My Own Worst Enemy (starring Christian Slater) premieres Monday, October 13th at 10 pm ET on NBC, right after Heroes.

NBC will debut the season premieres of some of its shows on the online streaming service Hulu one week before they air on television.

Knight Rider and Lipstick Jungle, which will premiere on NBC on September 24 will be available on Hulu on Wednesday September 17; Chuck and Life, which premiere September 29, will debut on Hulu September 22; and 30 Rock, which will premiere on October 30, will be available October 23 on Hulu.

Unfortunately, fans will have to wait to see favorites like Heroes, The Office, and My Name is Earl and the new shows My Own Worst Enemy and Crusoe.  They will debut on the network as scheduled and then be available on Hulu within a few days, usually the next day.

For the full schedule, see Hulu’s Fall Premiere Lineup.

NBC’s new show, My Own Worst Enemy, has undergone some big changes this week, only a month before its big season premiere.

First, it was announced that creator Jason Smilovic would be stepping down as showrunner and would be replaced by John Eisendrath. Eisendrath, who worked on Alias, will take over the day-to-day running of the show but Smilovic will stay on as an executive producer.

Now we are also hearing that Yara Martinez is being replaced by Madchen Amick. Amick is best known for her role as Shelly Johnson on the cult classic Twin Peaks. She will star as the wife of Christian Slater’s character, Henry. Henry is a mild mannered family man who isn’t aware that he is leading another life as Edward the spy.

All this change this close to the premiere sure doesn’t seem like a good sign to me.

My Own Worst Enemy premieres October 13 at 10pm, right after Heroes, on NBC.
