I watch and if it gets canceled ... oh well. I at least got to enjoy a good show for a handful of episodes. I am not going to deny myself a good show just because it probably won't last.

I still have 2 unwatched episodes of MOWE on my DVR. It was an ok show, but I wasn't in love with it, and I am not saddened by the cancellation.

Lipstick Jungle, on the other hand, had become a pretty good show. I am sorry to see that one go.

At least they are burning off the last 6 episodes of Lipstick Jungle. Hopefully it ends with some sense of closure.

FUCK. I really liked My Own Worst Enemy .

ChrisHicks

ditto.

I watched the commercials for My Own Worst Enemy and knew it didn't have many episodes left

You can't get me to watch a show starring Christian Slater. As for Lipstick, I never watch that one either. I bet more T&A would have helped and taking it to premium cable like SATC.

Now that My Own Worst Enemy has gotten the axe, I hope that NBC will bring back Medium sooner instead of January. Medium seems to be the only show that's had decent ratings in the Monday at 10pm timeslot.

ABC is not a real network.

They are the only network that does not carry NFL football so they are the laughingstock of the 4 major networks.

ESPN does not count.


Will NBC air the remainder of the shows on the web or dump them on Saturday nights?

How is this related to anything posted in this thread or the original topic?

Hate that MOWE is gone. That was the only new show I was enjoying. Oh well. Back to the tried and true ones, I guess.

lordzeppelin

This was my exact line of thinking when I read the headline. If NBC wants to take on CSI, they need to do it with Heroes. I was a big fan of Journeyman, and the show definitely had potential, especially with McKidd. NBC absolutely blew it AGAIN against CSI.

Studio 60-really liked the show. canceled
Journeyman-LOVED this show. canceled
MOWE-loved this show. canceled

What are the odds that I watch whatever NBC puts on at 10pm on Monday nights next season. 0.0

JuryDuty

My sentiments exactly.

JeffTheAlpaca

Maybe now Christian Slater will have time to work on a sequel to Pump Up the Volume.

Brooke Shields says Lipstick Jungle is NOT cancelled.

New York Times also says Lipstick Jungle isn't dead yet.

I just deleted the 6 episodes I had backed up on my DVR because I was running out of space. I guess I could catch up on Itunes later.

My wife is happy.

I'm also happy. I still get that hour to myself now.

I learned from Gilmore Girls not to dismiss a show just because it's a "chick show". I missed the first 3 seasons of GG because of this bias and I swore not to let that happen again. Good writing/acting is good entertainment whether it's a chick show like this or a macho show like The Unit, both of which I watch regularly. And while I'll admit that I may not enjoy this show as much as The Unit, I have no problem following the lives of these very attractive cougars (especially Victory -- Christ I love Victory) on a regular basis.

I kinda liked My Own Worst Enemy but the Alias vibe was overwhelming!

rennervision

I call shenanigans with the way the ratings system works.

Ever notice when you watch an episode of your favorite show and you think to yourself "Wow, that was one of the best episodes ever." it always scores high in the Nielsens? How did all the Nielsen families know it was going to be one of the best episodes ever? So they coincidentally gathered around the TV to watch it without knowing this beforehand? Likewise, if an episode is really bad, how did they know to avoid it like the plague that night? It seems to me if a show is bad, a Nielsen family is too embarassed to admit they watched it, but if it's good, they happily list it on their little time card.

I love how this thread went from two NBC shows being cancelled to football.

RoboDad

Ummm...

Maybe you could take this interesting side discussion to Sports Talk?

Jadzia

Mod note:

I have deleted quite a few posts that were just arguments about football, including many that contained personal attacks. Please stay on topic here. If you wish to debate football, minus the personal attacks, please take it to Sports Talk.

Thanks.

I have learned the same lesson. There have been a lot of great show out there that are "Chick Shows." Shows like Felicity, Buffy, and even Gossip Girl.
Unfortunately Lipstick is just not one of these good "Chick" show. Its horribly written and not entertaining in the least.
