You have to be kidding…. we loved this show and just found out it’s been cancelled. NBC, you need some people working for you that actually have a brain in their heads…. this was a great show! You didn’t even give it a chance.

Show was really interesting needed more time to grow on people, they should give it another season to see how well it will do, series like this need time to get into it. I started watching it from the day one, wife hated it and I kept watching said you will see how it goes, soon she got hocked on it, and now asking if its going to come back or was it like a mini series.

[...] but I have zero expectations for this show, likely due to the egg Slater laid with last year’s My Own Worst Enemy. The Forgotten premieres on September 22nd. Later this fall, we’ll be treated to a reimagining of [...]

I thought the show was really interesting and I wanted character resolution. Perhaps you guys should find a new way to market a short series…like movies used to be in mini-series. This would allow for resolution–you left me hanging!

I can’t believe NBC cancelled this show. I loved every minute of it. HUGE MISTAKE!! Christian Slater is brilliant in this. Seriously give the show to a different network so the rest of us loyal followers can continue to enjoy the show.

This was such a great show. I can’t believe they canceled such a good quality show. There is so much trash (reality show etc….) on TV. It is getting harder to find good quality television shows. Such a great concept, and great cast. Too bad NBC didn’t have the stomach to stick it out.

I loved this show! It was GREAT! NBC always cancels the great ones! I used to sit with my mom and watch every monday night even though I had to be at work 4:30 am the next morn. As far as ratings go, maybe it was off to a slow start due to cheesy promos but once you got into it, you were hooked.

Sell this show to SCI FI, im sure they would pick it up, and later NBC would buy it back because it is a great show, the advertising for it was not good (too cheesy) but once people watch the show most get hooked.

Poor choice NBC

If there is anyone who will pick this show up and continue to run the series, i will get a following of viewers. Lets go. Great series. Great idea! awesome acting! intelligent writing! good show.

For sure what the F__K I didn’t even know the show was cancelled,and this sucks about as bad as Journey man being cancelled, talk about just geting into watching a show and it’s like poof it’s gone. Bring back both put them on a night that has no other goods shows on. You ask witch days take your pick Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but not the weekends people have a life and go out except on Sundays. Come on now everyone likes Monday for a good show give me a break.

I don’t get broadcast TV in my house but my husband and I like to watch and purchase movies and certain TV shows. I found My Own Worst Enemy on Amazon, and we watched the entire season in one sitting, we loved it. I can’t believe it was canceled and there won’t be a season 2? It was such a great show, great premise for a show anyway.

Man what the hell is up with these networks, they need an erea on their website’s where they take a vote to cancel a show or not, i mean i guess if a show drops from 7 to 4 million viewers in 4 episodes you could start talking about cancelation but danm ask the viewers first!!!!!!!!!!!

They are ******** up bad on this one, i thought this show was a great watch, and i was just getting in to it. Good acting and an even better story, I mean how do they justify putting something on the chopping block after four episodes….. I didn’t even have time to tell anyone ” hey check this show out its BA” the only show that remotely resembles this is doll house and come on that show is BAD!!!!! knight rider good riddance but to hack down a great actor like Slater is dumb that show would have gone places.. If they kill heroes im done.. PS.. different network but Fringe must go on and Dexter destroys all, thanks for reading my rant… Peace!!!!!!!!!!

I gave up watching television 3 years ago because the majority of “entertainment” that Networks produce is garbage. I don’t even have rabbit ears. I found a commercial for MOWE on a DVD and checked it out on NBC. I thought, “Well, well, there is hope for the flowers! Cerebral Entertainment with meat.”
I don’t know what to be more disappointed with, Networks who won’t stand behind their quality work for a minority of quality viewers or the mindless masses who prefer garbage. I suspect that the major networks will always cater to the “fast food” mentality because there’s more of them and that’s the one draw backs to Capitalism.

We LOVED My own worst enemy and were excited every week…and then it was cancelled and now FOX has Dollhouse, which is such a watered down version of My Own Worst Enemy. Dollhouse seems to be just an excuse to get more men watching a show, My Own Worst Enemy has an actual plot, and was miles better than Dollhouse!

Good show and canceled? I really enjoyed it and could actually say it was interesting, more than most. Wonder why it wasn’t a big hit. Time slot, ok or don’t have any taste any more?

Why would you cancel one of your best new shows??? Fox has a lot of “good”…I’m not really a fan of “Fox” but for some reason the major networks haven’t come up with many “thought provoking” fiction shows. I LOVED “My own worse enemy” , I got my daughters watching it and they love it too. The writing is off the wall….finally something for the more mature viewer…and you are going to CANCEL it????? Who is watching the helm here???? Maybe Fox should pick it up, they seem to have the edge when it comes to shows that grab you and make you think.
Hopefully one of the networks will. We really, really enjoy this program.

I can’t believe the show has been canceled. Everybody says Mondays suck, but I thought they didn’t, but now Mondays suck because My Own Worst Emeny isn’t airing any more. I really loved this show too now I’ll just have to find something else to watch on t.v. on hatefull Mondays.

I was VERY disappointed when I discovered that My Own Worst Enemy had been cancelled. I love the story of Jekyll and Hyde and it was very refreshing to see something done RIGHT for a change! Christian Slater pulled of the switches VERY well; I was drawn in from the first episode. I would not have been NEARLY as upset as I am if they had actually concluded the show in such a way that it wrapped things up, but as it is, I am VERY annoyed. Every single viewer that was watching and loving this show was highly disappointed.

Viewers, if you’re looking for something spectacular along the lines of this story, check out the BBC mini-series “Jekyll.” It is truly amazing.

I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS SHOW WAS CANCELLED!! WTF NBC – are you serious?!? The comments above are right – this show started out a bit slow but was just hitting its grove, and NOW you’re pulling the plug?? Your programming director seriously needs to be FIRED. My husband and I don’t have many TV shows in common, but this was one that we watched and enjoyed together. We were always excited to see the new episodes waiting for us on our DVR, and are extremely disappointed that there won’t be anymore. We just finished the “last” episode, and can’t believe the show’s going to end that way!

NBC used to be the undisputed King of late night television – even when cable shows were starting to pull viewers away. Well now cable has nothing to do with it. It’s no wonder you’re losing viewers when you keep cancelling your best shows and keep crap like Knight Rider on the air. What’s next on your hit list – Life and Law and Order? Because those are the only good shows you have left….

Dave — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:14:46 +0000

Typical – cancel a good show that has a plot and fleshed out characters but keep crap like Americal Idol or Dancing with the stars on the air. This is why I don’t watch network TV – they keep canceling the shows I like.

What the heck are you guys doing up there? Are you crazy? How could you cancel such a great series? Perhaps you guys should consult the viewers through surveys or something before making such harsh decisions because it is quite obvious the boss is listening to a bunch of airheads. Hello…KEEP MY OWN WORSE ENEMY ON THE LINEUP. Nuff said.

This was a great show. It’s too bad the network didn’t give it a chance. The others are right-the show should do better now that MNF is over. I also watch a daytime soap on NBC. But not any longer. I have taken NBC off of my channel listings.

Such a good show! Christian Slater did an excellent job! When I watched the first one I thought that if the series doesnt work, they could really do a great movie with this script. Hope someone is reading the blogs. Good job Slater you did incredible.

Are you kidding me?

That is so pathetic.

First of all, you put it on a Monday night during MNF. No wonder why the 18-49 demographic might be hard to get. Not only that its a NEW SHOW. Millions of viewers watched, perhaps more will tune in after word of mouth advertisement.

I told two of my friends to start watching the show and they started liking it.

Its pathetic how NBC would do this.

I sure do hope a network can pick it up..that and Heroes if they decide to ditch that too. Those two shows made my Monday night.

By: Scott

Scott — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 04:12:40 +0000

Wait, just thought about it. What do you expect when you go up against MNF? Most shows will probably do better on Mondays after the Season is over, but that seems to be when they cancel everything.

I agree with several of the other posts. If you start something… you should be obligated to finish it!!! If it gets cancelled… fine… at least do the last episode to conclude the show for the millions of viewers who were watching it. I’m done with NBC until they decide to do the right thing… finish what you start!!!

Looks like NBC has done it again. I was totally ticked off when they canceled Las Vegas last year and left all the viewers hanging. I swore I wouldn’t watch that channel again. Then I got hooked on MOWE, (the only inovative show in a long time)
and BANG, NBC canceled it, again with viewers hanging. Goodbye NBC. It will take a long time for me to watch anything on this channel again.

# 114 dropped an atom bomb of knowledge for everyone. I agree totally n was gonna say something similar between technology n the fast pace world I dont watch my shows live but thanks 2 my tivo I don’t nor should I be forced 2 for fear of lack of viewers or ratings canceling my shows. I watch my Monday programming including “My Own Worst Enemy” on Wed my day-off. I think that it was an excellent show dat had lots more room fro growth n potential….put out 2 pasture b4 it ever reached its prime what a shame Im real pissed about this.

I didn’t think I was going to like this show, even though I’m a huge Christian Slater fan, since the days of “Legend of Billie Jean”. I forced myself to watch the first episode, and when it was over, I said to myself, it wasn’t bad. I decided to watch the second episode, an undoubtedly became hooked on it. This became the third show in my Monday night lineup, after “Sarah Connor Chronicles”, and “Heroes”. This show was my closer for Monday night!!! Now it’s over? If people want bad reality shows they can watch “YouTube” if you want Great Quality Television shows you turn on “My Own Worst Enemy” !!!

I agree this show was very good and the plot could have 100 different directions at any given time, and the way they ended it really made me angry. Maybe NBC feels like intentionally pissing off all their viewers.

This is a huge disappointment! I know I watched every week and was interested in it. It’s a shame they would cancel a good show and leave bad ones still on. I didn’t even know until I didn’t come on tonight and searched for the season finale date online!!

Sickening. My favorite shows the the winter 2008/fall 2008 seasons combined were 1.New Amsterdam 2.Terminator 3.My Own Worse Enemy. Now 2 of the 3 are gone and Terminator is moved to friday deadzone, so it will be canceled soon as well. Guess i should thank TV execs for forcing me away from the TV. I already dont watch tv Tuesday-Saturday. (even stopped watching all 3 Law and Orders) Monday was the best nice with Terminator/Heroes/MOWE all in a row.

Sigh. I swear

I actually took the time to join the NBC panel — something I would rarely do. NBC (and ABC) have lost the ball for what makes good television. It’s not reality TV — those shows aren’t even allowed on in my household — none of them!
Thought provoking storylines and great character development makes a show great — and that can’t be done in 4 episodes when they cancelled it.
And — everyone in the last 30 yrs have changed how we watch TV — VCRs, TiVos, DVRs, and the internet — I don’t have to sit in front of your 60 minutes — 17 minutes of commercial dictated programming. You can cancel and waste money or learn from your mistakes.
Big television is dead like the automakers they have failed to adapt to technology and the changing needs of the public’s desires in a timely fashion.

…and did you notice that the show was really hitting it’s stride in the last few weeks. They canceled this show just a few in before getting a chance to build. Seinfeld was not great the first few episodes…but it hit it’s stride and went on to be HUGE. I wonder if the show was called Law & Order: My Own Worst Enemy, if that would have allowed it to stay. Seems like they have a half dozen shows (and it works for CBS with CSI spin offs). SUCKS!!! Same thing happened last year with Journeyman.

You finally put something on that people will watch (other then reality shows for teens) and you drop it this quick… I am sure you do not care about me wasting 5 min of my life to make these comment, but I for one will be removing your channel from my TV listing. I guess if enough people did that, you would reconsider, but there are far too many teens watching your reality shows for this to make an impact. I hope your sponsors do well with the big spenders. Back to watching re-runs on TBS .When will the reality shows end!!!!!

So how long til Kath & Kim gets cancelled? I’m surprised it is still on. Maybe this will get picked up by FOX or CBS. NBC has to lose at least 5 shows from their primetime lineup since Leno will be going to 10 o’clock.

I completely agree with what you guys are saying, this show went into emotions which no one felt like feeling, so finally a great cast on a show which made you think a little bit gets cancelled, that’s what some people who don’t like this show are coming to, and it sucks for us who like shows like these that are this interesting.

Seriously. This is a great show, one of the most original in years. Plus Madchen Amick is hot. It really needs an audience. One of the networks needs to pick it up, quick.
