Half Pint meets the Queen of Mean. I vaguely remember this show. Didn't it have something to do with Melissa Gilbert's husband going to prison???

^Having remembered seeing this show when TV Land aired it on Saturday mornings briefly during the spring of 1998, I can confirm that Melissa and Rosie played two sisters who decided to live together after both of their husbands got sent to prison for robberies. I personally thought it was an okay sitcom at that time (remember, this was well before that year Rosie O'Donnell was on "The View" and lost all respect from me as a result).

Never heard of it either, and that's probably a good thing since I don't really like either one of those actresses.

I assume this was before that year she was on The View, right?

...appeared on Fox's Sunday night schedule [10-10:30pm(et)] from April through June 1992, and was adapted from the British sitcom "BIRDS OF A FEATHER". This was Rosie's only starring role in a prime-time comedy....

Many years before the view. She had a syndicated daytime show in the 1990's and she was always considered a nice person then. After she ambushed Tom Selleck on her show, that's when I started to have second thoughts about her. She went downhill from there.

I definitely remember this show. I used to love to watch this on Fox Sunday nights at 10. Melissa's sister Sara (from Rosanne) visited the set and said they had a hit on their hands. How I wish this show would have remained in the lineup.
