Couch Potato

I love television. Just like I love lots of other things and I think that television (like so many other things) is fine in moderation. I've pretty much been taking a summer break from tv but all the Fall shows are starting and last night I discovered my new favorite.

You must watch Whatever, Martha on Fine Living. Torrent it if you have to, but watch. Produced by Martha Stewart, Martha's daughter Alexis and friend watch old episodes of The Martha Stewart Show and mock them. That's it. I laughed harder than I have at a show in a long time. Even Ry laughed out loud and that almost never happens.

It's a bit like Mystery Science Theater 3000 (in fact, that's how Martha thought of the show) but funnier. According to the New York Times article, "Reaching younger people has been a puzzle that Martha Stewart Living has had difficulty solving. In 2006, the company started Blueprint, a glossy magazine aimed at young women. The expensive venture failed within a year."

I'm not sure if I'm still considered a young person, but they have certainly reached me with this show. It's fantastic. And what makes it even better is that it's blessed by Martha so I can watch without guilt.

Anyone else watching? Katie?
