Martha's Apprentice Just Isn't Fitting In

Cancelled.

NBC really screwed the pooch with this franchise. By running Martha and Trump simultaneously, they insured viewers 1) couldn't keep track of who the hell was on which show and 2) just became bored with the entire premise.

It made so much more sense to run the Martha show after the Trump show aired, after the finale generated the typical spike in interest, and viewers wanted more. But I guess NBC just doesn't have any shows anymore.

As a business-type guy, I did find Trump's show somewhat interesting, what are the kinds of things he considers when making decisions,

but after a while, I jut couldn't hang with it. With every episode, it took forever to get to the freaking point - and there just wasn't enough drama involved to keep me watching.

I know that's the formula, and apparently it's popular.

Probably why I don't get much out of things like Survivor.

Plus it has the same time slot as Lost, which is a really good show.

Still watch Trump. Gave up on Martha a long time ago.

Martha's was basically "Apprentice, the Gay Blade."

I mean, yeah, I guess it was meant to skew more to women, and there's nothing wrong with making and marketing a salad dressing as a task, but... I think the tasks were a little too Martha-esque.

and there was much rejoicing!

The thing that annoys me about the trump show this year is how it's basically a commerical for some corporation.

"Best Buy and Star Wars are the two best electronics and movie franchises out there."


Earlier seasons were less overtly commercial (selling advertising on pedicaps for ex). This year's tasks are probably more relevant to trumpmania, but I feel like I'm watching an infomercial.

I do however enjoy this year's boardroom massacres.

Kevin, you're right. All the tasks have been marketing, thanks to the need for promotional tie-ins.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
