Stewart pitches new show called ‘Help Me, Martha’

NEW YORK — Ever wonder how Martha Stewart might tackle your decorating disaster or party planning nightmare? Some folks will soon get the chance to find out.

Stewart announced Thursday that she and producer Mark Burnett are teaming up for a new television series, “Help Me, Martha.” It’s being made by Stewart’s company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

In the reality series, someone petitions Stewart to help a friend who’s having trouble planning a wedding or a special meal or is facing some other lifestyle issue. The doorbell rings and — surprise! — Stewart and her team are there to take over.

Burnett says it’s been fun to see “the joy on people’s faces that Martha Stewart is in their home.”

Stewart’s company has yet to sell the series to a television network.
