NBC has certainly had some problems attracting viewers. One of their biggest trouble spots has been Monday nights at 10pm. Great shows like Journeyman, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and The Black Donnellys have all tried and failed. My Own Worst Enemy hasn't done any better. My Own Worst Enem...

By Josh Lasser(noreply@blogger.com) I'm seeing this as something like finale week. Heroes aired its final episode of "Volume Three" last night, My Own Worst Enemy put out its last episode, and Pushing Daisies is doing its finale on Wednesday night. While I imagine that Pushing Daisies will make me sad, I definitely didn't feel...

I'm worried about NBC. One of the great broadcasters. An incredible, rich, varied, extraordinary history. Purveyor of so many shows and personalities that American life and culture would be unrecognizable had NBC never existed at all. It's just an amazing, amazing place.

By editor@buddytv.com Despite lots of investment, both in production (how else can you wheel in Christian Slater?) and promotion, My Own Worst Enemy has been ultimately cancelled.  It's just an indicator of the hard times NBC has gotten itself into: this season is proving to be its biggest failure in a while, wi...

By Daniel(noreply@blogger.com) On one hand, "My Own Worst Enemy" is trippy and confusing fun. Christian Slater plays cold-blooded government agent Edward Albright as well as milquetoast-y management consultant Henry Spivey. It's a bit disappointing that an opening scene doesn't allow Edward to bludgeon a Russian sp...

By Rogers Cadenhead I tried My Own Worst Enemy a few times and thought it was fun to see Slater argue with himself in video voicemail, but the series made some odd decisions, like casting pudgy comic Mike O'Malley as an international superspy.
