Wow. What a mess. It reminded me of Howard Cosell's live "variety" show from decades back -- except worse. I'm a huge Rosie fan, and this was just awful. The most interesting part was the opening with Liza Minnelli, who (like her mother) is always compelling 'live' because you never know if/when she will crash and burn.

Watched the show tonight hoping it would be good.
Sorry!!!! It was the lamest show I have ever watched on TV.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a big fat goose egg and two count them two thumbs down!!!!

I just don't know about this. I thought "meh" when I first heard about it, but then I saw a commercial for it, and that commercial was the Lamest. Thing. Ever. Epic fail. . I'm just not a big Rosie fan - she's allright, but I'm more than likely not going to watch unless I hear some really good things about it.

I will be watching and I hope it's a success. Like her or not at least Rosie is honest and no doubt she has a love for Broadway and television that will hopefully translate to this new show in an entertaining and fun way. We need a little light hearted distraction from so much stress in the world.

Don't know about Rosie, but I'll second P-Luk on the awesomeness of Colbert's special. Will we be getting a current thread to discuss it? JP might have blown his nutmeg by posting on Friday, before the rest of us had a chance to see it.

I hope it is a success, and that it brings back the genre, if for nothing else, than simply to send reality shows to their deserved demise.

Pretty much everything Rosie does is a success (right, Babs?) and rightly so - like her or not, she is an AWESOME entertainer and goes where others don't dare.

NO!! Oh my goodness, when will Rosie GO AWAY?! She is loud and shrill and just very very loud. I actually agree with plenty of her opinions, I just plain don't like her. Her personality is very abrasive (or at least it comes across that way) and I just want her to Go. Away. And live quietly (actually, loudly) outside of my tv somewhere.

I'm definitely planning to watch, but...

after watching Colbert's Christmas Special, I can't help but wonder why that isn't turned into a weekly variety series. It would be brilliant.

Don't know if I'll watch--not sure whether or not I'll be in a place to watch it--but I hope this works for Rosie. I like her a lot, even though I don't always agree with her, but she hasn't seem to have had a real success since her show ended. The magazine and the Broadway show both ended badly and the View threw her out with the trash. So crossing my fingers.
