'30 Rock'(9:30PM, NBC)
It's only the second episode of the season, but Liz Lemon is already facing bigger issues than Tracy and Jenna arguing about the profits of Tracy's pornographic videogame ('Goregasm: The Legend of the Dong-Slayer').
Liz has gotten the dreaded jury duty notice, and she's willing to do nothing less than fly to Chicago to get out of it. But she gets a surprise on the way back when The Big O herself -- guest star Oprah Winfrey, playing Oprah Winfrey -- is sitting next to her on the plane.
Liz sees the chance meeting as her chance to get some of Oprah's self-empowering advice on her life. And Oprah sees Liz as, well, a bit of a whacko.

Fourteen wannabe entrepreneurs vie to win a $100K grand prize from 50 Cent to invest in their business ventures. What does Fiddy know about the business world, you might ask? He has his own clothing line, videogame, Vitamin Water flavor, body spray scent and even his own brand of condoms. So when he calls himself 'the black Donald Trump,' who can argue? Well, the black Donald Trump with infinitely better hair.

Jim and Pam's solution to long-distance romance: Stay on their cell phones with each other 24/7. OK, 'Office' people, this newest little glitch in the "Jam" relationship has been fun for a few episodes, but how's about we go ahead and get these two crazy kids living in the same city again, hmmm?
