    I think Martha Stewart fascinates us because she is the ultimate “soft power” broker. She was ruthless, but in a comforting way. Like one of those moms or teachers who never had to raise their voice to get you to behave. You didn’t need evidence that she meant business. You could feel it from a mile away. That’s why her underlings look so terrified. Martha never TOLD them that screwing up wouldn’t be a good thing. They knew from the set of her jawline or the way her brow furrowed that THIS HAD BETTER BE PERFECT.

    Thank you for this. There really *is* something strangely comforting about the old MSL episodes, and I also got weirdly really into watching this during the pandemic. I think it's a combination of the close-mic sound mix, the slightly muted but still vivid colors, and Martha's subdued, endearing weirdness. If "caramel" gets you, wait 'til you hear her enthusiastic aspiration on words like "bucatini". A real aristocratic moment of 2000s eleganza.
    It's the opposite of stress relief, but the clip where she dismisses her mother's corrections to ...her mother's macaroni and cheese recipe is must-watch TV. Her mother, Martha Senior (!), says, "Too spicy!" to which Groppler Stewart says, "😏 To each their own..."
    At any rate, as someone who will admit to owning the MSL Halloween Magazine, and scanning assets from it for designs in work-related items so as to integrate the smallest amount of personal survival and humanity, I implore you to continue your Manic Episodes series with Martha. I'd love to hear your thoughts on her baking blueberry pies with an ankle tracker, or talking over a copper specialist, or cutting an enormous sandwich that is impractical for a picnic despite her insistence.

    I will fully admit as a child I unironically watched Martha. I loved her crafts and everything. When she went to jail I was older but was still bummed. I remember hearing how mean she was and all I could think was," not Martha! She is the fancy mom everyone loves." I even laughed at her parody on SNL. I loved this lady. I think you kind of hit on the head, she was comforting and that was nice to watch.
    I'm sure as an adult in my 30's I would feel differently watching her now, maybe be annoyed at her complicated crafts and food. Idk.
    Thanks for unlocking a childhood memory I had tucked away.

    • @MyssBlewm

      I listened to a podcast called "You're Wrong About" and they had a Martha Stewart episode and the host said something like "being into Martha Stewart be good at homemaking is like playing House". And now that I think about it, emulating Martha Stewart recipes/buying her merch when I was younger did feel like "if I was an adult I would make a nice house neat and pretty like Martha Stewart". and sometimes when I watch Martha Stewart's old PBS shows it does feel like playing House when I was a kid 😂

    Now that I’m an adult I think Martha Stewart is kinda awesome. She’s got her ways of doing things and giving instructions for how viewers can do them and that’s a good thing.
    On the subject of non-scary Halloween programs, Hallmark Channel should be making some movies along those lines. Maybe it could be on their Movies and Mysteries channel. It’s the one holiday they won’t touch and that’s a shame.

    Re: Martha's weird boss energy: It was a running joke in our house growing up that Martha literally corrected a child on one of her holiday specials. She told him he could put a gumdrop on the roof of a gingerbread house "anywhere he wanted," only to immediately correct him as soon as he put in a place she didn't want and said, "NO-NOT THERE." 👻

    My only exposure to Martha Stewart was in the 3rd grade. For some reason they decided to show us Martha Stewart's Living Thanksgiving Special in Nov. Now, this would be weird for any school, but my dad was an engineering officer in the USAF and would eventually be hired as a liaison by one of the local companies he worked with, we lived in Tokyo for most of my childhood and adolescent life. I went to a "mixed school" with children from military and expat families mixed with Japanese children, half of the students in this class were not going to be celebrating Thanksgiving. The school did have a major focus on cultural exchange but this was the only mention of Thanksgiving until high school, you would think there would be better ways to teach Japanese children about American holidays than showing them a single Martha Stewart episode, but here we are. I still think about and am confused by it to this day.

    I like the idea of a more cozy, wholesome Halloween than an overtly scary one.

I think it’s nice to break from tradition and enjoy a more pleasant and laid-back Halloween with fun arts and crafts.

    Thanks, Allison, for doing this episode of your show on Martha Stewart's Halloween specials that aired on Food Network back in the day when they focused more on cooking shows I
    instead of mostly cheaper to produce reality shows, well, I mean, at least some of the reality shows are cooking related, but most of the nostalgic cooking instruction shows that more calm than all of the rowdy baking reality shows they have, well, there's Ina's Garden, Mary Makes it Easy, and other cooking instruction shows, so there's still some things on there cooking related on there, I guess! But either way, I love Martha Stewart, her and her best friend legendary rapper Snoop Dogg are both the best! Martha is incredible and her deserts are even better!
