I am looking forward to watching Martha's new show tonight on NBC at 8:00 pm EST. I hope it is better than her show on TLC. I have seen two episodes so far and have not been thrilled with either. I don't care an iota about her celebrity guests and I don't want to see a new warm, funny Martha. Martha is a bitc* -- we all know it, so don't attempt to give her a fake new personality. She did not get to the top by being warm and funny. I want to see more of the cooking, craft, and tablescape demonstrations that made her what she is. Nobody does a dinner table like Martha! She is the queen of mixing and matching table accessories. I have read every book she ever wrote and I have learned from each one. Please, please don't turn her into another hostess of a dull celebrity-filled talk show.

Hey Zoey,
ReplyDeleteDid you catch MS Apprentice? I think it's a totally rip-off of 'The Donald's' Apprentice. Take a good concept and run with it, right Mark? (the producer) I did like seeing other people besides George and Carolyn, but to use your own daughter? Geez-what does she know?
I don't mind the new MS syndicated show. To tell you the truth, she had to do a show where she was more down-to-earth after what she has just been through. Her old show was a little stale except when she made it more special with Halloween ideas, etc.
Anyway, why doesn't she retire? She's 64. ; )
Yes, I did watch it. I liked it enough to continue to watch. I think it is supposed to be a total knock off on the Donald. He was on the TLC show yesterday. Did you see that one? He and his daughter--oops, I mean latest wife (I am so nasty, aren't I?)---were making meat loaf with Martha. Yeh, like the Donald is going to go home and whip up a meat loaf!
ReplyDeleteI did not see where the daughter added anything of interest to the show either. Maybe she will take on more of a role in the later episodes. I am sure she just needed a job and mama came through!
Yes, that meatloaf episode was a hoot! MS and DT along with Mark Burnett have to be the most powerful people in the television industry right now.
ReplyDeleteI believe Alexis (the daughter) was more of an expert on 50s decor or decorating with metal-lol. I remember seeing her apartment in a MSL mag-all metal. She rennovated some diners too if I remember correctly. Wonder if she is still married?
Have a great time on your mystery weekend. They were doing something like that on a smaller scale in the next town over and we never attended-stick in the muds we are!
Dianne, I do believe that Alexis is now divorced from her attorney husband (who was on Martha's defense team). She owns (or did own) a gym in the Hamptons. That is about all I know of her :)
