In a home, no audience or guests promoting things, and shorten the show to half an hour (like how Martha Bakes is). Lucinda Scala Quinn is amazing too and should return as well. Emeril and Marc Morrone aren't doing it for me. Eliminate The Hallmark Channel Daytime block. Have Martha's refurbished show air at 10AM and Lucinda air at 10:30AM with a prime time repeat of Martha at 8PM and Lucinda at 8:30PM. Very simple. Along with that, have Martha do her usual one hour holiday themed specials.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-88349790378359486722012-01-10T12:08:50.613-05:002012-01-10T12:08:50.613-05:00I've updated the post to reflect the new annou...I've updated the post to reflect the new announcement.

However, I was not too surprised due to their move to the Hallmark Channel. I myself do not have the Hallmark Channel, and it didn't help that I could no longer watch full episodes of the show online. Martha & Co. provides great information for so many people and therefore they will definitely be back; I look forward to seeing what's next for Martha!JasonandIeashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01557156511640255137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-79131301347652690042012-01-05T15:36:56.042-05:002012-01-05T15:36:56.042-05:00Please hashtag #SaveTheMarthaShow on twitter. than...Please hashtag #SaveTheMarthaShow on twitter. thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-38676628122407450072012-01-05T10:25:47.927-05:002012-01-05T10:25:47.927-05:00Martha once mentioned that she had plans for the c...Martha once mentioned that she had plans for the contemporary house on her Bedford property. Wouldn't this be a great place for a new on-location studio?

Either Hallmark wasn't part of the cable package or they had to cut back on cable due to the economic climate.<br /><br />Another problem I thought was that Hallmark didn't allow for viewing full episodes of the show on their website. This is a missed opportunity that many companies continue to make. Many businesses still aren't taking advantage of targeted advertising that online viewing provides. <br /><br />I hope that by bringing the production in-house it will allow Martha & Co. more control on the distribution of the programming.Sonyanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-63184214848581465372012-01-04T20:04:15.888-05:002012-01-04T20:04:15.888-05:00It's always a disappointment when news like th...It's always a disappointment when news like this comes out... you wonder about the many people who put the show together. However, it comes as no surprise when it was mentioned at a recent event that production was going "in house" and the big studio in Chelsea would be closed at the end of their lease. It made you wonder if the show would end and something else come along. <br /><br />We'll have to watch closely over the Spring/Summer to see what happens. You're absolutely right.. this isn't a tremendous blow... Martha & Co. will land on their feet - perhaps just in a different format.Kennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299828916739335429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23768882.post-80281591164055639552012-01-04T17:59:34.319-05:002012-01-04T17:59:34.319-05:00Very sad news.
