The Hollywood ReporterTim GoodmanOct 12, 2011
Season 1 Review: She is all over the map and that's precisely what's refreshing about her. What the world needs now is not another over-stylized, super-slick talk show. Read full review

TimeJames PoniewozikOct 12, 2011
Season 1 Review: The Rosie Show is nothing revolutionary, but it does as much as reasonably can be expected of a talk show in its first week, and--thanks to the experience of its star--has the feeling of a show that's been on the air for months longer. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesLori RacklOct 12, 2011
Season 1 Review: The Rosie Show got off to a rocky start Monday with a premiere that was talk show, variety show, game show and public-service program, all rolled up into one muddled hour of live TV. Read full review

VarietyBrian LowryOct 12, 2011
Season 1 Review: O'Donnell's program didn't exhibit the fireworks one might have expected, allocating most of the hour to guest Russell Brand, in an interview that was relaxed, charitably, but almost wholly uninteresting. Read full review
