Bye, Bye 'Enemy,' 'Lipstick'

"Lipstick Jungle" was a decent show, one to get lost in once the kids were in bed. But with so many schedule changes -- not really knowing what night it was on -- it was hard to keep track of. Hopefully Lifetime will consider picking it up, and putting it and "Army Wives" together on one night -- and not Sunday night where "Army Wives" already competes with "Brothers & Sisters." Monday works well for me. Nothing good is on. Tuesday either.

I love Lipstick Jungle! Don't cancel it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love My Own Worst Enemy. I think it is a great show... I am so mad it's cancelled

That was a really quick pull

That's a shame, I liked Lipstick Jungle

Nooooo Lipstick Jungle was not the best show ever but it was entertaining! I knew it was done when they moved it to Fridays NOOOOO!!!!!

I've never understood the appeal of Christian Slater -- and, clearly, I'm not alone.

This really ticks me off! My husband and I really enjoy My Own Worst Enemy; it was great to see Christian Slater back on the tube. Lipstick Jungle has been a fav of mine as well...NBC is going to have a hard time getting my attention now..

i keep waiting for "enemy" to get better. looks like i won't have to wait any more.

As Howie Carr would say, "is Ted in the House?"

Lipstick Jungle is a good show with a lot of talented actors. Its first season was short lived with too few episodes to allow viewers to bond with the characters. After a lengthy absence it came back in October with little fanfare opposite Dirty Sexy Money. Now that it has finally found a home on Friday nights - perfect placement - and the story lines are deep, it is being cancelled. It's just not fair.

What a shame about Christian Slater's show. It was a fine one, but didn't stand a chance with its time slot and lack of publicity.

Your copy editor must be sleeping in-- it's not "Brook Shields'," it's "Brooke Shields's."

I watched the first couple of episodes of My Own Worst Enemy. Unlike Matthew Gilbert, I thought it was a good show with some potential. Yes, the plot was convoluted and Slater playing two characters could be challenging for a viewer but it was better than most of the major networks other line-ups. It also got decent viewership on hulu.com.

I can't believe the Knight Rider reboot hasn't been canceled but this has - weird.

Funny - 4 million people like a show, and they claim "no interest". kind of sad in a way

OMG! I love Lipstick Jungle! Did they really give it a fair chance?

I enjoy Lipstick Jungle, it wasn't the best show but it was an entertaining adult program!

Kind of pathetic to lament that a TV show is cancelled. Why don't people get a life instead of wasting away like an automaton in front of the TV? So many things with your bodies and minds you could be doing, it's really depressing.

I'm heartbroken that NBC has cancelled Lipstick Jungle :-( I LOVED that show :-(

I too am heartbroken! I LOVE Lipstick Jungle!

What's really depressing, "Sorry for You", is feeling the need to comment on a tv-related comment board when you don't watch tv. Have YOU nothing better to do than smugly wallow in your supposed superiority?

I wish these reports would be able to suggest what will be shown instead of these shows. NBC has an annoying habit of throwing up almost any schlock it can find! (eg: Life's Most Embarrassing moments or SNL Bash for the THIRD time in 2 weeks.) It is almost as if they have no plan, no order of what if...then we...
LIke when NBC throws up a repeat of Leno less than a month after it first aired. What ever happened to the guest host ? (it actually gave Jay a start when Carson was away) or they replay an ER from LAST season on Thanksgiving Night..."Hey, you at home. You have no life. You will watch anything. watch THIS garbage!"

Sweet social commentary there "Sorry for you." You are quite the internet crusader.

I DVR'd 'Enemy" but haven't watched an episode yet. Mine as well not get involved now.

Lipstick Jungle was the only show that actually represented accomplished professional women maneuvering at their jobs, and illustrated the complex social and personal interactions between those jobs and their private lives. Contrast that to "Sex and the City," which barely referenced the professional lives of the characters, and to "Gossip Girl," where we have never once been inside a classroom. I thought that insight into the connection between the professional and the personal, for women, was a stroke of genius.

Gee Sorry for you, why don't YOU get a life instead of reading through comments about an article that seems not concern and then making stupid smart mouth comments.
As for "Enemy" I tried to get into, but it just couldn't hold me.
I think it might have a lot to do with how bad Heroe's is this season, I basically tune out right after Chuck.

wrong Chip....for singular possessive, words ending in 's', 'z', or 'x' generally omit the 's' as in ..........Dr. Seuss' sense of humor

I love LIpstick Jungle. I look forward to it every week. Please dont cancel the show.

NO, NO, NO.... They can't cancel Lipstick Jungle.. It's my one show I LOVE to watch after the kiddo's are in bed..
I don't understand why they pulled it..
Shame on them for not giving it a chance, especially when they changed nights..
I hope they know it's not a smart move on their part..

LOVED,LOVED Lipstick Jungle!! Replacement for Sex in the City (but on network television) . Too Too Bad....

"...Why don't people get a life instead of wasting away like an automaton in front of the TV? So many things with your bodies and minds you could be doing, it's really depressing."

Do you mean like sitting in front of a computer READING and commenting on a TV show getting canceled...

Wow, WHO needs to get a life?

#18 . . . why don't you stop wasting your time on blogs and get a life instead . . . so many more things you could be doing with your mind and body. Doesn't take a lot of brain power to type on a blog.

As long as they don't cancel Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles and Cheetah Girls I'm good.

Kay - you are so right - the network did a very bad job promoting that show and putting it in an appropriate time slot. The show is great, the actors really have chemistry and the stories have gotten very interesting. When will NBC get its act together on romantic drama/comedy?

I love " My Own Worst Enemy" what did it do wrong??!!

30 Rock is the only show I watch on NBC. The rest is formulaic drivel.

#26 - Trex - Go back to (or pay attention in) school.

Rule #1, Elementary Rules of Usage, The Elements of Style (Strunk and White):

"Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding 's." This is a very basic rule of English grammar and composition.

Thus, Chip's example, "Brooke Shields's" is correct, and yours, "Dr. Seuss'" is wrong.

Kindly refrain from posting incorrect and/or ignorant information. Thanks.

Lipstick can't be cancelled!!!!!!!!! I LOVE this show!!! What are they thinking.

DON'T CANCEL LIPSTICK JUNGLE! I LOVE IT! WTF?! keep it on the air!!

Dear lover's of MWE and LJ,

These shows are being canceled not because you love and adore them but because not enough of you watch them. When shows have crappy ratings, that means they do not generate very much money from advertising. This leads to negative profits for the networks so to conmesate for less than zero profits, the networks have to shed expenses as in the cost of producing these shows.

I Loved Lipstick Jungle!! PLEASE DON'T CANCEL IT!! JUST PUT IT ON AT A DECENT TIME LIKE MONDAY OR TUESDAY, NOTHING ELSE IS ON!!

I love lipstick jungle. please don't cancel it. I have seen every episode since it came on. This tv stations keep canceling all the good shows and putting all this horrible shows on and keeping them unstead

Lipstick Jungle is a good show . Give it a chance one season is not enough. Keepit on.

I really like Lipstick Jungle and I wish it wouldn't get cancelled. I agree it showed professional women working while handling social and personal issues to some degree and the story line was getting very interesting. NBC did a terrible job of marketing the program, a very short first season, switching around the nights second season and putting it on Wednesdays, a evening known for school and church events and then Fridays, an evening when families and singles both go out to relax at the end of the week. As stated above Lipstick will come off and some garbage reality, re-runs, or more detective shows will take its place!!

Please please don't cancel Lipstick Jungle. It is seriously the only show that I watch on TV. It is way too good to cancel compared to anything else on TV.

I am also extremely disappointed in the cancellation of Lipstick Jungle and My Worst Enemy. I have to admit due to the scheduling of My Worst Enemy I use Tivo to watch it later in the week.

Try to get friends and family interested in the shows if they are not already.

Please don't cancel the show!!!! I love Lipstick Jungle! I look forward to it every week!

PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL LIPSTICK JUNGLE!!!!

Please! Please! Don't take my Lipstick Jungle away. My favorite show and I love it.

Lipstick Jungle is my favorite show. I love the music, the fashion, the women are great and what can I say about Kirby! It just started getting good - Wendy gets fired - her husband gets a job - Nico is starting to reconsider her younger lover and Victory -well she will get Joe.

PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL

Aaaaaw! Don't cancel Lipstick Jungle, pleeeease! I love this show and look forward to it every week!

I like lipstick jungle and thought the story line was picking up, and going a little deep?????Well who knows what the higher ups think???? People will not chase a program down, pick a night????

I also enjoyed Lipstick Jungle. If they are cancelling because people are taping it instead of watching live and missing commercials, what makes them think we sit in our chairs and watch the commercials on a live show. It should be about the show, not the commercials. I dont even like to invest in many shows anymore cause as soon as I like it the networks cancel.

I tried to get into My Own Worst Enemy. I was a huge Christian Slater fan back in the day. But I stopped watching it after the second episode because it just felt like a waste of my time.

I too am so disappointed in NBC! Finally a show that is entertaining with likeable characters and interesting often unpredicatble plots, and yet they are choose to cancel it? It was so refreshing to watch a show that not only made you laugh, but could also make you cry at the same time, and it was nice to see a show in that 9:00 time slot that didn't include a murder!!! I agree I thinkl NBC did a disservice to Lipstick Jungle by not putting it on a decent night and leaving it there so it had time to attract a bigger audience base. You can tell by this blog it already has a LOYAL following!!
