The new Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) launched on January 1st bringing all new shows to cable from none other than Oprah Winfrey. Since everything Oprah does is successful, I'm excited to see what her network adds to television and where it goes over the years. Below is a rundown with brief descriptions of all of the new shows on OWN. So far, I have seen a sneak preview of Kidnapped by the Kids and I look forward to watching the other shows too. I'm particularly excited to see Anna & Kristina's Grocery Bag because it looks like such a fun cooking show with a twist. I also can't wait to see Oprah's search for the next TV host. What are you looking forward to watching on OWN? Let us know by posting a comment. If you don't know what channel OWN is on, go here to find out. - Nancy
