I've hung in with Paramount+ (a subsidiary of CBSViacom) for a few months and it's thin line-up…read moredoes not warrant putting my subscription on automatic pilot. Basically, as with most streamers you can cancel, re-up for a month or two, binge anything new and then cancel again. I hung around for their re-boot of Frasier (IMHO the best sit-com of all time) and witnessing the train wreck made of the updating, it was beyond sad and unnecessary. Without the sterling writing and tight ensemble cast, it's a quick hook and curtains for the good doctor. I also love Star Trek but you can't build an entire streamer around the reruns and a geriatric Jean Luc Picard. Finally, it was also interesting catching a few episodes of the original Hawaii Five-0 and Mission Impossible. My nostalgic tolerance for bad acting and hackneyed plots is fleeting and reminds me that a fond boyhood memory is often more pleasing than a real time reminder. Paramount+ may live long and prosper but it's in dire need of more rotating content. Dr. Frasier Crane deserved better... kudos to the rest of the original cast for staying away. Five stars for the convenience and excellent picture quality.

We went to see "Have I got news for you" Very small studio,…read moreabout 150 people. With 5 camera's for five people, views of the cast were limited at best.

Great idea to review this channel! I think that $9.99 is a terrific show. As a matter of fact,…read moremost of the programs are excellent, especially if you are new or newish to NYC. It opens up the outer boroughs to the Manhattanites and orients you in a way that you can't get through books. It also allows you to come up with creative ways to enjoy the city--it's easy to fall into a rut here. It's a little like a more low-budget Jane's New York which runs on channel 4. The only problem I have with this channel is that most of the hosts are complete amateurs. I don't mind a hometown feel, but this is New York, and with all the performers around town, I do think the hosting level could be upped a notch or two, but less of Kelly Choi! How many shows is this twit going to get? She's like the Rachael Ray of NY 1. She looks like Carrie-Anne Moss in the black raincoat already. And can someone tell her to wear less makeup and eat something?? And maybe prep her when she's going to meet someone like Daniel Boulud so he doesn't have to grit his teeth when she speaks like an idiot.

Its almost exclusive to New York City, save a couple cultural international shows. Favorites: Cool in Your Code. Not quite expansive at only a half hour a pop, but its fun to just see if you've been to the places they talk about, and eventually you just watch it hoping that the next episode is somewhere near you or a zip code that you frequent. I wish it were a longer program. 9.99. The hosts spend a day for 9.99. Its awesome, with themes abound and they cover a lot of ground, like Cool in Your Code. Eat Out New York. Not the most in-depth food show, but its just as fun as the lesser shows on Food Network, and its useful for New Yorkers of course. Its all about being applicable. Backdrop NYC. A must for short film lovers. All the films are by New York Filmmakers, set in or near New York. Great. New York Noise. to hell with all the so called music channels, I understand their need to have a more consistent viewership regarding programs that feature a continuing story beyond a 3 minute music video, but this is the program you need to watch if you like indie rock. The Bridge. Same as above, except with classic rap/hip-hop videos. And the most guilty pleasure of all, since I know nothing about fashion: Video Fashion News, and Fashion in focus. Just footage, more footage, and even more footage of runway collections, quick detailed interviews, and then more runway. Its just kind of soothing to watch.

Whatever you think of the erstwhile wedding planner, Martha Stewart has succeeded wildly, well…read morebeyond the hospitality czarina famous for books and her eponymous magazine that delivered inspiration to middle class party planners that were stuck in an extremely sad vortex of Chex Mix and aerosol cheese. Now Martha Stewart is a verb and a juggernaut under the ownership of Marquee Brands. Stewart's holdings span retail, publishing, television programming and marketing partnerships generate billions in revenue (exact figures are hard to pin down) and has become the living embodiment of elevated living under her namesake banner. She now has complete ownership or a licensing/e-commerce stake in all of Emeril Lagasse's brands, retailer Sur La Table, Ben Sherman and co-branded partnerships with everything from housewares to furniture, kitchen appliances and home decor. It's easy to make fun of her ubiquitous presence and her signature "It's a Good Thing" catchphrase. However, in addition to being a marketing phenomenon, her advice is pretty damn good and the quality of her merchandise is hard to argue with. Therefore, It's also hard to argue with five stars.

Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia…read more My review is for the company and products not the location. It is worth a visit though if you're in NYC! Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. (MSLO) is a diversified media and merchandising company founded by Martha Stewart and owned by Marquee Brands LLC since April 2019. It is organized into four business segments: publishing, Internet, broadcasting media platforms, and merchandising product lines. MSO's business holdings include a variety of print publications, television and radio programming, and e-commerce websites. The company was founded, in 1997 by Martha Stewart, for her various media and merchandising ventures linked to the Martha Stewart Brand. Over the years both my daughter and I have purchased lots of Martha Stewart products. When she had her Martha Stewart Living Show we were in the audience for the TV show once. It was really fun. Naturally we loved all the jokes back then about Martha Stewart. After her trouble with the law she came back full steam. We forgot all her weaknesses. Macy's sells her products. Plus we purchase them at TJ Maxx, Marshall's and wherever we can get a discount. They don't come cheap unless they're marked down at Macy's. We check the sale section in housewares. I've got sheets that are my favorite. I wore out the bottom sheet but still use the top sheet and pillow case. They're so soft and last wash after wash. I also like the dishcloths. I've got two my daughter gave me. They're colorful with cheerful whimsical patterns. They brighten my day and my kitchen. We've also had furniture items. She used to send a catalog. I remember getting my daughter a subscription to the magazine years ago. I guess we're big fans. In my neighborhood she does a lot of beneficial work. She created and has dedicated gardens at the public housing in Madison Avenue. She has connections with Mount Sinai Hospital too. There's a building and learning center with her name on it. I recommend her products. Anyone who can be creative enough to have a show with Snoop Dog has my attention. She's a shrewd business woman. I like that.

We used directions from Yelp, to take the subway, and walk. It was easy to find. There were two lines outside and one indoors. Some were lined up to actually catch the interview after ours (we attended Matthew Gray Gubler) and some were waiting for a chance at a sighting, photo, or autograph as the guests entered and exited. They had adequate barriers up for security and two bouncers controlled the crowds well. Inside, there is comfortable seating, like couches and chairs for easy viewing. It's great to witness. They had a metal detector/bag check also, for added protection. We'll be back!

This establishment upholds their vision as they want real people to get up close and personal with some of the their favorite artist. They actually have a few different taping throughout the day and with their own in house production team. I had the chance to sit right up front and film as much as I wanted--all they ask is that your phone or camera to have the flash disabled. They started the show off with playing his most recent music video. It was quite an awesome experience and the audience is super small perhaps about fifteen other people--not including the in house production team. The whole interview lasted about half an hour and they have time stowed away just for questions at the end. After the interview show the artist as well as the whole audience applaud and start as Music Soul Child departs. There is even a back door for when the artist take when they leave to hop in their cars. I was hoping for him to sing one of his songs but such a short show can't expect too much. The whole experience was pretty awesome and everyone checking guest in were super friendly and helpful as well! I actually booked another interview show that I'm also super stoked about soon as well!

Not that anyone should rush to sponsor a telethon for this cash cow but their days of being a highly paid staple in cable lineups are drawing to a close. Soon they may be jettisoned by Disney meaning you'll finally be able to stream the full spectrum of ESPN networks without a cable bundle and for many, that will be the final snip in the cable cord. As an avid sports fan I find most of their coverage a hypertensive, over-the-top, scream-a-thon somehow believing the louder they shriek (or the hotter their take) the more you'll stay glued to the set. And let's not even talk about SportsCenter whose highlight reel has taught almost three generations of athletes to preen and posture for the camera honing their catchphrases. On balance, Hockey and the NFL are reasonable but as a baseball fan their weekly games are best experienced on mute. As for the NBA, their coverage (along with ABC) has been a lost cause for quite some time. It's hard to believe that their first program way back in 1979 was log rolling financed through credit card cash advances by Bill Rasmussen who founded the network. I have a feeling he has paid off his credit cards. Five stars just for the balz it took to do it.
