NBC Now Claims A Second "Apprentice: Martha Stewart" Series Was Never Planned

More fallout from the cancellation of NBC's "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart".

According to this article on Mediaweek.com, the current series of Martha's "Apprentice" would have been the only one she would have been able to do, given her "other commitments".

This is the kind of face-saving spin that would make a politician proud. If the ratings had been strong enough for another "Apprentice: Martha" season, she somehow would have found the time to do it.

They shouldn't have aired her series alongside Trump's. They definitely shouldn't have scheduled it opposite Lost, one of the few fictional series that reality TV fanatics love. They shouldn't have cast 17 insanely boring people and let it turn into The Jim Bozzini Show. So many mistakes . . .

Spin indeed. Simply announcing the cancellation (by the norms TV viewers are used to) indicated an assumed intention of the show staying on the schedule.

NBC ain't foolin' nobody.<P ID="signature">______________
