In "Wrestling with a Sticky Situation" on Sept. 23 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT), Jordan is recruited onto the wrestling team and starts winning by default as there is never anyone to compete against in his weight class. But when he eats himself out of that class, Jordan is forced to lose weight or lose face. Bernie gets some expert advice when superstar pro wrestler Steve Austin joins him in his confessional.

Rosanna Arquette ("Desperately Seeking Susan") guest-stars on the seventh season premiere of MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE Friday, Sept. 30 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. In the "Burning Man" episode, Malcolm and Reese try to sneak off to the Burning Man festival, but when Lois and Hal catch wind of their plans, they decide to borrow an RV and make it a family trip. At the festival, sparks fly between Malcolm and an older shaman (Arquette), Lois learns the joy of hemp and goes topless, and Hal becomes performance art. The festivities come to a screeching halt when the RV goes up in flames.

Beginning Friday, Sept. 30 THE BERNIE MAC SHOW and MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE will air in their regular time periods, 8:00-8:30 PM and 8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT, respectively.
