>> listen, were you surprised to hear that rosie o'donnell's talk show is canceled on the oprah network>> no. i think it was, you know, they tried to go back to the old rosie show, back to the rosie funny, warm, softer days of rosie o'donnell but since then so much has happened, you know, especially with "the view" and she has become politically divisive and she's a tough character. so i think what they tried to do going back to that didn't really sell because we know a different rosie. then again you get the time slot at 7:00 p.m. people don't tend to tune into a show like that at that time. the ratings suffered. only five months that it was on the air. i think rosie respects oprah and oprah said, look, i got to get this network going and this right here is not happening. they sank about $10 million into the marketing and launching of that show along with another one so disappointing for everybody involved but not really a surprise to me that it didn't work. wouldn't you know it, donald trump has already fired out a tweet saying she's a failure once again. i don't think their feud is g
