Oprah Winfrey is getting together with the Kardashian family on Oprah’s Next Chapter with the first of two back-to-back episodes set to air Sunday, June 17 on the OWN network. It’s being billed as the family’s first television interview and it will be interesting to see if this provides a ratings bump for the network which has struggled from the get-go. It airs from 8-9 PM and will be followed by Part 2 of Winfrey’s interview with rapper and media mogul Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson from 9-10 PM.

who knew Oprah could (finally) jump the shark?
My thoughts exactly! I really feel bad for her, this is not good at all.
I expected more from Oprah.
Oprah is reaching an all time low !! next she should do a cooking show with DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER ——$
LOL. It was just a matter of time before Oprah stoops to the bottom of the barrel. That family is a joke, famous for nothing. Worse, the K’s followers are a bigger joke. Anyone outside the USA have good reason to say, “Stupid Americans.”
Yeah…love OWN…but the KArdashians???? Never watched that show…pointless and stupid.
What do you do when your network is floundering in the ratings game? Book a Kardashian! They’re good for at least a million eyeballs that belong to people who have nothing better to do with their lives than watch the parade of skanks on TV.
Forget Ghostbusters . . . call the Kardashians!
And Culligan Man becomes Kardashian Woman!
And Adee Do? Well, let’s not go there.
Oprah, as you keep digging this hole, would you might leaving the Kardashians at the bottom of it?
mind*
Someone on here suggested that she move her channel to basic cable because that is where her audience is. I think that is great advice because obviously what she is currently doing is not working. What’s the point of an Oprah network if she is going to have the Kardashians on? What do the Kardashians have to do with the “Oprah Brand”?
zzzzzzzzzz snore zzzzzzzzzz snore zzzzzzzzzz snore
“First television interview?” What a pile of press release crap! Which member of that disgusting dynasty hasn’t had a camera everywhere but up their…wait a minute…didn’t Kris have a colonoscopy once? I guess Snookie’s mid-wife wasn’t available but hang in there, Oprah. There’s still time.
When the ship is going down and you are overboard and flailing away in the water… you grab onto anything to keep you afloat.
Oprah is just doing what she can to stay alive…her ship has already gone down.
Poor woman doesn’t even realize the Kardshians are “so twenty minutes ago”.
It’s different for something like “Drop Dead Diva”; that was done earlier in the spring, but for her to make a decision to have them on now really boggles the mind.
I love watching Oprah circling the drain.
TV for the Lowest Common Denominator.
Nice to know that Oprah is continuing with the quality programing and in-depth reportage. Way to go, O!
“circling the drain”. that’s funny. sadly some things never go down.
So incredibly sad. OWN was supposed to be television that inspired. Oprah has lost her way. Her brand means nothing any more.
Book Club replaced by Sex Tape Club. No Oprah, just no.
Oprah Winfrey has hit a new low. Never expected this from her.
Now, wait a minute. Oprah had Jessica & Nick on The Oprah Winfrey Show when they were doing reality TV, as well as Nicole Richie & Paris Hilton when they were doing The Simple Life, so this isn’t THAT different.
Wow, hate much? I’ll admit that when the Dash clan first hit the scene I thought they were a joke. Honestly though what have they done that’s so horrible? You have a family with world class athletes, college educated children, ambitious and hardworking siblings…..they’re not junkies or criminals so lighten up. Oprah interviews celebrities so how is this the bottom of the barrel?
I have absolutely no empathy for Oprah. Such a fortunate woman who became so arrogant she believed her own applause…that she could do anything…”build it, and they will come”., actually the trailer trash Kardashians are more interesting than Oporah anymore. Sad.
I would LIKE to feel sorry for Oprah, but she will be wealthy and powerful for the rest of her days, unless she starts burning money on her front yard.
As a refresher, the original mission of OWN as stated in Discovery’s and OWN’s press release was to target “women, men and their families with a purpose and a passion to celebrate life, to inspire and entertain, empowering viewers around the world to live their best lives.” Do the Kardashians fit that definition or is this sounding a bit like Oxygen?
It also appears that Discovery continues to take control over programming for OWN as it it’s running Discovery ID product like…
–I Almost Got Away With It
–Unusual Suspects”
–True Crimes
–The Will
Yeah Oprah, this is what is going to drive your ratings up all right…media whores and publicity hounds who are doing whatever they can to stay relevant in this society and you are just adding more fuel to the fire and bringing even more reason why Discovery seriously needs to pull the plug on this trashfest of a network real soon and the sooner they do so, the better. What a dolt!
Poor, Poor, Oprah, the end seems to be near for OWN if this is the best programming you can do for us.
Wow, way to scrape bottom for ratings. And as if the Kardashians were anything new or newsworthy.
