The Apprentice: Martha Stewart: Virginia Sherwood

The Apprentice: Martha Stewart

Wednesdays, 8 p.m., NBC (debuts Sept. 21)

What It's About In a spin-off of NBC's popular Donald Trump vehicle, 16 competitors duke it out in challenges related to Martha's areas of expertise, including home renovation, entertaining, merchandising, and style; the winner gets a job at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia.

Why It's Worthy Whether you love Martha or hate her, it'll be hard to resist taking a peek at one of the world's most powerful, polarizing, and perfection-seeking businesswomen as she puts her minions through their paces.

Scene Stealer Oh, come on now. Is anyone tuning in to see Martha's sidekicks, company chairman Charles Koppelman (right) and daughter Alexis (left)? Didn't think so.
