It's not a good thing

Dark days for the Diva of Domesticity. Martha Stewart's prime time offering The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, is officially the worst show rated program on NBC.

After four episodes the mean side of Martha has tumbled down the black hole of Neilson ratings, leaving even the Donald unimpressed. Trump who marketed his franchise program off to Martha, is making rumblings that it's quite unlikely that there will be a Martha II next year.

In a bid to help Martha retool the brand so to speak, Steve Tilley of the Edmonton Sun offers up a few suggestions to give the show some hope. He also figures that NBC had little faith to begin with, since they scheduled it up against the ABC monster hit LOST.

There really is only one solution though to the mess that has become Martha in prime time, The Donald should call her in to his offices on the set of The Apprentice and offer her those two little words that seem to only weeks away. "You're Fired!"

Betcha the ratings would jump for that episode.
