Wasn't that established in another thread?

Excuse me, but I just copied that off my AOL homepage today.

And YES there were other threads as well.

Thanks!
Have a nice evening!

Here's the rest that I copied TODAY
-------------------------------------
Nov. 28) - NBC had high hopes for 'Rosie Live,' her variety special airing the night before Thanksgiving. But the show tanked, tying for the evening's lowest-rated program.
5 million viewers tuned in for the program, according to The Hollywood Reporter's James Hibberd, with the program earning a 1.2 preliminary adults 18-49 rating.
According to THR, NBC had high hopes for the special and planned to expand the program into a series should viewers re-embrace the decades-old variety format. Other networks, too, were watching closely since several are developing variety shows of their own.
"There's a notion that the climate is right for the genre to make a comeback," emailed one executive at a rival network. "I guess we now know what not to do, thanks to Rosie."

Ok. Just didn't want to beat a dead horse.

Take care.

I think a new variety show would be nice, but they need it hosted by someone a little more likeable.

You said a mouthful, Maryann.

I watched the entire show, but knew 10 minutes into it that is was going to fail. It was very "Rosey", selfserving and fawning over her friends. It was a waste of time and certainly talent. I wanted it to be a good show, because it has been so long since we had anything like a variety show, and I am so bored with all of the reality shows.

The concept would have been a breath of fresh air if it had worked. These endless reality shows are just so lame.
I'm sure Rosie isn't too concerned, though.
There were alot of quality shows which were cancelled. Now that's worth a discussion.

I read on the one other thread about whether or not some of the KTers were going to watch. Maybe I missed another thread, but I didn't see anything before now about any sort of reviews on the show. I was curious to know how the tv show itself would rate.

Thanks for the info Glenda, I found it interesting. :)

I hope the rest of your night is nice.

In case they were missed, there were some reviews on this one:

Here is a link that might be useful: Some reviews on this thread

Seems to me that Glenda can't win for losing. She never knows what kind of reaction she will get. 99% of the KT posters really care for Glenda and then there are a few who have to throw a monkey wrench in there. I've been here for years and have seen it many times.
Just be kind or don't go into her topics if you can't be respectful.

I'm just giving a different point of view, that's all...I don't feel disagreeing is unkind. I don't mind when people disagree with me, anyway. I just call it "discussion".

I don't know anything about all the"many times" you have seen it before, I haven't a clue. Not sure if you're saying Glenda tends to have this problem,,,? Never mind...it's none of my concern.

Me and my peers disagree with each other all the time, and it's no big deal. We just don't attach emotion to it, I guess.

There are many things that are discussed more than once here. I've seen the posts about the same subject more times than I can count! But since not everyone is here every day, and things do move fast on this board, I don't mind it.

I agree with nodakgal. Let's be nice.

I'm not one to wish ill will towards anyone, but it certainly doesn't bother me to see that her show has flopped. I think she's a hypocritical, not so nice person.

I don't watch the reality shows simply because I don't watch that much tv. I would like to see a variety show similar to Carol Burnette's old show. Of course they would have to find someone to make me laugh as much as Tim Conway. I love that man.

Linda

Disagreeing with someone isn't being "not nice", it's just disagreeing, plain and simple. If I brought up that I didn't like Rosie or any other celebrity to my friends three days in a row, they would tell me to stop obsessing. And I would STILL consider them to be friends. I don't buy into that "if you agree with me, you're my friend; and if you disagree with me, you're my enemy" mentality. Should we not have left that behind in grade school?

I agree with Linda on one thing though. Those old Carol Burnette shows were fantastic!

I watched about the first 2 guests, Liza and the tap dancers. Turned it off for something better. Poor Liza, she had to sing with Rosie and neither one of them sounded good at all. It bombed big time. I doubt it will be picked up as a regular show. She doesn't have the talent to host a variety show. Rosie needs to stick to movies and talk shows. I like her in those. NancyLouise

I like Rosie as a comedian, I enjoyed her discussions on View. Her abrasiveness repells many people I think becasue it is truthful but not well phrased. She cares little for politically correct. She has some marvelous qualities and talent for many things but that show was the worst of the variety shows I have ever seen. I am old enough to remember the Ed Sullivan Show, Merv Griffin's, Carol Burnett along with many others over the years. Rosie's show was a miserable flop IMO. I recorded it becasue I had way to much company to watch live. I started to watch and the commercials were more interesting than the actual show. I turned it off and deleted the program after about 12 minutes. I just wish she would pick neutral, fem or butch and quit switching back and forth. LOL.

I watched it for 5 minutes, she had this very self-conscious conversation with Clay Aiken, not good, I turned it off.

Like I have been told on this forum, if you don't like the subject of the post, move on to the next one.
I like Rosie, but was disappointed by this show. I hope she re-groups and puts on a show more suited to her comedic talent.
Did any one catch Ellen D."s variety show last night. That was a terrific show. Dottie

Your reply wasn't disagreeing....it was chiding a poster for daring to bring up a subject that was in another post.

How would you feel if you walked into a room, sat down and mentioned this article...and someone dismissed you with "we already talked about it", then turned their back on you?

I missed Ellen and didn't get it recorded either. I think she is another wonderful comedian and talented in many ways. Her talk show is usually funny and interesting with a lot of variety in guests and subjects.

CT

I didn't mean for it to come off that way, but it has happened that I've brought up stuff that has just been discussed, and people let me know that it's been covered. It happens to everyone. Usually we just laugh and go on. It happened to my friend the other day in a meeting. We all giggled about it, and she made a joke.

I didn't turn my back on anyone though.

Let it go! Read or don't read a post but please stop changing the topic to berate a person who thought she was being nice by pointing out there was more than one thread on the subject. Good gracious if we all waste time and energy to worry or complain about all the silly things, how will we solve the real problems?
Such as:
How much chocolate does it take to make the Bomb of a Variety Show forgotten? or Where would I insert the tube if I had to give the Earth and ennema?

CT

Ok, I'll let it go after this, because I have things to do. But:

1-I didn't change the topic, I was responding to people who were addressing me on certain points.

2-She has a right to her opinion about Rosie, no argument there, but there was no way she thought she was being nice in any way. (I don't hold that against her, every post does not have to be nice, but this one wasn't either).

3. All three Rosie posts were hers, so she knew it had been brought up before, and before.

Things take on a different tone because of lack of inflection on line. I kept that in mind in my "strike" post, and didn't get offended by the people who disagreed with me. And they were blunt also. I'm just not overly sensitive to that, I guess. And I actually held off of my best arguments, because I felt they might offend people. Now I'm off to the kitchen, as I have things to do.

susan_on,
DUH!? You should have let it go before you posted the last one. What a moronic read if you didn't see I was defending your first post. Holy Moly deary "LET IT GO" means Let it go! not get in the Final words. I think I see why people seem to not care much for your ways. Maybe a little therapy would help.
CT

Coloredthumb, sorry, I guess I didn't read your post well, I'm guilty of that. Maybe I was being defensive at that point. Sorry you took it so hard, and lashed out at me. Some people don't care for my ways, and some do. The therapy comment is strong/harsh. I've never said anything like that to anyone.

But I am sincerely sorry I misread your post.

...and I agree with Barb!!!

Why is everybody so touchy all of a sudden ? I like Rosie, I think she can be hilariously funny, I don't mind her lesbianism, I just didn't like the little bit of the show I saw. Now, everybody, settle down and be nice.

When you have a thread with a lot of responses and you find additional info:
You can add to the existing thread OR you can start a new thread.
It's that simple. In looking at topics, you will find different people on the same day started a thread on the same subject. Is that wrong? No, as they may want to present it in a different perspective.
I see no need for any of us to "police" posts and point out similar posts to belittle someone. It's not polite, kind or friendly. If doing so to refer to other responses, that is done in a friendly manner.
Sometimes we just post info and get a negative post where we say, "What the"?
Point being, "If you can't say nothing nice, don't say nothing at all". Hurting people is not a good quality.
Lynn

OMG What a bad mistake.

Susan_on I'm so sorry the words relaxation aromna were supposed to be in front of the therapy. I am not really mean spirited and really sorry that it got left out. I use aroma therapy all the time to calm down and relax or get energized when I'm loggy. I'm not the best multi-tasker anymore and the DH was talking to me at the same time I was answering.
I will learn someday "one thing at a time, one thing at a time onethingatatime"

jannie, "I don't mind her lesbianism" ROTFLMAO good one! I didn't like what I saw of the show either. I still like Rosie for her other talents. Her acting is usually very good, her comedy is hilarious and her directing has been good too. Her monaloge(sp?) was mostly funny but her hosting of the variety show was way to campy/ham & fawning for most tastes. Some bits were a little funny but not up to her usual standards or the expectations of her regular fans.

Now I'm off to do a little aroma therapy myself. MMM Lavander and Sweet Grass maybe add a touch of Cherry to the mix too.

CT

Coloredthumb, that's ok. Thanks for explaining, I really appreciate it. I'm a multi-tasker too, and I get "balled up" sometimes too. Have a good night (aroma therapy sounds really appealing to me tonight :) ).

What is wrong with some people on here tonight?
Geez Murphy...take a hot bath or something!
