Whatever Martha!

I just discovered this evening a hilarious new show on the Fine Living Network called "Whatever Martha." The show is hosted by Martha's daughter, Alexis, and her friend Jennifer. Basically what they do is watch old clips from Martha's various shows and provide running commentary during the segments. For any of you who remember "Mystery Science Theater 3000" it is very similar to that.

I was laughing out loud watching this, and even though I'm a Martha fan, I have to admit, some of the things she does are worth mocking, and they do a great job of it. It is also fun to hear Alexis talk about growing up as Martha's daughter, she even mentioned her "therapists" and yes, indicated that the word was plural.

Here is a great example of the hilarity of it all....

To set the scene, the clip was from a Christmas episode where Martha had "11 pipers piping" aka 11 little kids learing how to pipe frosting onto their cupcakes.

Martha: "oh look at you, you're doing little dots, and you are doing swirls, and you know you can practice on your paper if you aren't sure what you are doing."
Alexis: "What Martha's really thinking is 'oh look you're making crap. why don't you just get out of my kitchen and stop making a mess.'"

Ok, so it isn't going to win any Emmy awards, but it did provide me with an hour of entertainment. And let's be honest, when Martha gets going on how to properly organize a linen closet, who doesn't want to say "yeah, whatever Martha!"
