Martha's Apprentice Just Isn't Fitting InNBC 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. posted by Ace at 04:04 PM
CommentsAs 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. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 14, 2005 04:13 PM
Plus it has the same time slot as Lost, which is a really good show. Posted by: Moonbat_One on November 14, 2005 05:13 PM
Still watch Trump. Gave up on Martha a long time ago. Posted by: someone on November 14, 2005 05:17 PM
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. Posted by: ace on November 14, 2005 05:29 PM
and there was much rejoicing! Posted by: Da Goddess on November 14, 2005 05:54 PM
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."
I do however enjoy this year's boardroom massacres. Posted by: Kevin on November 14, 2005 11:06 PM
Kevin, you're right. All the tasks have been marketing, thanks to the need for promotional tie-ins. Posted by: someone on November 15, 2005 01:34 AM

Former CIA operative John Kiriakou talks with Matt Taibbi about the Brennan/Comey Coup
Both guys are old liberals, maybe even of the far-left variety, and both are appalled by the Democrat/Deep State coup against the US. Kiriakou says that CIA officers were legally obligated to report to the Inspector General John Brennan's repeated overruling of actual intelligence to encode his partisan conspiracy theories into US intel product, but of course they didn't.
