You can't do a nice variety show in todays crude culture, it won't work.

I'm not so certain about that. If a network would put on a show that was actually, ummm... entertaining, I'm fairly sure that it would draw a decent sized audience. It sounds like the Rosie O freak show just wasn't all that entertaining.

yea I agree...where's Ed Sullivan when you need him..
I would like to see a good variety entertaining show, without any political overtones, then the crap they call sitcoms out there any time...
which rosie wasn't, isn't, and never could be
