[IBC] Martha Stewart on Tuesday
 

G'day all...

My take on Martha S's presentation...

I think it was a fair presentation for beginners...but, wkat was missing was
some resources/references...read a book, check out a local club, IBC, etc.

Wouldn't waste time trying to find out when the show will run again.

I'm not a Martha fan, but she didn't play "expert" (this time). Good for her.

Have a good day.

Pat and folks. I'm certainly not going to knock myself out defending Martha,
but, I will say that this show WASN'T for BONSAI PEOPLE...it was for your
average home viewing audience, They don't care about IBC, etc.
She filled an hour with Japanese fish market, chefs doing sushi, japanese
dog breeds, a book by a japanese/american girl about internment camps and
her family, and Shanti Bithi bonsai( I wish it had been Japanese) bonsai.
One of the things I like about Martha is she is a good interviewer and asks
the right questions. If you watched and expected to be taught
bonsai....sorry.
If you missed it and would like to see it possibly you can find out from her
web pgs if it will air again.

Dale,

I agree with you. I am not a Martha Stewart fan either, but she did have an
interesting spot on Bonsai.

You were correct in saying that it was intended for the average home viewing
audience, most of who do not know what bonsai is before they saw it on her
show.

It would have been nice to have her say where to look for more information
on bonsai. Most of the Home Shows like hers do. It doesn't take that much
time and alot of shows put it in the ending credit or to go to their web
site for more information on the subject.

It was a show like hers a long time ago that piqued my interest. If they
hadn't recommend a book or two (Sunset), I would have been one of those in
the average home viewing audience.
