Rosie O’Donnell’s TV history is repeating itself — and, as in the past, it’s getting ugly.
O’Donnell’s talk show, “The Rosie Show,” is imploding just five months after launching on Oprah Winfrey’s little-watched OWN cable network.
Not only is “The Rosie Show” a ratings disaster — it averaged just 150,000 viewers last week — but O’Donnell is selling her $2.5 million mansion in Chicago, where the show tapes, and reportedly wants to move the production to New York. That would leave producer Harpo with empty, expensive, unused studio space it might not want to surrender so easily.

Adding fuel to the fire are reports in the Chicago media that “The Rosie Show” is plagued by a lack of focus, a cranky, erratic, disinterested host and a backstage power struggle between Team Rosie and Winfrey loyalists who worked on the now-defunct “Oprah” and are at odds with O’Donnell.
It now seems that what’s worked for O’Donnell in the past isn’t working anymore.

OK you Meatheads ... this is getting serious ... there is nothing worse for an in-your-face bull dyke libtard than to be ignored ... so, get off your dead ends ... and rant!
This story can’t be right — after all, we are talking about “The Queen of Nice.”
ONE approached our Hollywood company to produce their “talent show’, which should debut in the fall as casting is still ongoing. Happened 3 weeks back. It’s like a cross between a gay parade and American Idol’. We knew how to market the show etc, but we wanted to see the Nielsen analysis report.
The Nielsen analysis report is like the Q rating for upcoming show. Usually it’s buzz-driven. They, ONE, wouldn’t show it to us. It means the numbers are not there and we were just dancing with each other. We just politely passed. Yeah, we met Oprah..(she’s fatter than Moo-chelle)
OINK OINK!
(Fat slob in ratings nosedive alert)
I was so hoping the fat slob and ratings nosedive was Orca Win-fried.
I cannot believe 150,000 people actually watched this ugly fat Bull Dyke.
Can you please warn readers about this photo? Please. My cat just had a heart attack.
Almost choked on my lunch seeing her man hair-—I bet she acually looks like that when the clothes come off. Now I may loose my lunch for painting that picture.
Hard to believe she was once the “Queen of Nice” when she had a light hearted talk show.
Seems like the last dozen or more years, that Rosie is pissed off all the time. So much for the Queen of Nice persona.................
I’m going to have to scrub my mind with a wire brush and lye soap after that one
I bet people stopped naming their daughters Rosie.
Maybe Rosie thinks there are more fat ignorant queers that would watch her show if produced in NYC.

Strangely enough, Rosie’s original show was actually entertaining in the days before the Tom Selleck incident.
Maybe Vince McMahon can do something with this: Rosie versus Oprah at Wrestlemania. They’ll have to reinforce the ring.
I had no idea that Rosie was even “bankable” anymore. Oprah normally can pick winners, but what was she thinking by hiring O’Donnell? Even the Gayle King show looks more plausible as a success. OWN is going down the toilet. Before it’s all over I wager that Oprah will lose roughly a billion of her own dollars, unless she pulls the plug on the network.
Put Oprah and Rosie in a mudpit and let them duke it out.
Sorry guy - just had to do it. But then I could have used ... Nope, would have been worse.
