Well you dont need that many rules for what you want to do, i just setup channels for every show like this
Channel 20: type: tv show: the simpsons
Channel 21: same as above but with south park
Channel 22: big bang theory
Channel 23: malcolm in the middle
Channel 24: etc...
If you are using other kind of videos you can make the channel out of a folder with your videos or put of a smart playlist
Then in my channel i setup my rules, lets say my channel is a comedy tv channel, so i go into de channel advanced options and choose best effort channel scheduling like this:
Best effort channel scheduling
Channel 20
Episodes: 1 (play only one episode)
Time: 20:00 (select hour in a 24 hour format)
Days: umtwhfs (each letter corresponds to a day of the week starting with sunday)
Starting episode: 1 (episodes are selected randomly, i guess this is for when you select to play in order)
Starting date: i just select today's date
Rinse and repeat for every channel you made for every channel you made
Im not sure what problems you had to make rules, if this is not what you where asking for maybe you can use pseudotv manager
