I like some of the things going on @ OWN, but clearly Rosie is not the same draw as the O - and if they think she could be - they’re nuttier than I thought.

It will be interesting to see how O the business woman reinvents herself. Having NEVER watched an Oprah show, I really enjoyed watching the BEHIND THE SCENES series, where they laid out how each show was put together. (I never watched the Obama visit BTS... have a weak stomach right now)

Most interesting was the Bush interviews. This show was triggered by 43’s book coming out, and she read it in prep for the show.

O was SHOCKED that she didn’t know the state/federal linkage (or lack thereof) that caused a lot of the problem with Katrina, and she gave 43 her platform to discuss it.

Well if you only read the MSM POV, you only read one side. She does have a brain, there are just a HUGE amount of filters that I don’t think will ever change.

I wish you would be a little more straightforward, and tell us what you REALLY think.

I’m no fan of Oprah personally, but I’m a fan of any new network providing jobs for my industry.

And this article is simply wrong about the network producing “no hits.” They just haven’t had enough hits. “Behind the scenes” did very well and cost next to nothing to produce. “The Judds” and the “Shania Twain” show also did well.

I don’t get all the animus directed at a struggling start-up when CBS still has a broadcast license after nearly throwing a presidential election with fake memos. THAT’S something to get mad about.
