Maybe it was a bad episode and I shouldn't judge to harshly, but it sure didn't do much to attract a casual viewer of the show. On a side note, My Name is Earl was funny and did live up to the hype.
No, doesn't sound like it was a BAD epiosde K-ville.... just a TYPICAL episode.
I think they're all like this. THAT'S why the ratings are always low.

Viva 30 Rock??? That sounds worse than the original or even Viva Cavemen.
5th Grader is FUN entertainment. I watched last nights last 30 minutes (after EARL) and enjoyed the game and Billy Bush (first time I have ever seen him).

Don't forget to include that show you like: American Gladiators.
That's Emmy material compared with these two shows
I recognized Conway and Birdgette Nelson, in the promos, but wasn't sure of the others.

Also, it took me a while on "Celebrity Rehab" to figure out that was Jeff Conaway from "Taxi" and not some rocker from a hair band in the 80's. No one could figure out what he was saying. Very Tragic.
It's obviously not everyones taste, but there is simply no comparing 30 rock to VL or Cavemen. VL was canned after 2 eps and ridiculed by the entire industry. Cavemen is still floating around but comes no where near the critical acclaim 30 Rock has garnered. 30 rock has an amazing cast and writing, but will never catch on due to the type of humor. This isnt Everybody Loves Raymond or Roseanne, it will never appeal to the masses unfortunately.

CBS will get the big bump with the NFL playoff game Saturday, plus they have their mini-series premiering Sunday.
FOX should do very well on Sunday with the football runover and the premiere of Terminator:SCC.
I'll go with FOX winning the week.

I think these are correct:
Marc's Fast Nationals - NBC 3.7, FOX 3.6, ABC 2.8, CBS 2.8.
Heres' the list: This series will follow the real-life experiences of Brigitte Nielsen, Chyna, Daniel Baldwin, Jeff Conaway, Jessica Sierra, Jaimee Foxworth, Seth "Shifty" Binzer, Mary Carey, and Ricco Rodriguez as they undergo detoxification and treatment at a center in the Los Angeles area.

Who the hell ar Jessica Sierra, Jaimee Foxworth, Seth "Shifty" Binzer, Mary Carey, and Ricco Rodriguez???
Jessica Sierra was on American idol. Mary Carey is a porn star. Jaimee Foxworth was on Family Matteres and then became a porn star. Seth Binzer was the lead singer of a not-so-famous band named Crazy Horse, and Ricco Rodriguez is an UFC fighter.

I didn't watch the show, but caught the last minute as I was waiting for ER to start. The preview for next week's Apprentice suggested that they would 'finally show what started it all' between Simmon's and baby Trump. Clearly, Simmons is being edited for the Omarosa 'bad guy' role this season.
As for the show...I saw the person that got booted give their final comments. Two weeks in a row that I have had no idea who the 'celebrity' even is. Honestly, you would think that Trump could get some real celebs for his show.

ABC has a 2-hour EM: HE and B&S. FOX has the premiere of Sarah Connor Chronicles after the playoff game. CBS has Comanche Moon, and NBC has the awful replacement for the Golden Globes.
