Again, look at the actual numbers. It's doing about as well as My Name Is Earl in the ratings. People are watching this and it doesn't reek of desperation from NBC's part. This show is averaging an 18-49 rating that is much, much higher than Pushing Daisies and on a network that expects less. In fact, Kath & Kim's 18-49 rating is higher than NBC's average. If it pulls the same numbers from now until the end of the season, it and Earl will be locks to be renewed.
