Rosie Live is Canceled
Well, this was quick.
I just posted about this a couple of days ago since the show just premiered, also a couple of days ago. But NBC has apparently canceled Rosie O’ Donnell’s variety show because of poor reviews and really bad ratings.
Rosie writes what she thinks went wrong with her show on her blog —
there will b no more
no ratings
bad reviews
yet still - a thrill 4 menot enough rehearsal
the live part wasnt a plus
the in theater experience didnt transfer to tv
…
we were going for ed sullivan
and theres only one carol b
and hey
i gave it my best shot
The show was one of the lowest rated programs that one and only time it aired (Wednesday evening, a day before Thanksgiving). NBC intended it for release during the holidays and was planning on ordering it to series should it go well. Well, it didn’t.
But Rosie is fine.
Although, formats like this aren’t really dead. She herself said there are more variety programs coming soon. Well, maybe she can guest in them.
