bad ratings

"ABC clearly fumbled the ball with its replacements for Monday Night Football, and CBS quickly scooped it up, winning every half hour of primetime Monday night. ABC's Emily's Reasons Why Not and Jake in Progress in the 9:00 p.m. hour put the network in fourth place in that hour. Ratings did not improve for ABC at 10:00 with The Bachelor: Paris, either, and the network would have remained in fourth place but for the fact that Fox does not air network programs during that hour."

I'm not at all surprised. They should cancel this ASAP.

Just say NO to censorship!

Good. Crap needs to be axed as soon as possible.

I figured what you said was not entirely truthful. I saw nothing at all on the web about any talk of cancellation (yet).

Cancelled or not, ABC are not airing any more episodes...

Television execs suck! They should at least give the show a chance to find an audience.

Here's some more bad news for fans:

"ABC PONDERS, WHY NOT CANCEL IT NOW?

Touching off speculation that ABC is about to set a record for quick cancellation of a series, the network announced Thursday that its new sitcom, Emily's Reasons Why Not, along with Jake in Progress (in its second season), will be preempted next Monday by a repeat of last week's season premiere of The Bachelor. Both yanked sitcoms, which replaced the first hour of Monday Night Football, drew miserable ratings in their season debuts. They would have had to compete against NBC's telecast of the Golden Globe Awards next Monday. ABC's announcement indicated that the both shows are due to return on Jan. 23, but some analysts expressed skepticism, suggesting that if they do, it will probably only be until ABC can find replacements for them."
