more often now.
