It was the only show that I watched on NBC faithfully. After the football season I have no reason to change the channel to NBC. The show is original, intelligent and a definite change of pace from the CSI's and all the other spin offs. Bring back my favorite new show!! I was hooked...

My Own Worst Enemy is the only show my husband and I both enjoy watching. It is very hard for us both to agree upon anything...he likes pure action, I like plot and character development. "Bones" was our show for a few seasons until the writing went downhill. We were on the way to turning off the cable completely and reaching for the Scrabble board, when we discovered My Own Worst Enemy. It has great action, an intriguing plot and excellent acting.

We are not going to give up on this show, and sure hope NBC doesn't either!!! Give it a chance!!! Give it some additional publicity!!!

I was under the impression that they were going to air the last nine epsisodes, but they aren't going to give the show an actual ending....am I wrong?

The ONE night a week I watch television, and NBC decides to kill one of the best parts of it? Maybe intelligent, well written and superbly acted television just doesn't cut it anymore.. Oh well, i can always go back to internet gaming

I just heard this show was being canceled and I'm stunned. There are not many shows out there that I watch, but this is one of them, as a matter of fact, it is the only show that I do NOT miss on Mondays. I have watched it from the on-set and yes it does need a little fine-tuning here and there, but give it a chance to evolve. It's intriguing and is a show I recommend to everyone who asks about it. There are so many things out there that I will not watch, but this show is not one of them. I have really grown to like the show. After the first episode I wasn't completely sold, I'll admit that. But I haven't missed an episode yet and there is so many places to go with this and it continues to get better and better. I really hope a petition goes around or something to protest, because yes, I'd sign it. Alfrie Woodard is superb, Christian Slater is, well Christian Slater - I think he does an astronomical job of playing two leads. It gets better every week and I sure will hate to see it go.

RE-THINK THIS ONE NBC - PLEASE!

I'm with you all on the frustration with the cancellation. And especially with the sentiment of why bother learning a new storyline when nbc goes fickle. geez, no wonder everyone's giving up on networks.

Dear NBC,

You have very few shows this season that are even mildly entertianing.Chuck is fun for family hour, as is Crusoe.Since these are good, well writen, family entertaiment shows , I doubt you will hold onto them very long. I have come to expect that from you. I was happy to find a new show this fall that did not mold itself out of L&O or CSI. Not family, but great for the adult that wants a little more out of a show than fingerprint dust. This too, I did not expect to last long on your station. You did not suprise me. So please go back to the drawing board and give me another rehash of something twice baked, just like I expect. Dont try for clever and get rid of any writers with that have passed puberty. We wouldn't to think that hard. Apparently, you don't either. You've got KITT to do that for you, right?

You are your own worst enemy.

I can't believe the only interesting new show on network TV is being cancelled. I watch online so it doesn't matter to me when it airs.

I like Christian Slater and the analyst character is getting interesting (Oh I hope the writers don't make her nicey nice)

Heroes needs writers...they are just chasing their tales having lost track of what made that show interesting (Clue: Hiro) You might as well cancel it too.

Oh well, back to Netflix instant view which carries CBS shows and STARZ as well as a nice stock of movies.

http://www.savemowe.com/ to save the show

Medium is usually an off-season show that starts in January. Why, I don't know. I like it too when it is available.

I watch the shows online since reception is poor here in the mountains.

I'm astonished NBC would cancel such a good show before it's hardly out of the gate. There are so many totally "won't be missed" shows they could axe instead.

I want to know more about that analyst. Moonlighting 2 jobs...one as a hitperson???? LOL

Christian Slater is cool.

This is what I wrote when I signed the petition. I think this best explains how I feel about this terrible idea to cancel such a ground breaking, original, amazing show. NBC can't afford to make too many big mistakes, so I really feel they should reconsider this one.:


This is the best written and executed TV show that's been aired in years. I really believe it would be in the network's best interest to give it another shot. I've never cared about any TV show enough to sign a petition to keep it on the air. This one is different.

Question to consider: Are ratings counted on shows that are TiVo'ed or DVR'ed? The primary demographic for this show is approximately 25-45. These are the people who are just getting their careers going and still balancing a social life. These are the people that watch all their TV from their electronic recording devices, and if you're not taking that into account, you may be missing a large fan base.

Also your marketing scheme is way off. You should be more clear about the actual premise in your advertisements. The show is much more clever than it appears to be.

I am so frustrated the NBC has cancelled My Own Worst Enemy! This is a great show and NBC did not give it time to find an audience. I cannot believe that they are going to air a Rosie O'Donnell variety show and cancel Enemy! I think it lends credence to the argument that NBC is out of touch with viewers.

When I first heard about the cancellation I was on the fence. After last night's episode however I came to realize the complexity of the story arc takes a little longer to get an audience fully engaged. Alias had the advantage of being able to hook the audience right away because of the wall to wall action in each episode. I'm not saying MOWE needs more action, although it couldn't hurt, at least until you get them hooked in. I'm saying the audience needs more time to come to the table on this one. I suspect the production costs (including Christian Slater's salary) makes this show a riskier venture than usual. You don't win ratings wars by always taking the safe bet or by having silly-assed thinly plotted shows built around a one hour Ford commercial, thereby subsidizing much of the production costs. Grow some cajone's NBC!!!!

Sincerely,

Former NBC viewer

I think we should all hit the local Radio Shack, buy some cheap computer chips and do a mail in campaign for the show...

Totally agree. Please keep the show!!

I don't understand it.
They have the best story-line/plot spy adventure to ever be on TV.
Exceptionally visual sets and backgrounds.
Talent that we love and admire.
Smashingly good adventures, complications, twists and turns.
Endless possibilities for character and plot development.
And, instead of trying to place the show on some other night, against some new programming less audience established than Monday Night NFL Football and CSI Miami; they scrap the whole deal for who-knows-what, that couldn't possibly be as entertaining as My Own Worst Enemy.
NBC, ... you are your own worst enemy! Taking this show off the weekly schedule is a huge mistake.
Blowing it up, with its great potential, is a real bad move you'll soon regret.

NBC-please reconsider the cancelation of MOWE! So many of these postings are correct. Slater plays a fascinating character so brilliantly!!! I've always been of fan of his and he's only gotten better with age. This series seems to have been written for him. The show is smart and I can see it only getting better as each week brings out new possibilities and ideas. We as the viewing audience have not only invested our time and commitment to this series but we appreciate "good tv" something we don't get today with the reality shows. Listen to what your audience wants and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP MY OWN WORST ENEMY ON THE AIR!!!! The people have spoken!!!! Listen to US!!!

I agree. Postcards or something. It seems to be working over on the Lipstick Jungle board. They are mailing lipsticks to NBC in NYC and LA.

does anyone know how to find an address for the executives?

I've seen a rumor Rosie O'Donnel and and her new variety show are going to get that time slot. If that's the case I hope they lose their ass.

I must say I NEVER comment on forums...but when I heard this show was getting cancelled I just had to say something. This is the first show in a loooong time that I've really come to enjoy, and I will be completely devastated if it does get cancelled. It's a gem of a show, and I hope it stays.

another..please keep this show going...Slater is a keeper..

I'll do it!

If NBC can change it's mind about Lipstick Jungle because the fans sent lipstick, then we need to be creative. So, let's all email Chevy, the major sponsor and let them know that we would appreciate their continuing sponsorship and ask them to make the network put the show in a decent time slot and give it a chance. And also, let them know how unhappy we would be if they gave up on the show too.

The Chevy contact link is http://www.chevrolet.com/contactus/getinformation/ which leads to an email form. If you click "I have a comment about your advertisements " then you will get a form with a space for comments.

I find it hard to believe that "Lipstick Jungle" fans are more passionate about their show than we are.

BTW, as with many of you, this is my first time caring enough about a show to even go to the show web site, let alone join a message board. NBC should consider that the people they are upsetting by not giving this show a chance are people who previously didn't care enough about tv shows to get involved. Now they are; that has to be worth something, doesn't it?

Done and done. Great idea!

I e-mailed them and told them they could loose "potential customers" if they did not step up and "make"NBC keep the show and move it to a better night.
I also went to M.O.W.E. Myspace Fan page and Christian Slater's Official Website and posted the link there.

NBC gave Lip Stick Jungle 1 WHOLE season to gain fans(even though their show's ratings are lower then M.O.W.E's are now!) M.O.W.E only got 4 epp, b/f it was "sacrificed"!

I too, e-mailed Chevy and told them that NBC is messing around with their money in a bad way, and this could cause fans of both Chevy and NBC to revolt.

It's not just about Christian Slater. Overall the entire show is great. The story, production design, acting, stunts, etc. Are you cancelling because there's no sexy product placement (like a black Mustang, perhaps)? If that's part of the problem, try doing what was done in the movie, "The Minority Report". The Lexus logo was used on that red car. Have a company's logo on all those futuristic computers used in Janus (Dell, HP, Apple, Sony, Samsun, LG etc.). Ask them if they'd like to showcase future product concepts on the show. It might help, NBC. If this network keeps cancelling quality shows, NBC could soon also stand for NoBody Cares, or Nothing But Crap.

Guess what? I just got an actual reply from some one at GM thanking me for the email. It wasn't just an autoreply because they specifically thanked me for emailing about their sponsorship of MOWE.

WHO ARE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE MAKING THE STUPID MOVE TO CANCEL 'MY OWN WORST ENEMY'?



This show is sooo good. I record mine on my digital recorder, and the tv usually isn't even on the channel it's recording.

People, how can you tell what I'm watching if I'm recording something on another station. Sometimes I watch a show on a completely different station, while recording something else on another station to watch later.

I love Life, Knight Rider, My Own Worst Enemy, and Life on Mars. I can't believe you would make this redic. decision to cancel this show. I also miss the Journeyman, which so many loved.

Please keep Christian Slater and this series. It is very good.

Thanks for this link! I just sent an email! I also suggested they come read these boards.

At first I was thinking that MOWE"s best bet was to be picked up by another network.
But then I read that Christian signed a 7 year deal with nbc.

So are they going to make 6 more fantastic new shows and cancel them all after FOUR EPISODES?

Knuckleheads.

I love Life, but I'm so sad that they want to cancel My Own Worst Enemy. I love that show, as well as Life on Mars and Raising the Bar.

Please don't cancel MOWE!!!!!!!

PLEASE HEAR OUR VOICES AND DON'T CANCEL MY OWN WORST ENEMY. COOL NAME, COOL SHOW, COOL ACTOR.
I record this show while watching other things. Sometimes I record 2 shows at once while watching a previously recorded show/movie. How can you tell what all the people are watching if they are recording on digital dvd players?
THIS IS A HUGE MISTAKE.

THIS SHOW HAD SO MANY COOL PLACES TO GO WITH THEIR SCRIPT. WHY CANCEL THIS GREAT SHOW?

COOL NAME, COOL SHOW, COOL ACTOR. Not a cool decision to cancel.

Ha Ha! I had just that thought a couple of days ago. My uncle rebuilds computers so he could give me some burnt out ones to match Edward/Henry.

Oh, and I don't know if this is the right one, but I found an address for NBC studios. If anyone knows a better one, it would be appreciated.

NBC Studios

I ran on over to the the Lipstick Jungle board to see if they had any more info on contacting NBC. I found two other avenues.

Jamie French
Director of NBC Entertainment Publicity
PHONE: (818) 777-2835
E-mail: jamie.french@nbcuni.com

I already called and left him a message on his voice mail. It must be his personal number because he leaves his cell phone number in the message. I didn't call that one. I thought it might be overkill, but it is out there. I e-mailed him too.

The other one seems to be a CA bigwig. His info is:

Mr. Silverman

Universal City, CA 91608

I can't believe that MOWE is being cancelled. Every Monday since it has started, I've told my husband I was going up to the bedroom to watch tv because I had a date with Henry & Edward. This is a great show. Aren't we all getting tired of Reality TV? It has gone beyond out of control. It's nice to watch something that keeps your interest, that makes you think, that makes you frustrated that you have to wait another week to see it again. Heroes is becoming the dud of NBC. A few episodes of MOWE and it's being cancelled? The country has hardly had the opportunity to see where this program is going. What are the execs of NBC thinking? Oh, that's right. . . they aren't.

You have got to be kidding me! Cancel MOWE? Are they out of their freaking minds? I have recorded every episode so far and watch them all the time after work. I cant believe anyone could be so stupid as to cancel such a great show. Its like they are saying that they dont care about the fact that they have a great show that keeps us all in our seats, a great actor and I love the story to it! I love watching Edward have to fix the few mistakes of Henry and watching Henry argue with 'himself'. It's funny!

If any of the Executives of NBC are here this, let me state that you are making a mistake canceling MOWE! Dont do it! You Will Lose a lot of viewers, including me, my whole family and all of my friends. This is too good of a show for you to cancel!

So I fell asleep Monday night during My Own Worst Enemy and just watched the episode on line (thank you NBC). While watching it the following thoughts ran through my mind.

1: This is a really good show; good writing, good acting. Christian Slater is excellent and the supporting cast shows a job well done by the entire producing staff in getting the right people for an excellent show.

It's a shame that NBC didn't stick with it.

I keep reading in the papers and magazines about NBC having a hard time getting people to watch their shows and I'm thinking - Monday: I turn on NBC and stay with it from 8 - 11; Wednesday from 9 - 11. That's 5 really great shows that they have on!

My Own Worst Enemy and Life should have been featured on USA network as well as NBC as part of USA' Friday nights or even Bravo for additional viewership.

I understand that it's too late for My Own Worst Enemy but honestly, what a shame because as the story evolved it only got better and more people would have been drawn to it.

Life on the other hand - is the best show on TV - keep it on and thanks for giving it a pick up for the entire season.

This is really a super show. These few eps. don't prove anything one way or another as far as ratings go. How can they tell if it's being recorded when your recording two at the same time, or watching one show and recording the other? This is a great idea and they should have run with it, not cry about the ratings. Put it on a different night. Christian Slater is doing a great job! What a foolish decision on the powers that be.

I agree. There are more good shows on now than really ever before. The writers are doing well! My Own Worst Enemy is a great show. It's up there with Life, Life on Mars, Burn Notice, Eli Stone, and Psych. These shows are so entertaining and fun to watch. It's what tv is all about, entertainment! Bad and sad choice to cancel this great show. Love Christian Slater also.

I found this link which will take you to an NBC form where you can comment.

http://www.nbc.com/Footer/Contact_Us/?__status=1

Go to the pulldown menu. MOWE isn't listed, but you can click "other" and email you comments to NBC. I am beginning to think, that no one from NBC is reading this forum. Email might be more effective.....

NBC stop canceling shows we like! Please keep MOWE on the air.

NBC - I hope you read the forums on your own shows. MOWE is great - Christian Slater is an amazingly good actor - one of my favs for a long time - and he only gets better with age. The cast is terrific on this show and the potential for intelligent and interesting story lines is huge. Please let us keep MOWE - there is so little on TV worth watching anymore - don't take away the ones that are.

Thanks

NBC YOU SUCK!!!!!

I love my own worst enemy, and you put it on in one of the worst time slots you could! A brand new show against monday night football? Then you cancel it without really even giving it a chance. I think your decision is wrong and you should reconsider. At least try it on a different day. I like the current monday night lineup, but I tape it and watch at another time because Football is on. I think you decision making in reags to this show sucks!!! GIVE MY OWN WORST ENEMY A CHANCE!

Geez, count me in on wanting this show to continue!!!! I can't believe it. Last season they killed Journeyman and this is this seaon's casulaty... Both great promise and excellent shows. What nimrods are making these decisions???
