In which I talk about TV

So, I decided to give My Own Worst Enemy a try and wasn't expecting much. Just watched the first episode before I start my doings for the day, and while I don't LOVE it, I was very entertained and am interested in watching more.
My initial reluctance was I didn't get how they were going to do a split-personality spy, and also it's Christian Slater, the guy with only one character, playing two different ones in one show. So I like the tech direction on how the two personalities are done, and he's not doing a a terrible job at being two different guys.
I don't really think it's going to be around long, it seems like the whole can't keep the wrong guy from waking up at the wrong time thing will get a little old. Also we've already got a fabulous show involving a regular guy thrown into ridiculous spy situations, and Chuck's a whole lot more likable than Henry. Jew fro > Jack Nicholson eyebrows.
That said, I'm still entertained and will continue watching for now.
