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.
