Talk:Emily's Reasons Why Not

Notability

First, this show is a rather rare example of a program that was canceled after a single airing. Furthermore, it was extremely heavily publicized---which makes it a notable phenomenon in the history of television. At the very least, it should be merged with the section on the novel by the same name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.55.205.125 (talk) 23:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

That the show was heavily publicized, with print, TV, and out of home advertising makes it a notable show. There are other shows that meet the criteria of notability, but got canceled after only one episode, or got canceled after being announced, but never aired, such as Welcome to the Neighborhood on the same network. --AEMoreira042281 (talk) 17:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

The promotion and cancellation of Emily was a notable television event of 2006. SnappingTurtle (talk) 15:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

The Wikipedia guidelines for television series notability state that any television series, no matter the length, that is aired on a national network is inherently notable. 23skidoo (talk) 23:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Figures?

I'm not really a TV person, but are you sure it's 6.2 million? That seems high. Maybe I'm out of touch. Yanksox 02:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Read this [1] for an estimate of the figures. -Phoenixrod 07:22, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

DVD Release?

Any plans for a DVD release of all 6 episodes? And why didn't ABC jump at the chance to try to at least recoup some of their losses by making the show available on iTunes?

• My guess is that they expect that they would make so little money on iTunes that it's not even worthwhile to go through the managerial hoops to make such a thing happen or to pay a technician to port the shows over to the appropriate format. It may even be that some of the shows aren't fully edited yet, in which case there actually would be a significant cost to finishing them. SnappingTurtle 19:11, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Mexico

I was in Mexico earlier this summer and they kept airing commercials for this show. Why bother spending so much money to promote a show that only has one episode?65.69.142.11 21:08, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Citation request for trivia about cover article

A citation has been requested for this bit of trivia:

The promotion was so heavy and the cancellation so abrupt that some magazines found themselves carrying cover stories about a cancelled show.

When I posted that information I cited the New York Post article where I'd read it, but that article has since been taken down, so I removed the citation. I can find a blog entry that quotes the original article, but no reputable online source. And I don't feel like looking up old issues of the New York Post just to cite this trivia (I do have a life). So what's the applicable Wikipedia policy here? SnappingTurtle 17:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

• Blogs are generally not considered reliable sources and should be treated as such. If the blog has a citation from a reliable source (and it's a direct quotation), cite the citation. 147.70.242.54 (talk) 22:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
