Oprah's Lifeclass on Tour
Hyped and billed as epic TV, the Oprah Lifeclass Tour which took flight last evening was an uplifting and inspiring two hour romp across the self healing spectrum. Winfrey and rebounded gal pal, Iyanla Vanzant who was the centerpiece of offering her own self styled wit and wisdom fed the Peabody Theatre audience with exuberance and kinetic energy. Winfrey has been in the news of late due to the fact that her new network has been faced with numerous challenges including changes in leadership, she is now the CEO and Chief Creative Executive. Discovering content that works, since the Rosie O'Donnell show "flipped and flopped" into being cancelled last week due to poor ratings despite all manner of re-tooling and re-structuring. Winfrey has sought to shore up the network schedule not only with this media tour, but a sprinkling of newcomers including Vanzant's "Fix Me" show, there's former model Beverly Johnson's "Full House,", the return of one of my favorites, "Sweetie Pie's," Breakthrough with Tony Robbins and Super Soul Sunday's with Dr. Wayne Dyer. Plus a few other shows that will be added or intermixed among the regular programming. Will all this work for OWN? No one's really sure and I'm sure that the venture can't keep loosing that $150 Million each quarter and survive. However, Winfrey is banking on using all she's got to make it work. She's got the chutzpa and obviously some deep pocketed friends over at the Discovery network that believe that she can pulled it out. If haven't had a chance to check out OWN, give it look over. There are some interesting and refreshing shows that you most likely won't find elsewhere. It's vintage Winfrey doing what's she's become known for, asking the world to listen and learn while in the meantime growing. Check it out at: www.oprah.com/own
