Casualties of the Fall: NBC Cancellations by Sara Vilkomerson | 11:26 AM November 13, 2008 | Tags: O2
We're going to miss you, Lipstick Jungle! Well, we suppose its that time of year: Last night Entertainment Weeklys Michael Ausiello reported that NBC has canceled My Own Worst Enemy (otherwise known as that Christian Slater show no one was watching. Gosh, people, have a little respect for someone who once played a man with a baboon heart!). But, for us, the sad news is hearing that Lipstick Jungle is also getting tossed (though we were starting to get suspicious when the network moved it over to the badlands that is Friday night primetime).
We dont care what anyone says, we really sort of found ourselves loving this show and heres why: it was for adults. Dont misunderstand, we enjoy a Gossip Girl episode as much as the next gal, but Lipstick, thanks in part (we're sure) to thirtysomething alum Timothy Busfield acting as exeuctive producer, had all the fantasy elements of great clothes and millionaires and movie stars but it also showed three successful women over 40 who shared a very nice and believable friendship. Okay, and were still not over our Andrew McCarthy crush
Mr. Ausiello noted that it's unclear whether the unaired episodes will see the light of day. Take pity, NBC!

No big shock here: Sources confirm that NBC has canceled struggling dramas Lipstick Jungle and My Own Worst Enemy.
NBC isn't commenting, but multiple insiders tell me that the network informed Enemy and Lipstick producers that they would not be ordering additional episodes. It's unclear whether both shows will be pulled from the schedule immediately. Five unaired episodes remain for each.
I am so upset about this... I really enjoy this show and its going from strenght to strenght... I know they won't reconsider but i do hope at the very least they show the other 5 episodes..
I am so bummed about the show. I am watching Pretty n pink like the old days with my 13 year old daughter right now. I loved Lipstick Jungle and it was Tivo-ed so it didn't matter what night it came on. I really hope someone else can pick it up!! Everyone was such great actors.
