    I honestly don’t get what’s so “horrible” about Heroes. I have no problem following the plot and number of characters. I do think it’s a little unclear where the show is going right now, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Try watching Twin Peaks if you think Heroes is overly complicated.
    I gag at the thought of every channel being filled with crap like Dancing with the Stars. Uggh.

    Heroes is one of the greatest shows on tv. Atleast it makes you think. Despite their entertainment value cheaply made reality shows are threatening the work of real actors and those who depend on viewers for their profession. In small ways the programs that force you to follow plot line and engage you in trying to figure out what is next to come exercises your ability to think. What mental reaping can be gained from watching hour after hour of reality show when we all know, it is not reality at all. Heroes is an awesome journey and anyone who is confused by its content should clearly lay off the mindless programming and tune into entertainment with substance.

    My Own Worst Enemy is a great show. I cannot believe that they are taking this off. It is like watching a great movie only now it is a tv series. Give the show a chance. I really like Christian in the part. I have also started to watch Chuck and I think it is very entertaining. It does seem like when you just get started watching a show that you really enjoy they cancel. Go figure.

    Look I never got into these serial dramas with no love for life just morose behavior… Lost… Fringe… Heroes…
    The reality TV is not even allowed in my home with three kids in the house — mindlessness crap!
    As for shows like Chuck — My wife and I watched all last season — and have now introduced our teenage daughter (weening her off the Disney channel). If they want parents (mothers and fathers) to participate with their children then the shows have to have some light hearted action comedy going on. Chuck is that show! Oh and I know that half my daughters friends are getting into the show — again with their parents!
    No father is gonna watch DWTS with Monday night football on — and when it isn’t MNF then I watch all the re-runs. Lammo TV producers/executives — I grew up on NBC… now my kids are raised on Disney! By the way shows like Knight Rider 2008 has to much violence to allow the younger siblings possible exposure — there is less violence on Smallville shakes head!

    As for “My Own Worst Enemy” –> this may be the most unique spin on the standard spy storyline. The pace and character development is what makes that show fun to watch…
    You want success in a show take a page out of the X-Files – Serenity – NCIS – Chuck playbooks… It’s okay to be serious but have some humor about the situation or plight the characters are placed in…
    MOWE does that on top of one of the most interesting storyline environments… the real reason for canceling it isn’t because of ratings… the writers see that their cool idea is going to get harder and harder to produce as a show. Yet like Serenity and others it’s just barely finding its fan base…
    Again in wonder I shake my head at the execs.
    It’s time to jump ship from the networks some of the best programming is on cable… Monk, Psyche, Burn Notice… I lay money down on Leverage in a month too! Why because their smart shows and they actually know the audience who is watching them!

    Don’t kill “My Own Worst Enemy”! The story’s very unique and critically done. Once you put the show off, many of your audiences will lose their trust on your network. You don’t want that. It just needs to be improved. Give Christian Slater more interesting scenes and script. His acting skills will only be such a waste if it would be taken off the air.

    What a waste of my time, I watch My Own Worst Enemy EVERY Monday, I look forward to it EVERY Monday…For What? Only to get it canceled after 9 episodes? Now I know why I never watched NBC in the first place. I swear I will never watch another one of NBC shows again if they take this show off the air. BY FAR THE BEST NEW SHOW EVER.

  • kristy

    I love My own worst enemy and Chuck. Please keep it

  • christinazworld

    I look forward to Monday nights. We have friends and family over for our Monday TV night with Chuck and Heroes. We will ALL be disappointed if these shows get cancelled! As for MOWE, I was just starting to get into it. NBC needs to leave these shows alone and just wait and see what happens by the end of the season…

    Hi – Here’s what I see happening as far as trends. I really believe that I am right on the money. First off, I consider myself a fairly intelligent person and look for intelligent shows to watch. The venue can be comedy, drama, sci-fi – but the vehicle in and of itself is not really imnportant. It is the casting, storyline, ingenuity and “feeling” that the piece brings to the viewer. I believe however that there are (as time goes on) less and less smarter intelligent people watching TV and persuing other forms of entertainment. For instance, I will not watch TV news – it’s fairly obvious that it is tilted to the almost far left in their coverage of what is important and what is not. People such as myself catch on to that. So I get my news from the internet and look at sites that present different views. I believe that is what is going on in TV land. A growing # of people don’t believe the established media anymore because of their IMBALANCE. So who are left to watch?

    Chuck is a FABULOUS show that has a little something for everybody. The network would be sincerely wrong to cut this show off. In fact, the ratings have been since improving and the story lines are awesome. Sure, the Monday night time slot is tough, but Chuck has been holding its own. The actors and characters are so lovable and comical. Go Chuck. NBC, don’t let us down just to spill some more senseless reality garbage onto the scene.
