Donald Trump blaming the cause of low ratings on Martha's Apprentice?????? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What the hell does the ratings for Martha have to do with the Ratings for Trump? Both shows air on Different nights and both are different and now Trump is considering cancelling Martha's show because she doesn;t have that many viewers?? I thought that was NBC's decision to cancel a show? i read this on yahoo.com

Trump doesn't know anything about TV ratings. When his show was doing well (in season one), he kept saying he was #1 in the ratings, which he wasn't--CSI was.

Yeah I can believe that. But I did see the ratings for Martha's show and they are really low compared to his show. Trump also said that she is too nice when she FIRES someone-lol

He might mean that because there's a second edition of The Apprentice, the enthusiasm for his show is watered down, that maybe people are burned out on the concept of The Apprentice. It's different for shows like C.S.I or Law and Order. When you have two reality shows that are as similar as Trump's and Stewart's, there's going to be some steam taken away. I think that's what he meant.

Well American Idol and Star Search had no effect on each other, and they are very similar.

But, I mean, of course I would be upset at Martha for having a copycat show, but I don't think it had an impact on Trump's ratings -- I think it's just getting old.

TVFactFan · 10-21-2005, 05:45 PM

Honestly, the Apprentice didn't need a spinoff

They're not the same basic show like The Apprentice Martha Stewart and The Apprentice Donald Trump are and, they didn't air consecutive nights on the same network like The Apprentice. That comparison doesn't work.

Awww, nooo, I love the Martha version so much.

Brian Damage · 10-21-2005, 08:00 PM

It was silly to give Martha her own Apprentice show.

TVFactFan · 10-21-2005, 08:17 PM

Maybe the 2 shows should do a crossover episode-lol

Brian Damage · 10-21-2005, 08:19 PM

Martha's show needs to crossover railroad tracks and get smashed into a million pieces. lol

AH NO I LOVE MARTHA

You wouldn't think Martha would be allowed to make a show that was so similar to Trump's. Especially since he does't like her show. I don't get who would want to watch a show that copies his show.

I doubt that show is effecting his ratings. People probably would watch his show and not hers. It is probably because the theme on his show has gotten old.

I agree, I watched Martha's version 2 nights ago and it's too much like the original so why bother?-lol
