I never understood that myself. I guess she thought she could just coast by on her “brand” but without a daily show, it is wearing out quick.

25 years, I can hardly believe it, but she was a classic even though many people couldn’t stand her and she was wildly wrong on a lot of issues. I guess I could see too how she thought she had cemented her fame and could take a breather. Too bad for Oprah that people didn’t turn out to love Oprah like they loved Lucy.
