"The partnership between Rosie O&amp;amp;#8217;Donnell and Oprah Winfrey has come to an end as the OWN chief pulled the plug on The Rosie Show. The announcement was made following Friday&amp;#x27;s episode, six months after The Rosie Show debuted and was supposed to be a ratings winner for Oprah&amp;amp;#8217;s fledgling network. However, the show&amp;amp;#8212;which filmed in Oprah&amp;amp;#8217;s Chicago studio--suffered from weak ratings and behind-the-scenes drama. The last episode will air March 30. A promo for the show...Rosie issued a statement saying, &amp;quot;I loved working with Oprah in the amazing city of Chicago. I was welcomed with open arms and will never forget the kindness of all I encountered. It was a great year for me--I wish the show was able to attract more viewers--but it did not. So I am headed back to my home in New York--with gratitude. On we go!&amp;quot; As a fan of Rosie&amp;amp;#8217;s first talk show, which ran from 1996 to 2002 (remember the flying Koosh balls?), I planned to check out this one. A partnership with Lady O? I thought. How could that be bad? But I never made time to check it out. What channel is OWN on again? I&amp;amp;#8217;d whisper to myself as I flipped through my 100s of cable channels and ultimately settled on another show&amp;amp;#133;though I certainly had no problem finding the network in time for the Bobbi Kristina Brown interview. Looking on the bright side of this failed venture, there&amp;amp;#8217;s a huge positive that came from Rosie&amp;#x27;s return to TV this go-around. Last summer when the mother of four moved to Chicago for the show, she met her now-fiancee Michelle Rounds at a local Starbucks. In December they became engaged. So Rosie now has time to plan a wedding! Whether you love her or hate, don&amp;amp;#8217;t expect her to be sidelined professionally for too long. In fact, she&amp;#x27;s already fleshing out new plans, tweeting to Kristin Chenoweth: @KChenoweth - but thats show biz - and i am happy to have had the chance and now to be back home in ny ------ maybe broadway !!!!!!!!&amp;amp;mdash; Rosie O&amp;#x27;Donnell (@Rosie) March 17, 2012 Did you watch The Rosie Show? What did you like about it? What didn&amp;#x27;t you like? Are you happy/sad/indifferent about the show&amp;#x27;s cancelation?
