Whatever, Martha! (My new favorite show)



Being without cable for 5 months will have you do some pretty crazy things. You know, like reading books, working out and meeting friends for coffee rather than ichat on Facebook. And now that I have cable back I can honestly say I didn't miss much. I don't know why I used to love it so much. I really like watching the "F Word" on BBC, "Barefoot Contessa" on FN and now "Whatever, Martha" on Fine Living Network.

It's funny how I discovered this show. I was learning as much as I could from Martha's Holiday Special and right after there was a preview for a show called, "Whatever, Martha!" I knew this was a show worth checking out and I was right. It's hilarious. It's her daughter, Alexis and her friend, Jennifer critiquing different shows Martha has done from past to present. They make fun of her ridiculous crafts, call her out on bogus recipes and make fun of her guests. Nothing is off bounds and it's so entertaining.

The best part of all is Martha Stewart i the executive producer and creator of the show. She's basically paying her daughter and her friend to ridicule her at any expense. In fact, they've even had her as a guest and teased her up close and personal. They also have a radio show on Martha's radio station. Who ever said Martha didn't have a sense of humor??? I think she knows she can be a little ridiculous or a lot ridiculous at times and is willing to poke fun at herself. Good for her. It endears me to Martha even more! I just love this woman.

p.s. If you've never had the good fortune of watching the show, check out the clip above of Martha giving tips on making s'mores! It will give you a taste of what the show is all about
