Ratings not so rosy for O’donnell variety show

Rosie O'Donnell (pictured) has a new variety show, "Rosie Live," on NBC, that is getting little respect from viewers. In fact, the show has already been dropped from the network's schedule.

Among those making appearances on the hourlong program -- conceived as a throwback to such series as "The Carol Burnett Show" -- were Alanis Morissette, Alec Baldwin, Clay Aiken, Ne-Yo and Liza Minnelli. It earned a 1.2 preliminary rating among adults 18-49.

During the weekend, O'Donnell, a former cohost of "The View," wrote on her blog that the low ratings and bad reviews meant that NBC would not pick up the series.
