The cancellations come after both shows dropped to new ratings lows in recent weeks, with the Christian Slater action series sinking to a 1.8 among adults 18-49 (4.3 million viewers) on Monday and "Jungle" falling to a 1.2 (3.3 million viewers) on Friday.
"Enemy" is now shooting its ninth -- and final -- episode. "Lipstick" has shot all 13 of its initial order. Both are produced by Universal Media Studios.
It was only a matter of time before this happened. The minute they banished Lipstick Jungle to Friday I knew it was a goner. As of My Own Worst Enemy, it was too complicated a show to follow. The writers spent too much time getting into the psyche of Christian Slater's character, and less on him being a spy. A spy series is supposed to have a lot of action and cool things going on (with a little intensity thrown in the mix). Why do you think the Bond series, the Bourne films and 24 are so successful?
