New NBC Series: My Own Worst Enemy - Fall 2008

By Kelly West: 2008-04-04 18:28:33
New NBC Series: My Own Worst Enemy - Fall 2008 NBC recently released the list of new series coming out this fall. Among them is, My Own Worst Enemy, which as of right now, is set to take over the 10 pm spot following Heroes on Monday nights. In this series, Christian Slater plays a guy living two lives. One life involves a wife, two kids and a dog. The other involves knowing how to kill people… with his teeth.

Here’s the information NBC released about the series:

MY OWN WORST ENEMY - Henry Spivey (Christian Slater, “Bobby”) is a middle-class efficiency expert living a humdrum life in the suburbs with a wife, two kids, a dog, and a minivan. Edward Albright is an operative who speaks 13 languages, runs a four-minute mile, and is trained to kill with his teeth. Henry and Edward are polar opposites who share only one thing in common -- the same body. When the carefully constructed wall between them breaks down, Henry and Edward are thrust into unfamiliar territory where each man is dangerously out of his element. “My Own Worst Enemy” explores the duality of a man who is literally pitted against himself. And it raises the question: who can you trust when you can't trust yourself? The series is produced by Universal Media Studios. Jason Smilovic (“Kidnapped”) is the executive producer; David Semel (director of the “American Dreams,” “Heroes” and “Life” pilots) is the director and executive producer.

I don’t know. The premise for this show sounds interesting enough but I’m convinced that the Monday night 10 p.m. spot on NBC is cursed (either that or people are just too tired to watch TV that late on Monday night). The Black Donnelly’s, Studio 60 and Journeyman are among the failed series that once resided in that timeslot. Not a good sign. Regardless, I like spy shows and Christian Slater, so I plan to check it out when it premieres this fall.

  • When I heard Leno talking about this show being cancelled, I thought "why?". This is a fascinating shown on several levels. Henry is getting a ton of adventure and drowning in international spy intrigue while Edward is learning what a normal family life is like. Even Raymond is getting a tune up in normalcy. This stuff is deep! I can't wait to see how Edward resolves the murder of his parents while dealing with Henry's wife and kids.
  • I love this show and I think nbc is crazy if they cancel it. I hate nbc they always get rid of the good shows and keep the shit shows!! Get it together nbc
  • I was looking forward to the premier, and I wasn't disappointed...it was grrrrreeeeaat!!!!

    A different kind of spy series with good twits...you never know what's going to happen, or who (Henry or Edward) is doing what.

    The novelty may wear off after several episodes, unless they can get a really good storyline going for continuity (or have an incredible plot every week).
  • Both my teen and I are female and we loved the pilot seen as a free preview on Amazon.com. We'll probably dvr it though. Mon at 10 is not a good timeslot.
  • I agree with you Satine.
  • I think it sounds interesting, and I've seen some previews for the show and I'll be watching. But, I don't see how it's a show for guys. Because of the spy stuff, or the action? I like both. Or is it for guys 'cause women won't be watching since Edward seems like a pig........ but I'm a big fan of Mad Men and nearly EVERY male character on that show is a pig. So..... I don't see how it's a show for guys :|
  • I'm interested in this show, and this is a show for guys. I know that people in Los Angeles don't give a crap about football, but have they ever heard of men watching Monday Night Football?

    Just a thought.
