ABC put a lot of effort into promoting
Emily's Reasons Why Not, to turn around and cancel it after one airing (yes, it is officially canceled).
Network execs say they pushed the Heather Graham series big time without even seeing a script, and when the final
product did air, it wasn't what they wanted at all.ABC pulled John Stamos' Jake in Progress from its schedule at the same time it pulled Emily, leaving fans to wonder whether that show was over as well. Rest assured, Jake fans, according to the LA Times, it will return to television. The president of ABC prime time entertainment says he really likes Jake in Progress and the show will eventually return.
And, despite poor ratings for Commander in Chief and Invasion, ABC says it still believes in those series.
