Oddly enough, two of the ones mentioned above still had movie careers, albeit in ensembles casts. A;ec Baldwin was incredible in the Cooler. Kevin Bacon was fantastic in Mystic River.

I think the next Hollywood flops won't be fading movie stars, as much as we'll begin to see celebutantes trying to act... Nicole Ritchie, Kimberly Stewart, etc... And those shows will fail!

Stupid NBC. Ican't see more than one season out of this show before it becomes as tedious as Lost, but I could see one season of solid, interesting storytelling.

Now what? Yet another night of Deal or No Deal?

Note to people developing interesting shows that require a little thought from the audience: if you don't get picked up by ABC don't bother with broadcast networks. Remember Firefly, Briscoe County Jr, Journeyman, and now My Own Worst Enemy.

"Bette" was one of four heavily hyped shows starring big names that came out that season. The other three shows were "The Geena Davis Show", "The Michael Richards Show", and "Normal, Ohio" starring John Goodman. Although Richards and Goodman are mostly known from their former TV characters, they did attempt to foray into movies (Trial and Error, The Flintstones). All four of those shows combimed to produce a total of 18 episodes of bleh!

Damn - it was complicated but I was enjoying this show :(

I knew this show was not going to work. Besides, the original British version was much better. It was a show called Jekyll and Hyde. One man with two lives. Jekyll, a husband and father the other, Hyde, a cold blooded killer and they were totally oblivious to the details of each other's lives. Oh...and the assistant to Jekyll/Hyde was no other than the woman who played Jamie Summers in NBC's botched revival of the Bionic Woman last season.

I agree! Except I could see more than one season....but yeah, Lost has become tedious...I stopped watching in Season Three or Four....

But Word! to Journeyman, and Firefly.....

I agree I LOVE the show. I just think it's on too late. Needs to be on at the 8 or 9pm slot. possibly different night? He's a GREAT actor and deserves another chance!!!

One would have thought that having Slater in the lead on this show would have enticed a larger audience to sample it. But, after those who adore the CSI cast and everyone else watching the Football game; not many were left to find MOWE. Too bad! It's really quite entertaining, particularly with Christian Slater doing such a magnificent job portraying two unique characters who are supposed to remain separate but communicate with each other to save each other from behaving inappropriately. What great fun!
I'll surely miss this adventure. The Show's interactive element was great fun too. Giving their audience the opportunity to apply for a job as a spy, get hired, issued a credential, password and secret documents for background and spoiler fun to try.

I'm surprised you didn't mention Jeff Goldblum's recent attempt at TV in "Raines". Or as I like to call it "What if the Kid from the 'Sixth Sense' Grew up, still saw dead people, used said dead head's knowledge to solve crimes and looked like Jeff Goldblum".

I love this show!! I got it! Maybe they should've moved it to a Friday time slot before they cancelled it. It really was a good show

Petitions never work. The only canceled show that I can recall being brought back was "Family Guy", and I suspect that had more to do with the DVD sales going through the roof, and they realized that there was a lot more money to be made off the show than they thought. Always comes down to money, doesn't it?

Call it the "Lost Effect". If any show starts looking overly complicated, "BAM", replace it with cheap (comparatively) reality shows or gameshows. Too bad intelligent television is so hard to keep around.

I totally agree! I love this show and so does my husband. It was finally a show that was entertaining for the mind and kept you on your toes. Let me know if a petition starts..I'll sign it!

Sad to see the show go but Christian is a Great actor and I hope he can land something soon

I love MOWE! I can't believe they are keeping Knight rider and canceling this show. What a joke. I hope another network comes in and saves it like ABC did with "Scrubs". If this is too intelligent for the American people, that doesn't say much for the rest of the viewers, does it? But it could explain why Rush Limbaugh and Jerry Springer are so popular.

I agree! I love this show! Finally, a smart, exciting drama that thinks outside the normal detective show box. I am so sad to see MOWE go! I'll sign your petition! Who do we bombard with our emails???

This show was setup to fail from the start the time slot was 10pm on a Monday night yeah that would work well.

My Own Worst Enemy shouldn't have been canceled in my opinion. It's a lot better than many of the cop shows that have enjoyed numerous seasons and spins off. I prefer My Own Worst Enemy it over a lot of the mindless shows that we see picked up year after year. I'm hoping another network will be smart enough to pick up My Own Worst Enemy, Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies, Journeyman, Canterbury's Law, and The Women's Murder Club. All of which were interesting and well written. The networks really need to stop dumbing down television. My Own Worst Enemy was not complicated to follow. It's less complicated than Heroes and Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles, which are also my favorites

This show was really awesome! I thought Christian Slater did a fantastic job playing two roles!! I don't know why it was cancelled. I think it was the time slot or more likely the night it was on. Other shows already had a steady following. So Christian's show didn't have the chance of even being veiwed. Bummer
