Rosie O'Donnell Scores Lower than Knight Rider. Ouch.

people.com — Rosie O'Donnell writes on her blog that her NBC variety show -- her first TV gig since leaving The View -- won't being continuing. The Wednesday night show attracted just 5 million viewers, down even from the previous week's low-rated Knight Rider. The night was dominated by Barbara Walters' interview of Barack and Michelle Obama.

  • davidjunit, on 11/30/2008, -19/+70People still watch TV?
  • artofwot, on 12/01/2008, -3/+49What I like best is how she actually worded her blog post:

    "there will b no more. no ratings. bad reviews. yet still – a thrill 4 me."

  • inactive, on 12/01/2008, -6/+42Don't forget fat, obnoxious, unfunny comedian.
  • scoottie, on 12/01/2008, -2/+33Reason for not watching Knight Rider: They changed the make of the car to have a show for Ford product placement

    Reason for not watching Rosie: She is an idiotic loud mouth bitch

  • xenoscion, on 12/01/2008, -2/+30Is this really a surprise to anyone?
  • inactive, on 04/03/2009, -0/+27Confirmed. Barbara beat Rosie, but CBS, as usual, kicked everyone else's butt:

  • TrevorBelmont, on 12/01/2008, -1/+22If God loves us then why would he allow Rosie O'Donnell to exist?
  • PeanutCheeseBar, on 12/01/2008, -12/+31To the atheists on Digg:

    Though I respect your views, isn't this ample proof that there is a higher deity and he loves us?
  • SendHelp, on 12/01/2008, -2/+21This makes me so happy. I almost threw up when I heard she was getting a show and saw footage of her singing. The world is now a safer place.
  • johnristad, on 12/01/2008, -0/+19I think they had just been hired from Wall Street
  • pagit, on 12/01/2008, -1/+19Michael, my sensors are picking up whale song

  • reed311, on 12/01/2008, -4/+20Yep and, apparently, they still ask stupid questions as well; or stupid and pretentious rhetorical questions, depending on how you look at it.

  • cr12345, on 12/01/2008, -2/+17Typing out entire words might burn off 1 or 2 of those calories needed to maintain her 400lb. figure.
  • TrevorBelmont, on 12/01/2008, -2/+17She writes her blog like it's a text message? That's just damned lazy.
    Is there anything TO like about this woman?
  • 8bitflu, on 12/01/2008, -0/+14This sounds like the most awesome argument ever.
  • GorfTron, on 12/01/2008, -1/+15To have a variety show, you have to be someone that people actually like.
  • ntopaz, on 12/01/2008, -2/+16I have only one thing to say:

    NBC raped Knight Rider.
  • UrinalPooper, on 12/01/2008, -0/+14That's your real reason for not watching the show? The atrociously bad writing did it for me.
  • wilf_brim, on 12/01/2008, -3/+16Please, continue on projects like this. A few more and she will descend into anonymity that she clearly deserves.
  • MrAdventure, on 12/01/2008, -0/+13All I could think of when I saw the promos, was "Who greenlit that???"
  • middlecon, on 12/01/2008, -4/+16buried for Rosie O'Donell but glad she may be gone on tv for the forseeable future.
  • marv0, on 12/01/2008, -2/+14Knight Rider rides the roads.
    Rosie Rides the carpet.

    Both fail to be interesting.
  • danwgre, on 12/01/2008, -1/+13Dude, I know they are both Lesbos, but don't compare Ellen to Rosie... its insulting.
  • JulyZerg, on 12/01/2008, -1/+13If she made porn, she could be executed for violating the Geneva Convention. It would probably be used as a last resort in Guantanamo Bay, after prisoners have resisted all other torture.
  • SDeluxe, on 12/01/2008, -0/+12http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whales
  • danwgre, on 12/01/2008, -0/+12with that kind of management, I'm sure a bailout is soon to follow
  • j1ggy, on 12/01/2008, -3/+14It looks a lot like the one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater, except it eats lots of carpet and fast food instead.
  • adml_shake, on 12/01/2008, -2/+13Poor Rosie. The only number she got higher was when she was put on a scale with KITT.
  • PHJames88, on 12/01/2008, -2/+13Oh my God it's awful! It's coming for the door!
  • andrewlotta, on 12/01/2008, -1/+12I could have told NBC a variety show would flop before they decided to air one presented by Rosie.

    A variety show presented by (fill in A-list celeb here) would bomb. They were entertaining when they were the only comedy available on television, not to mention only five channels with entertaining television shows.

    NBC is going down, down, down. They haven't been able to fill a spot on the Top20 most watched shows a week for over a month now (except for football games which is a given).
  • akchrs, on 12/01/2008, -4/+14Fire can't melt steel!!!
  • cr12345, on 12/01/2008, -1/+11Porn with Rosie?
    I thought bestiality is illegal.
  • norman619, on 12/01/2008, -1/+11A variety show falling flat on its face... Better yet, a variety show headed up by Rosie O'Donnell falling flat on its face... Who could have predicted this? *COUGH*EVERYONE*COUGH!
  • jackkerouac, on 12/01/2008, -1/+10Logically? Fire can't melt steel? How the ***** does she think steel is made!? Are you an idiot!?
