NBC Pulls Plug on 'My Own Worst Enemy,' 'Lipstick Jungle'
Christian Slater drama was one of NBC's major fall launches

NBC is pulling the plug on My Own Worst Enemy and Lipstick Jungle.
While there is no official word from NBC, sources say My Own Worst Enemy will complete its ninth episode and no further episodes will be produced.
The Christian Slater drama had failed to catch on in its Monday timeslot at 10pm despite a Heroes lead-in that itself has suffered as of late.
The show, one of NBC’s major fall hopes, was prominently promoted during NBC’s Olympics coverage but the network did not debut it until October 13.
Lipstick Jungle will finish its 13th episode and no additional orders have been made.
The Sex and the City-esque series' future looked gloomy after it was relegated from Wednesdays to Fridays recently as NBC went to a crime-drama focused Wednesday night lineup.
Both shows are from NBC Universal’s Universal Media Studios.

NBC finally puts on a program like ENEMY and then doesn't back it up. Finest show on telvision.

Darn....I really like this show and watch it religiously including the
commercials. Please let NBC know I am one disappointed viewer who has
lots of friends that also love this program. I believe their could be a
group of women and men our there they don't hear from-like Candice
Bushnell's other show.

I love Lipstick Jungle; it's a breath of freah among Law & Order re-runs, and crime show wannabe's. Please bring it back and dump Jeff Zucker. Zucker was a good Exec Producer of the Today Show but has been awful as he moved up the ladder. No wonder NBC is in last place.

NBC ought to be getting rid of Jeff Zucker and Ben Silverman, as well as the other dead-wood driving NBC deep into the ground... instead of pulling the plug on shows, like "My Own Worst Enemy" and "Lipstick Jungle". I believe Brandon Tartikoff is probably rolling over in his grave as what has become of this beloved television institution he helped to turn around during the '80s.

I love the Lipstick Jungle -- I got last year's episodes and watched all of them -- couldn't wait for this year. Please get it back on the air. I have coworkers as well so disappointed. Please bring back.
