Oh Rosie, Rosie,
This time you may have gone too far. I mean, how many arguments can we watch you instigate before you convince us, once and for all, that you're really just a paranoid bully? Ok, Ok. Maybe that was a little harsh. Afterall, Rosie does like kids - she has 4 of them. And she likes to donate money to organizations that help kids! And she likes to protect kids from guns, which I think is a noble cause, too.

But seriously, Rosie, I think it's going to take a special set of circumstances that I cannot even imagine in order for you to be able to get back on television. Actually, the only thing that I'd consider to be somewhat entertaining from Rosie, at this point, would be a Dr. Phil/Dr. Drew-style counseling session show (kinda like Breaking Bonaduce) where we watch Rosie uncover her inner demons and go through the breakdown we are all waiting for her to have. But, because it's American TV, a happy ending would be nice to see. Maybe the finale can show Rosie in a group hug with Britney, Paris, and Lindsay where they all cry and congratulate each other on how hard it's been to overcome their daily struggles and live with the millions of dollars they have. (I swear I'm not having a bad day, as I write this!)

Despite my personal opinion on this matter, Bodog has posted odds on which network will be the first to sign Rosie to host her own television show. NBC has some of the best odds at 5/2. They are pretty consistent and stable with their ratings, though. I don't know if they'd want to risk their reputation on Rosie.

Another option with decent odds is The New CW network at 3/1. This company boasts that it appeals to 18- to 34-year-olds. But honestly, I don't see that being Rosie's demographic anymore.

Also on the list is CBS at 4/1. Close behind in odds are CNN at 5/1 and ABC at 5/1. Hopefully CNN respects itself to not give Rosie her own show, but ABC strikes me as a possibility. It is a part of the whole Disney scene, which means there are kids nearby, and we all know how much Rosie likes kids! (which is a much more appropriate way than how Michael Jackson likes kids) However, she is kind of a loose cannon, and I don't think ABC is down for those kinds of sparks.

Finally, network with the lowest odds to sign Rosie is Fox at 7/1.

So, there you have it, folks!
On a final note, I'm curious to know how many of you are on Elisabeth's side of the argument? I must say that I am. And given Rosie's decision to not fulfill her contract at The View, it seems that perhaps even Rosie has seen the error of her ways.
