Guess that grand farewell was premature? In what could be a Hail Mary pass to save her sinking network OWN, Oprah is bringing back her long-running daytime talkshow, The Oprah Winfrey Show, repackaged as a "classroom" to help viewers improve their lives. The show, titled Own Your Life, will air weekday evenings starting October 10.


"At Oprah's core, she is a teacher," OWN president Sheri Salata said, announcing that the show will have a companion online course. Viewers can sign up "to reserve their spot" in class starting Friday at Oprah.com.


So, Oprah's solution to save her failing network is to…assign homework?
