The Christmas Experiment 2013 Hour 7+8: Not Quite Reality

Okay, enough movies for the moment. Let's watch some special stuff.

Martha Stewart's Home For the Holidays: Yeah, I like watching Martha Stewart every year. Is it because she's so mockable? Probably.

Martha decorates a tree, goes into something about family and celebrating it. Martha's family is

"Close enough, mother. No skin contact."

strutted out so she can use them to prove her humanity. You'll notice that Martha keeps her mother at arms length if she can help it. I will note that there are plenty of times that they both seem to do it so I can see where that's going.

A later segment has Martha entertaining birds and a bird keeper. They start tearing apart the bird keeper's shirt. He's also trying to talk over Martha but Martha won't be having any of that. We then cut to a bunch of other animals.  The Bird keeper then starts going through all the way you can kill your animals in winter and way to prevent it. Remember, put plastic tubing all over your house to prevent the demise of your pets.

In the long run, I think Martha would have made an excellent new anchor. There's a detachment that she seems to have from everything. Most of this special focuses on family and there are moments where she seems like she couldn't care less. I'm prone to believe that she doesn't.

The Great Christmas Light Fight: WHY DO PEOPLE GO THIS FAR OUT TO DECORATE THEIR HOUSES?!? Seriously, the $50,000 they win will just about cover their power bills.

Non-Viewing Thoughts: I gotta say, I make an awesome ham, especially compared to some other cooks.

Late Christmas Ideas: A stand mixer would be awesome. I can make pasta in addition to other stuff before it proceeds to collect dust.

Notable Commercials: No Sam Jackson, I'm not having a staring contest with you.
