I wanted to add to my last posting: Krystin Ritter is the perfect date and if anyone has ever gone out with a girl like her then they will understand why this show is fantastic to watch!!!
I wish this show was brought back. I can’t believe everyone didn’t love this show. The humor was different and the girls were funny, different, sexy!! The adventures that were depicted were fun t watch!! RENEW.
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.
