On the heels of the multi-year strategic partnership announced earlier this year, executives from Hallmark Channel and Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia today revealed the original 'how-to' programming block set to launch exclusively on the cable network this fall. The slate of new programming is anchored by the debut of the Emmy(R) Award-winning series 'The Martha Stewart Show' on Hallmark Channel beginning September 13th at 10:00-11:00 a.m., ET/PT weekdays.

The story centers around Sarah Goldman, an independent, young, teacher living in Chicago. When her parents, Miriam and Abe, don't approve of her choice of boyfriend because he is a gentile she begrudgingly hires an out-of-work actor, Bob, to portray their idea of an ideal mate - Dr. David Steinberg! The twist comes when it is revealed to Sarah that he isn't Jewish as she had assumed. But it's okay, he's toured with 'Fiddler on the Roof' and is sure he can pull it off. Hilarity ensues in this charming comedy as the the two try to keep the charade going.
