The American audience just ain’t what it used to be!
We now spend Thanksgiving eve at the bars, not in front of the TV with our families. And if we ARE watching TV? We wanna see gunfire and explosions and sex and gore, not singing and dancing.
Rosie’s variety show, which aired Wednesday night on NBC, only brought in 5M viewers, a very tragic number for a major special on a major network.
I bet when MTV airs its Britney documentary on Sunday night it’ll match or beat those numbers, despite being on a cable network.
America loves its DRAMA!
She needs to lose weight regardless of anything else, to be around for those children she has taken on. Not counting the fact that she looks like crap. Not advocating skinnyness here, but she’s just a blob at this point. Just get back a slight semblance to a human form.
WHAT THE HELL IS HER ANGLE ON THINGS, IS IT< I had a tragic childhood, so feel sorry for me? I’m not afraid of looking like an ass, I’m a comedian that only talks about serious issues? Or I’m a dike no! I’m a bull dike so F-you? She’s just so strange, ”And’ she won’t go away.
The show was bloody awful…I watched 10 or 15 minutes and I only watched that much because of the train-wreck factor…
Did anyone here actually watch this? It was mind-blowingly terrible.
I watched. It seemed like a show she created just to amuse herself. Not the makings for good tv.
More like America hates fat mouth Rosie O’Donnell
STFU ROSIE
The endless ranting in her blogs & all the catfighting has only made America tired of her. It’s really damaged her image. She went from American sweetheart to loud mouth whiney bitch.
@ Shelia. That was real harsh Tai. But you are correct.
Variety shows were popular in the 70’s when cable and the Internet was plentifu. I would rather watch the reruns of Lucy or the Andy Griffith show.
Rosie is nothing like her name. She comes off bitter and angry. Not much variety there.
WTF does her weight have to do with it? What a lame comment.
I missed the show because I don’t watch much tv, to be frank.
Rosie has gone the way of Roseanne. They are two incredibly funny, unafraid (and UNskinny) women who, when dabbling in the different, gave mass America its final wanna-be justification to annihilate them. And Bill fucking O’Reilley stays on the air. Bill “falafel sponge” O’Reilly gets top ratings. It’s not about scandal or faux pas or even talent. It’s all about shutting up a certain type of woman. There, I said it. IOW, even if her show was below par, the same could be said for 99% of the crap that sells ads these days. It’s ok to be crappy if you’re fit-the-mold crappy.
She’s never ever been funny, as long as your entitled to your opinion here’s mine, you want honesty? lets call a pig a F-ing pig! Agents hustle in Hollywood, (lose translation is kiss ass) Nothing She’s ever done has added up to talent, you might as well just put her in the same room with Jennifer(we told you we were tired 10 yrs ago) Lopez. NO TALENT FOR EITHER ONE JUST HYPE!
The night before Thanksgiving people are doing one of the following:
-cooking
-fighting over the last yams at the supermaket
-travelling
-plotting Friday’s shopping spree
By the time they get settled, it’s way past prime time.
It’s not 1962. How could you even think this form of entertainment, which died in the 70’s, would be even palatable in this day and age? Hey Rosie, why not bring back silent movies and vaudeville. I don’t know what network this is on, I have watched the 3 majors *hee* in a few years, but whoever okayed that show needs to be fired for stupidity.
She’s a nice woman, and god knows her heart is in the right place on most things but GAW why a variety show? I hope her next project is better thought out, and more successful.
I don;t think her weight is a problem, plenty of hefty successful people out there. I think it has more to do with the fact that she is looking more and more like an angry Rottweiler as she ages, and frankly, sorta acting like one too.
Yes, good, angry Rotweiler describes her well. Lots of people are fat, but she’s angry and fat, not a happy fat person. And some people don’t look this bad with extra weight on them. She looks gross, almost unpalatable. Looking at a blob of flesh that doesn’t really have a form to it is not pleasing.People really don’t want to look at this. Some people are heavy but they look much better than her. She doesn’t carry it well. And she is going to die young. It is irresponsible for her to have taken on those children and then eat the way she does. I’m not skinny but you can still see where my various body parts start and stop.
Hey GetYourAdverbs,
Appreciated all you said, very insightful and well said.
Thank you.
We love the train wrecks; Britney style… and love the fact that this pompous, obnoxious bore’s show tanked… Funny how she kept quiet for months; none of her inane blogging about Prop 8, the elections, nothing for this media whore; because she didn’t want to offend the network and have this lameass excuse for entertainment pulled. Hope they trash this on that other insufferable piece of dreck “the view”… TEAM HASSELBECK
What’s a “falafel sponge?”

Click the link then read number four. Not sure if it’s appropriate to paste it here, as it’s a rather vile quote from Bill O’Reilley. The nimrod was trying to refer to a loofah.
Aside from being very tough to watch……was it really necessary to have one segment where Alec Baldwin “attempts” to pick her up in his arms??? Her legs became spread-eagle and he looked as if he was going to have a massive coronary!!
Well said Shelia! Angry, fat, unpleasant to look at.
i loved her show. keep on.
America is tired of this ignorant fool. She had an opportunity to voice her opinion… she took it, removing any doubt as to what a obnoxious fool she is and America voted not to watch her crap anymore no matter how much the liberal alphabet channels want to force feed us this crap!
Rosie, time for permant hibernation!!!
i can never get past that smile, that incredibly ugly smile!
like shes on the crapper and things aren’t going well
I can’t stand Rosie O’Donnell and wouldn’t watch anything she was on.
Oh, and I can’t stand Elizabeth Hasselbeck either.
Why, oh why do networks keep giving this obnoxious blowhard another chance?
ya know…some families don’t spend their thanksgiving in bars OR in front of the tv. God forbid we enjoy a night without some superficial entertainment!!
p.s. no one likes rosie. maybe thats why the ratings sucked!
