Oprah puts things on TV "she" likes instead of what everybody else likes. Its been the same way with her movies that never do well either. She should step out the way and let somebody come in who can put some good shows on people like to see. Otherwise she's in trouble.

<span>The thing I've never quite understood about this move by Orpah is why she felt the need to *own* her own network in the first place? (no pun intended). It's not like she was lacking for exposure OR control. Heck. She was practically running things on the "Oxygen* channel wasn't she? It certainly seemed that way to me. But even more mind-boggling is the fact that she seems to have completely FAILED at being prepared in ANY way to give her network the optimal chance for success. She ASSUMED that millions of vieweres, meaning WHITE women, would automatically flock to her network and demonstrate the same, OR greater, loyalty to her 24/7 programming (REGARDLESS of the quality of that programming) as they had done for her ONE hour talk-show, 5 days a week for at least 2 decades. And she 'completely FAILED to have a viable *Plan B* in the event that *Plan A* was a bust. This sad story reminds me of *The Peter Principle* ...only in Oprah's case she's a hierarchy of One:</span><span>Wikipedia: "formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull, in their 1969 book The Peter Principle, this principle holds that in a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his/her level of incompetence, meaning that employees tend to be promoted until they reach a position in which they CANNOT work competently." </span>
