I think this is great news. Fox would only report it to be annoying and to try to gun up support against NBC. They are so going down after this next election and I am enjoying every minute of it. I do pity those who have to work there though. Fox use to be one the more liberal networks in their start-up. Bribery changes many things in this Country.

It's about time we have a good variety show again and I think Rosie is funny enough and thoughtful enough to work well with a team of regular players. She doesn't and shouldn't be Carole. She is good enough just being Rosie. The woman is multi-talented and can seriously laugh at herself. I find those who insult her as poor examples of what Americans always like to portray themselves as being, encouraging, congratulating and hard working. Rosie has done so much for America. How many of you have taken in adopted children and loved them as your own? She didn't stop there though. She takes it into the Theaters, giving children and teens opportunities to work on stage and offering them a better alternative than sitting behind a big square box all afternoon and evening. Rosie found a need to reach out and nurture other kids. Many of these whose Parents are working hard just to survive in this wasteful economy. Our schools have had to cut back so much in the field of Art because of bad Federal Management.

Doesn't this message board exist as a means of connecting the public and the Theater Community? The more we know, the better we are able to learn and support good Theater? Or bad it that is what you like? Doesn't Rosie try to do this also with her Children's Theater Group and Annual Cruises? This woman not only works herself but also helps to create more jobs for the Theatrical Community, right?

I'm so proud of her and happy that she is living still in America. So many have left the Country because of this mad and robber baron Government we have suffered with. How tired and bored I am with those who feel just fine with lying, cheating and stealing Politicians right now.

Rosie speaks up for our young adults and those Soldiers who dedicate their lives to protect us. These brave people who are willing to risk their own lives, rather than be labeled, free loaders, worthless individuals or unambitious, join the Military for many reasons. Very, very few join just so they can kill people. They trusted us to make sure they would not have to sacrifice their lives in vain or be forced to take up arms against regular civilians. Invading other Countries that have done no harm to us is warmongering. Bin Laden represented no single Government but his own agenda. So sad to see those disenfranchised ex-slave owners once again throw our Country into the stone age. We fight in Iraq while dictators wage genocide in Africa? So much for being the World's Peace Keepers and a positive example that human beings can rise above hatred and cruelty to make this a better World.

Anyone who tries to defend a Government that has mismanaged money so foolishly and then tries to sell itself as, "conservative" obviously knows little at all about economics. Instead of making bombs and waging wars, we could be building Solar Powerhouses and Wind Generators that don't kill birds. Science can be used to better society rather than destroy it. Security has always been more illusion than fact. When you force our National Security out of the Country than you have no security at all. Let's send them,"over there" to die, without the combined strength and support offered to them from our neighbors and two huge Oceans between us.

Middle Easterners can do their own, "peace keeping". They have survived many centuries without our help. Their society is older than ours. All we have done "over there" is sell them weapons that they do not need. Accidentally killing innocent civilians whose only crime is defending their families from bad Americans or those mislead by a greedy Administration. Weapons were sold to them that were never meant to be used against others but rather as a defensive means to fight off our enemies here. Not to start wars and kill the innocent.

It was sloppy security that caused 911. If that event said anything, it said that America needs to strengthen its own defenses and put those into power who want to protect our Country rather than see it burn for a profit. The UN building was an International Center. Hardly an attack on America as much as a message to the World that some citizens in Saudi Arabia were unhappy with the World's Foreign Policy. Not just America's but the Worlds lack of respect for their beliefs. Terrorists are radicals with a cause. They use traumatic events when all other negotiations fail. It was a wake-up call that our Government used to make a profit on for the very few at the expense of American Children's education, stunted technological advancement because of lack of funding, and bankrupted our Treasury. The return on war is what? Restitution. We will have to pay and pay to rebuild what we ourselves have already destroyed.

Rosie also has maintained a long term relationship with someone she truly loves. Something very few of us have ever accomplished. She works hard despite those who put her down for flimsy reasons and hidden prejudices. She has given their kids a stable home. If that isn't what being a good American is, than perhaps we need to re-examine our definitions of what being good, honest and fair are in this Country?

I'm sorry, I know this is very political but someone has to say this, if the Media won't.

Would any show actually want to share their space with a television show though?

"I'm sorry, I know this is very political but someone has to say this, if the Media won't."

What have you been watching... Fox News??

it's the only thing media outlets and liberals talk about now-a-day.

while I respect your feelings on the matter, this is a Broadway board. Not a political board.

Rosie isn't THAT much of a saint. c'mon now.

"Would any show actually want to share their space with a television show though?"

YES! Free publicity for their show. They're probably dark on Sunday Eve anyway. The TV crew is responsible for loading in and out their equipment. They get paid for their space. What's wrong with that deal?

Well most shows are dark on Sunday nights but would a show be able to have a 3 PM show and would there still be enough time to get the audience out and everything loaded in and the new audience brought in in time for a live show at 7-8 PM? Just seems like working it all out would be more of a nuisance to any show sharing their space.

The variety show would have to air sometime after 8pm in order for the FCC to allow them to have more "adult material." I would suspect that they would air it live at 10pm so that they could have a rehearsal in the space after load-in.

Will it be a different house each week?
