Not surprised at all that Emily Owens, MD is down in the ratings. Nothing from the pilot could persuade me to tune in for week two. I couldn’t even finish 10 minutes of the pilot. It is a horrible replacement for shows on the CW Network like Ringer and The Secret Circle. The only sure bet CW has in it’s fall lineup is Arrow. It’s really sad that the network can’t get it together and keep the good shows on that viewers ACTUALLY want to watch. This is one show that will not make it a full season.

I think Emily Owens is for very young teens. I thought the pilot was terrible. It should be cancelled.

I love the new show, Emily Owens MD! Unfortunately, I can only watch it at Hulu.com. I think it’s the best new show this season. I think it appeals to all audiences. I’m surprised the ratings aren’t higher. I think they need to advertise this show a lot more than they do. It wasn’t until recently that I started hearing about the show on the radio. We need more shows like this… and less shows like Grey’s Anatomy.
