Hmmm... not a good day for Martha.

or CBS:) Cancelled Broadcasting System:)

WCBS's New York affiliate has decided to pull the plug on Martha Stewart's syndicated lifestyle television show, "Martha Stewart Living," following her Friday conviction.

That's a Good Thing!

[Seruzawa]

I just hope that Conan O'Brien keeps doing shows on her. Did you see the device she uses to lash her staff?

[nypokerface]

Too bad. Now I will never know how to bake a pie with a file in it.

[Cicero]

The networks continue on their journey down the tubes.

[babaloo]

I don't know about you guys but I consider a show on at 2 in the morning cancelled anyway.

[KellyAdmirer]

Well, it will be kind of difficult to do it from Danbury anyway.

Imagine the Feds are traffic cops. You're pulled over for speeding. They don't have the evidence to convict you for speeding, but they try and convict you for your obviously bogus excuse. At which point you watch your business go down the tubes as you await prison and are hounded out of public life.

Well, I suppose it beats having your family slaughtered because you sold a shotgun that was a fraction too short or being burned alive because your religious beliefs are weird and you do business at gun shows.

Of course that wouldn't describe anyone here.

The show, which had fallen in the ratings, previously aired on Channel 2 at 2:05 a.m.

I look forward to staying up until 2 am on Thursdays to learn how to make a chicken pot pies, paper mache Christmas tree ornaments, gran marnier soufflets, etc.

I'd prefer they cancel Dan Rather's program.

[Peter Libra]

Right.

Free Martha

Like your analogy. Finally, finally, liberal spouse and I agree. Looking for Martha Stewart products- flame away all. LOL

Wonder if FoodTV will cancel her cooking show, "From Martha's Kitchen", M-W-F, 6:30pm EST? Anyone hear anything yet? As of this post, March's shows are still intact. I've got to think they'll be pulling that show, too.

Her sad world is crumbling further by the day. All this mess for less than 4,000 lousy shares of stock. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

[Spok]

Roman Polanski gets an academy award and the public is more afraid of Martha than OBL.
We truly live in a time of madness...

[Age of Reason]

All this mess for less than 4,000 lousy shares of stock. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

You mean the 4,000 shares we know about.

[Age of Reason]

You're missing the fact that a jury of American people found her guilty.

Randy Weaver and Waco never made it to trial by jury.

Big difference.

[yarddog]

I actually saw a K-Mart ad yesterday on tv featuring Martha Stewart.

Talk about marketing mistakes, K-mart has made a lot!

[yarddog]

Randy Weaver actually did make it to trial. He was exonerated on all charges except a minor one regarding failure to appear.

[Age of Reason]

Well, if Martha fails to appear for something, let's se what the government would do about it.
