Nielsen Predicts Roseanne’s New Show Will “Obliterate The View” In That Time Slot

Nielsen, the ratings company that tracks how well television shows do in real time, says the upcoming battle between Roseanne’s new morning show and ‘The View” will be a shootout at first, but ultimately “Raising the Barr” will triumph.

“Roseanne will use a similar format,” said Nielsen CEO Joe Barron, “with one major difference: she won’t have guests that most people dislike.”

The View, and its panel of nasty hosts, have a habit of trying to book people to argue with rather than people to talk to. Liam Neeson says he’ll never go back. Neither will Jon Voight.
