Aren’t comedians supposed to be funny?

Just curious...Did Orca Winfrey put any of her own money into her OWN network? Blowing $150 million in less than 9 months - she's aspiring to be another Obama!

Yeah. Counting on a fat, foul-mouthed, ignorant, ugly lesbian troll to bail out your flailing network is a sure recipe for success.

Put your eggs in that basket and she’ll make a cheese omelet out of them.

The article does not state where the 150M originated. Was it from the (failed) stimulus? Just asking.

Oprah: My network is struggling. What I need to save it is a fat, ugly, boorish dyke with the personality of a Tasmanian Devil. Yeah, that's the formula for success.

The 2 uber-liberals deserve each other. Both are a waste of fresh air.

Oprah Winfrey, TV’s greatest hit-maker, is counting on Rosie O’Donnell to save her struggling cable network.

How desperate do you have to be to turn to Rosie O'Donnell to bail you out? LOL!

A big problem they have is OWN was placed on the higher tiers of cable systems. Fewer people subscribe to these more expensive services so a big portion of the cable audience who would watch if they could are just shut out.

Oprah previously had a different cable network, “Oxygen” aka “Oh”. It didn’t set the world on fire but I liked how she had it set up. It was sold to NBC who as they do with most of their properties made it unwatchable.

Rosie can’t stand being told what to do and Oprah can’t stand having employees not doing what they are told. At some point Rosie will go off her meds again and get in a fight with Oprah. She can’t help it. Then the actual entertainment begins.

Maybe they should also include Roseanne Barr.

Can the stand-up comic . . . do for OWN what, say, “South Park” did for Comedy Central?

Rosie blew that "queen of nice" facade after she left her prior talk show. She let the mask slip and let everyone see the petty, nasty, raging Liberal lunatic underneath. Perhaps she could do a comedy routine of her "greatest" hits though--like telling her producer that she hopes her cancer spreads and she dies.

Kinda’ sounds like a drowning woman grabbing onto the hand of another drowning woman to save her and expecting a good outcome.

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’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.
