I just found out that NBC canceled My Own Worst Enemy. If I were a conspiracy minded paranoid woo, I'd say it was because of global corporate military industrial complex Reptilians who forced the show's demise. Why would they do that? Because of the theme of the show and its too close to the truth plot lines, naturally, which involves brain implants that "wakes up" the character Edward/Henry when the secret shadow government agency turns on the switch. Slater's character-- one of them, "Edward" in wake up mode,-- is a government uber spy and assassin. In sleep mode, he's just a decent average guy named Henry who loves his wife and kids. Henry works in a white collar job that takes him on frequent, unexpected business trips which is a segue into the fact that the company he works for is a cover the government agency. All this unbeknownst to Henry of course. Some of Henry's co-workers are also agents like Henry/Edward.
But something has gone wrong with this top secret rogue plot and the implant experiment, and now Henry/Edward wake up when they're not supposed to; poor Henry finds himself being shot at in the middle of Russia, during Edward's wake up spy mode, and Edward wakes up during Henry's domestic life, like during sex with Henry's wife.
Slater does a very good job in both roles, there are some funny moments between the switching of characters and Alfre Woodward is, as always, very good as the top secret government boss of this operation.
I'm not sure why NBC decided to cancel the show; as we know, TV isn't like the good old days, when you could count on a season which was from Fall to late Spring, etc. I don't know what networks expect nowadays; oh well, that's foolish. It's all about the money the show brings, and brings in a hurry.
