Premiere Monday!

Toronto is all abuzz right now with the Toronto International Film Festival. Most of the celebrities are staying at the Four Seasons, just up the street from where I work. So far I've seen Katie Holmes and Ben Affleck. Who will be next? All the fuss over celluloid and premieres got me thinking about the big news in Martha's TV world and Monday is the big day: three season premieres of Martha Stewart Living television programs on the Hallmark Channel! The Monday morning chunk of Martha programming kicks off with the season-six premiere of the Martha Stewart Show, followed by the debut episode Whatever With Alexis and Jennifer, followed by another debut - Mad Hungry with Lucinda Scala-Quinn - followed by a new episode of Everyday Food. Will your DVRs be set?


Here is what's on the Martha Stewart Show this week:

Monday: The season premiere! An introduction to our new TV shows, a bacon-jalapeno quesadilla recipe, and pet expert Marc Morrone.

Tuesday: An insider's tour of Mario Batali's Eataly, plus authentic Italian recipes from Lidia Bastianich.

Wednesday: Simple small plates from chef Dan Kluger, Martha's MTV "Date Night," and vodka cocktails.

Thursday: Justin Long makes fiery lobster linguini. Plus, a DIY necklace and handbag, and facial yoga.

Friday: Cooking with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Kevin Sharkey's apartment renovation, and an Oreo cake.
