Rosie O'Donnell may not be everybody's cup of tea but she sure is making ABC's morning chatfest "The View" into a must-see experience. Since Rosie replaced Meredith Viera in September, ratings are up by 14 percent. Even more importantly to ABC, viewership in the key advertising demo of viewers 18-34 is up a whopping 34 percent.
Personally, I like Rosie so much better on television as an openly gay woman with a wife and kids as opposed to the "Queen of Nice" persona from her old talk show when she had a crush on Tommy Cruise.
