Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron

If you've seen the original with Donald Trump, there is scarcely a need to view this carbon copy.

Los Angeles TimesRobert Lloyd

Like "Martha," in which she is required to appear interested in celebrities and to whip up the crowd, "The Apprentice" is not a perfect fit.

NewsdayVerne Gay

There is no fear in this show or any of the doom, shame, ignominy or flat-out reprobation that comes with getting one's head handed to one by the Donald.... Without fear, there is no danger and without danger, no drama.

The New York TimesAlessandra Stanley

NBC's teasers for The Apprentice: Martha Stewart had hinted that she would make heads roll and grown men cry. But the premiere episode was a gauzy tribute to her life's work, an evening-wear version of frilly, fun-loving "Martha," Ms. Stewart's new daytime talk show.

Brings too little that's fresh to a format already exhibiting signs of wear and tear.

i lke the way martha give advices to her apprentice

cb by gave it a2:
Donald Trump's is about 1,000 times better. Martha's is not very competitive and is not very intense. In the board room-which should be called the bored room-she hardly even yells or argues with the contestants. You would think she would care a lot more about who worked with her like Donald does. Plus her challenges are not as challenging as those on "The Apprentice." I can't wait to see the original again, but I hope this one never comes on again.

A P gave it a9:
I loved watching both apprentice shows. So Martha isn't an explosive hothead like Trump. It was still fun to watch.

Kyleigh H gave it a1:
I never liked this show. Even though I've never seen, I've read about in TV Guide. This is a total rip-off of Donald Trump's "The Apprentice". Why did Martha Stewart have to do this? Why couldn't she have gone back to her cooking show or something. Martha should be ashamed of herself for ripping off the "Apprentice".

Cary H gave it a2:
Sorry Martha!

N O'Reilly gave it a10:
it is the best.

david gave it a0:
