"Don't hate me because I'm, uh... rich."

Giving new meaning to the word 'stubborn', Roseanne continues to produce her American daytime talk show, The Roseanne Show, despite some of the worst ratings ever posted for any television show.

Ratings for The Roseanne Show are down, down, down. Down 71% from last year's premiere. Down 50% since NBC America yanked it from all of its stations. The show got a dismal 0.6 share for the week ending September 19.

But, oddly enough, the show is still profitable, as the show's producer, King World, shrewdly secured high licensing fees for the entire season from all the stations that ran the show. So there's a good chance Roseanne will continue to do the show until she thinks of something else to fill her days.
