Martha, alternatively titled The Martha Stewart Show, is a U.S.-based cooking show presented by Martha Stewart. The program debuted on September 12, 2005, initially airing in syndication before transitioning to the Hallmark Channel in September 2010. This shift was part of a broader agreement that allocated the majority of the cable channel’s daytime lineup to productions from Stewart's company, MSLO Productions. It succeeded her earlier syndicated series Martha Stewart Living, which aired from 1993 to 2004. Unlike its predecessor, Martha was recorded in front of a studio audience at the Chelsea Studios located in New York City, New York. Distribution responsibilities were managed by NBC Universal Television Distribution alongside MSLO Productions. Due to escalating expenses, the production company and Hallmark mutually agreed to conclude Martha. The final taping took place on April 24, 2012,[1] with the concluding episode broadcast on May 11, 2012.
Synopsis
Each installment presents multiple segments that cover topics such as cooking, crafting, gardening, interior design, and other areas connected to arts and crafts. The show also regularly includes appearances by celebrity guests.
Production
In October 2024, Stewart expressed her dissatisfaction with the direction of the series. She stated that "Mark Burnett aimed for a talk show format featuring a variety of guests, whereas I preferred to maintain my original 'how-to' style."
Broadcast history and release
The program was syndicated and broadcast Monday through Friday at differing times depending on the local market. Reruns were also shown on the Fine Living Network before it transitioned into the Cooking Channel. Additionally, the series aired weekdays on Hallmark at a consistent 10:00 am EST slot.
On January 4, 2012, Hallmark officially announced the cancellation of the show.
