I am so looking forward to this show. I have a great deal of respect for Martha Stewart and hope that this show is a great success.

Hopefully Martha's fans will post here, not so much her detractors.

Show Premiers Wed, Sept 21.

Same here. My only problem is my hubby booked tickets to England and we leave out on September 27th so I miss a couple weeks of Survivor and Apprentice. :-(

Lainee, this is the perfect time to buy a Tivo. They are easy to use and fabulous. Not expensive either.

Mods - if this thread gets popular enough tomorrow night, could we possibly set this up as a "folder" so we can post show by show?

Only one more day. WooHoo. Did anyone see Martha on Letterman last night? She was very cool.

I have no idea what her show is up against, haven't checked my guide. Anyone Know?

I was never a Martha fan before she went to jail, but I do think she got a raw deal. It's not like she was a threat to society or anything.

After seeing her on Letterman the other night, she seems to have mellowed. DH said she seems to not take herself so seriously anymore. I may just become a fan. It's a good thing!

Sure Eeyore, if it looks like it will need to be a folder, just leave a note HERE in the questions to mod thread and we will take care of it. :-):-)

Why did that one guy (Charles?) specifically tell Bethenny that she had an equal opportunity??? (Was he dissing her or comforting her or what?? I missed a bit.)

Well I guess he felt he aught to bring up the conflict of interest, but it did her no favours. They should have dealt with that before this point.

Julie, Charles said that to Bethenny because it turns out he knew her outside the show. She's friends with his daughters and even dated his son at one point. They both said that neither knew the other was involved with the show prior to that meeting.

Matchstick and Primarius? I'm starting to wish they'd stop letting these apprentice people pick their own names!

I wish that they had not done such an obvious divide. Creative and corporate people having to work together as a team would be more interesting IMO

Ms. Stewart gave us a preview of the show on her talk show Martha! today and it looks quite good indeed! I love that she is using "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" as her theme song. SHe also had the cast on and they seemed much more engaging and interesting than those who have been on Old Don's show recently.

She also had Old Don and the missus on too. Old Don folded a t-shirt the Martha Stewart way on the first try, unlike poor Marcia Cross.

It's very similar to The Donalds show same sort of format teams,tasks,boardroom.Just more tastefully done I think.

Hi...have to chime in with some fast thoughts before Lost, but I was really looking forward to this show and was really disappointed.

In all the hype I heard before it I heard how different it would be from Trump's Apprentice (a show I love btw, esp when they have good people on it). That it even though the concept would be the same, it would have it's own style and flair that fit's both Martha Stewart and her business.

At this point I'm going to briefly digress. I recall watching that show I'm pretty sure was called "The next great homemaker.' It had it's ups and downs, but expected a format more like that. Where tasks were super design related, where there were really talented folks but with Martha leading them making it more interesting.

I was really disappointed to find it a total Trump apprentice clone. I didn't really see a different feel, the music was the same, the conference room might as well have been the board room, and we just traded one industry for another. That tag line was so boring. The only touch I liked was the note.

I really expected more...more different, more creative, more unique. What I got was more of the same. I really think they dropped the ball here..or better said, the cake fell! Bummer I wanted to like this. Ok off to Lost!

Holy cow!

This show sucks!

It felt so disjointed.

The parts taken from the original Apprentice came off as unnatural and contrived.

And the original parts (like Martha's "You don't fit in" slogan and writing a thank you note) felt so fake and force.

Not even any of the contestants came across as people who were interesting or who have even a tiny bit of charisma.

Yikes.
