    If you've seen the original with Donald Trump, there is scarcely a need to view this carbon copy.

    Like "Martha," in which she is required to appear interested in celebrities and to whip up the crowd, "The Apprentice" is not a perfect fit.

    There is no fear in this show or any of the doom, shame, ignominy or flat-out reprobation that comes with getting one's head handed to one by the Donald.... Without fear, there is no danger and without danger, no drama.

    NBC's teasers for The Apprentice: Martha Stewart had hinted that she would make heads roll and grown men cry. But the premiere episode was a gauzy tribute to her life's work, an evening-wear version of frilly, fun-loving "Martha," Ms. Stewart's new daytime talk show.

    Brings too little that's fresh to a format already exhibiting signs of wear and tear.

    Donald Trump's is about 1,000 times better. Martha's is not very competitive and is not very intense. In the board room-which Donald Trump's is about 1,000 times better. Martha's is not very competitive and is not very intense. In the board room-which should be called the bored room-she hardly even yells or argues with the contestants. You would think she would care a lot more about who worked with her like Donald does. Plus her challenges are not as challenging as those on "The Apprentice." I can't wait to see the original again, but I hope this one never comes on again.… Full Review »

    I loved watching both apprentice shows. So Martha isn't an explosive hothead like Trump. It was still fun to watch.
