Rosie O'Donnell is set to return to daytime TV with a new program on the Oprah Winfrey Network, but there is already a reported disagreement about one of its most important elements: the content.
A source tells Rob Shuter of PopEater that Oprah wants Rosie to return to the days of old, while O'Donnell herself is more interested in her show being a bit more politics-oriented and contemporary:
"Oprah and Rosie have not been seeing eye to eye on the tone of Rosie's new show ... Oprah sees it as a friendly daytime talk show where viewers get to spend an hour with the old Rosie they used to love. Rosie, on the other hand, thinks the show should be more political and a place where she can express her liberal views."
In addition to this, there have also been disagreements about whether or not the executive producer should have ties closer to Oprah or Rosie. Both have had success doing talk shows in the past, but Rosie has been away from the game for a little while at this point.
Do you think this is getting blown out of proportion, or do we have a serious problem on our hands?
