I wish Hallmark would give us more variety in the morning than Martha Stewart. I love their movies and watch them over and over.

We switched from Time Warner to ATT Uverse and no longer get the Hallmark Channel :(
I do like getting the Yankees channel though ( it's called YES for Yankees Entertainment Sports) so I'm not complaining although Hallmark is a nice one. My sister watches it a lot. What really kills me is we pay so much to get so little. So much stuff on that I have no interest in. |
I watch little house on the praire on hallmark I think.

the first time I saw or heard of Martha, she was on a holiday program, carefully inserting whole sage leaves beneath the skin of a turkey, to make a pattern. I thought to myself,
"THIS LADY IS CRRRAAAAAZY!!" |
First time I saw her she went into a separate room. the size of a small bedroom, to decide which china to use for a holiday dinner. She had enough china to open a store. Decided then & there her ideas weren't for me.

I had been a devoted Martha Stewart fan since 1996. I have subscribed and collected her magazines (keep EVERY one), purchased her books and other products. I watched or recorded her show daily. One could say I love Martha Stewart.
However, when her show changed I began watching less and less. Since she has been on Hallmark I think I've watched one or two shows. I don't care for the new format and the way that she frequently interrupts her guests when they are speaking. Even the magazine does not hold as much wonder for me anymore. I will be ending my subscription in December. I'm sad about it but I live in the real world and I think I've developed less tolerance for the perfect world she has created on her show and magazine. I like to watch Little House on the Prairie and I liked having the two episodes on in the afternoon. |
Martha is on Hallmark? lol, I have ALL of the Martha guidelines in my rolodex, so I don't need to watch her:
MARTHA STEWART'S HOLIDAY CALENDAR December 1 Blanch carcass from Thanksgiving turkey. Spray paint gold, turn upside down and use as a sleigh to hold Christmas cards. December 2 Have Mormon Tabernacle Choir record outgoing Christmas message for answering machine. December 3 Using candlewick and hand gilded miniature pinecones, fashion cat-o-nine tails. Flog gardener. December 4 Repaint Sistine Chapel ceiling in ecru, with mocha trim. December 5 Get new eyeglasses. Grind lenses myself. December 6 Fax family Christmas newsletter to Pulitzer committee for consideration. December 7 Debug Windows XP. December 8 Create snow sculpture replica of Bethlehem at the birth of Christ. December 9 Align carpets to adjust for curvature of Earth. December 10 Lay Faberge egg. December 11 Erect ice skating rink in front yard using spring water I bottled myself. Open for neighborhood children's use. Create festive mood by handmaking snow and playing my Christmas album. December 12 Collect dentures. They make excellent pastry cutters, particularly for decorative pie crusts. December 13 Install plumbing in gingerbread house. December 14 Replace air in mini-van tires with Glade 'holiday scents' in case tires are shot out at mall. December 15 Take dog apart. Disinfect. Reassemble. December 16 Child proof the Christmas tree with garland of razor wire. December 17 Outfit neighborhood rats with tiny antlers. December 18 Adjust legs of chairs so each Christmas dinner guests will be same height when sitting at their assigned seats. December 19 Dip sheep and cows in egg whites and roll in confectioner's sugar to add a festive touch to the pasture. December 20 Drain city reservoir; refill with mulled cider, orange slices, and cinnamon sticks. December 21 Float votive candles in toilet. December 22 Seed clouds for white Christmas. December 23 Do my annual good deed. Go to several stores. Be seen engaged in last minute Christmas shopping, thus making many people feel less inadequate than they really are. December 24 Bear son. Swaddle. Lay in color coordinated manger scented with homemade potpourri. December 25 Alphabetize all the Christmas gifts for family and friends and cross-reference by color and size. December 26 Write and mail Christmas thank-you notes. Order cards for next Christmas. Estimate number of cards needed by allowing for making new friends and actuarially appropriate death rates for current friends and relatives. December 27 Organize spice racks by genus and phylum. December 28 Build snowman in exact likeness of God. December 29 Hand sew 365 quilts, each using 365 material squares I weaved myself used to represent the 365 days of the year. Donate to local orphanages. December 30 Release flock of white doves, each individually decorated with olive branches, to signify desire of world peace. December 31 New Year's Eve! Give staff their resolutions. Call a friend in each time zone of the world as the clock strikes midnight in that time zone |

I'm not a fan of Martha Stewart and wonder why Hallmark has chosen to have her in their daily weekday line up as opposed to the Food Network or HG. Same with Mad Hungry. Wonder what's up with Hallmark these days. I prefer those feel good shows like 7th Heaven, Touched by an Angel, Waltons, Little House on the Prairie types on Hallmark.
