Emily's Reasons Why Not was a television series starring Heather Graham. The show, which was based on the
novel of the same name,
aired its only episode on January 9, 2006. The show was aired on ABC.
The series centers on Emily, an author of self-help books who is unable to find success in romance. In the premiere episode she ends a bad relationship and adopts a new rule for her romances: if she can list five reasons to break up with a guy then she does so. Emily gets help from her friends, among them Josh whose character is strongly based on gay stereotypes. The show was widely considered a less risqué' copycat of Sex and the City. [1] [2]
Despite heavy promotion by both
Sony and ABC, the show was pulled after the first episode due to drawing only 6.2 million viewers. Production was stopped after taping six episodes. ABC was said to have spent millions on promotion, including airtime, billboards and radio ads, and considered
Emily to be the 'linchpin' of their post-
football Monday night schedule. The promotion was so heavy and the cancellation so abrupt that some magazines found themselves carrying cover stories about a cancelled show. It was reported that ABC committed to the show and its promotion before seeing a script. After viewing it, ABC's entertainment president suggested that they considered the show lackluster and unlikely to improve.

As of September 2006, the show is currently being aired, in full, on Spain's pay-TV channel Cosmopolitan [5].
Emily is one of the few primetime
TV shows to last only one episode. One television critic said there are "over a million 'reasons why not' for this sorry show."
