One of NBC’s newest offerings, My Own Worst Enemy starring Christian Slater, has been getting mixed reviews from all corners of the critics’ room.  We at BuddyTV have our own opinions on the show; according to

My Own Worst Enemy has the sort of intriguing high-concept that immediately captures my interest.  Edward is a Jason Bourne-style super-spy who can kill bad guys with ease, while Henry is a nice family man whose biggest worry is getting his kids to school on time.  In a Jekyll and Hyde-inspired twist, Edward and Henry are two personalities occupying the same body, with both played by Christian Slater.  The setup sounds like

A few days ago on one of our Fall 2008 Previews, we gave you a peek into NBC’s newest sci-fi suspense offering, My Own Worst Enemy, which stars Christian Slater in a plot that delves into the life of two very different men.  The twist?  The two men own one body.  Christian Slater plays Henry Spivey, a typical family man living a comfortable life in the suburbs.  Unbeknownst to Henry, he has a dual personality, which forces him to share his body with alter ego Edward Albright, a skilled government agent who can speak several languages and literally kick a--!  Complications arise, though, when their lives get tangled up in each other.
