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.

I think the Democrat is arguing that the political appointees should exercise no control over their rabidly communist VOA employees. This is what they're always arguing -- they stock the bureaucracy with literal communists and then claim that the voters should have no control over these unfirable radicals. Lake offers a for-instance that will appeal to this Democrat of allegedly-suspect bedroom guests.
