After blanketing every bus and subway station in every major city with ads in which Heather Graham’s vacant baby blues gaze out at disgruntled commuters, ABC has killed Emily’s Reasons Why Not after just one airing. Seems Rollergirl didn’t have the muscle to carry the long-dead genre of the Sex and the City rip-off (the hideously unflattering boob dress she wore to last fall’s network up-fronts, seen at right, couldn’t have helped).
The writing was on the wall for this show when ABC refused to screen anything but the pilot for critics. Were the subsequent episodes so bad that ABC used the pilot’s lousy ratings as an excuse to keep them hidden forever?
Heather Graham is unemployed [Egotastic]
according to imdb, right now she’s filming bobby, on the assassination of bobby kennedy, playing the pivotal? role of angela. who the hell is angela? maybe the movie will be cancelled 10 minutes in due to it being directed by emilio estevez. i mean he’s the jock from breakfast club. the least they could have done was get anthony michael hall, the brain, to direct. now i have to go watch crumbs, which while like emily will probably be cancelled shortly, quite unlike emily is actually pretty good.
p.s. crumbs is not good. i hope heather guest stars and kills it. though a lead character that’s a closet case has potential.
