Is it my fault for not supporting the show when it hit the airwaves two years ago? I would have, but the CW wasn't a channel I received at that time.
Is it the networks fault for not recognizing what a great show they had and giving up on it too soon? Too soon as in just weeks after it premiered and might I add, just when it was getting really good. Apparently, because I looked, it was the lowest rated show on the CW of the fall of 2012. I don't think they gave it a chance. I suppose I should thank them for at least broadcasting all 13 episodes even though they had already told the world they were giving it the axe. Who would want to invest their time into a show that wasn't going to have a life? They doomed the show from the very beginning.
Was it picked up by the wrong network in the first place? I am talking about you CW. I didn't even have CW on my television in 2012. It could have fit on any number of networks.
Should Netflix be blamed for teasing me with a series that was canceled after the first season? Who does that to a person? Why even put the episodes on if you know the series was canceled?
Have you ever had something on your DVR recorded but it stopped recording right before the scene concludes leaving you wondering "what happened?"! That was me when I realized that the show I had just been introduced too, and loved, was over. How does this happen to good TV?
Emily Owens, MD was a great show. It was clever. It was funny. It was clean (maybe that was the problem). It was light-hearted. It was addictive, like watch the entire season over the course of a few days. The casting was great. It was the kind of show I like..... and now it doesn't exist anymore.
How can they do that?
Would they consider bringing it back if the show suddenly became a sensation on Netflix? I am grieving for the loss of Emily Owens, MD. May she rest in peace.
But it does make me wonder what is going to become of television when hardly anyone I know watches live TV anymore. Now I will go cry.
I LOVED this show and feel the same way. Was so bummed to see it go.
ReplyDeleteI never watched Emily Owens, MD, but I know how you feel about the networks cancelling a show after one season. I think there have been many promising TV shows that have gone to the graveyard too soon!
ReplyDeleteI also loved that show. Especially because it was filmed in Vancouver, so it reminded me a little of home whenever I watched it.
