The Great American Tag Sale with Martha Stewart

People enjoy poking their noses into the lives of the rich and famous. So of course they're interested in Martha and her (hoarding of) antiques. Yes it's vapid and silly - but that's part of the point. Very interesting to see what Martha owns, what her style is, who she rubs elbows with and her farm (which I am very envious of). Is the show for everyone? Nah. If you like antiques you'll like this. If you like Martha and antiques you'll LOVE this. If not - move on. They do go into detail about a few pieces but nothing too in depth. Really the attraction is Martha. The interactions between Martha and her peacocks is something that should be studied. Also it was all for charity!

There is literally no reason for this show to exist. Martha selling all her crap from her mansions and people gobbling it up and willing to pay for them because the items are "unique" and "treasures" and they belonged to Martha when they're actually just stuff you'd find from any antique store but for triple the price. This show was completely tone deaf and ego stroking. Paparazzi and cocktails (which admittedly looked good) and social climber snobs galore. Who wants to watch a 42 minute garage sale of overpriced crap from a boring mega rich, pompous woman whose taste doesn't rival that of the average middle aged woman from Middle America or things you can find at HomeSense?
