To borrow a phrase from the domestic diva herself, it appears The Apprentice: Martha Stewart is having a little trouble fitting into NBC's Wednesday lineup. The much-hyped spin-off debuted with a measly 7.6 million viewers and ranked a distant No. 2 behind ABC's Lost clips special. Speaking of Lost, a whopping 23 million viewers followed Jack and Co. into the hatch (Hi, Desmond!), and most of them — 16.8 million to be exact — stuck around at 10 pm for the series premiere of Invasion. And over on Fox, Head Cases completely lost it in its second week, drawing just over 3 million viewers. On the bright side, I'm so gonna win TV Guide's "Which show will get axed first?" office pool. Just kidding. There's no office pool. Gambling is illegal. (Tee-hee.)
