Emily Owens M.D. Canceled by The CW
The CW has officially canceled Emily Owens M.D., its quirky medical drama starring Mamie Gummer. The show did not receive a back order from the network, having ensured its fate after getting out of the gates very slowly in the ratings and not holding enough of its Hart of Dixie lead-in; however, it will air every episode in its initial 13-episode order in the same time slot.
It's as yet unclear what The CW will be replacing the show with on the mid-season schedule. The only two new shows premiering in January will be The Carrie Diaries, already penciled in for Mondays at 8:00, and Cult, which doesn't have a premiere date yet. However, Cult has been thought to be headed for Thursdays after The Vampire Diaries or Fridays with Nikita due to the tonal/subject matter similarities it shares with both shows. One option would be to move Beauty and the Beast to Tuesdays, putting Cult on Thursdays, and leaving Nikita on Fridays with Arrow repeats. The Friday reruns of the breakout freshman hit will begin on November 30th at 9:00, with Nikita moving back to the 8:00 time slot it occupied last season.
Emily Owens M.D. becomes the first show canceled by The CW this season and the only of the three new fall shows to not receive a back order. With its cancellation, each of the five broadcast networks have cancelled at least one new fall show, as Partners and Made in Jersey (CBS); 666 Park Avenue and Last Resort (ABC); The Mob Doctor (FOX); and Animal Practice (NBC) all won't be making it to next season.
Emily Owens M.D. will be airing its fall finale next Tuesday at 9:00 on The CW before returning on January 15th for its final six episodes.
Do you think The CW made the right decision in canceling Emily Owens M.D.? What show would you put in its place once it finishes airing? Why do you think the show failed to catch on with viewers?
Too sad that it’s going to an end. I love watching the show. Please cw dont end it!pls!pls!pls
Please Please Please Please Do not cancel Emily Owens M.D. In the beginning when I saw the commercial for the show I thought I might watch it. Then I forgot about it and on the third episode I was flipping through channels and I landed on Emily Owens M.D. I didn’t know what it was at first, but even not knowing what I was watching didn’t make me change the channel. I was so into the show and I was literally biting my hair because of all the possibilities that could happen in the show. It basically kept me on my toes through the serious parts. I love how the show is mixed with a great sense of humor and all. Please bring back the show. My mother is a nurse and she too is into the Emily Owens M.D. Show. It would be so Fantastic if you kept the season going. My friends and I who are all looking to be in the medical field all watch this show to give us a clue of what we are getting ourselves into. This show inspires us to be better people and to believe in ourselves no matter how quirky we may be. Please keep this show. Out of all the shows CW has, this is the only one that kept me going. Please bring Emily Owens M.D. back. Please. Thank you and good bye.
CW dont end emily owens m.d..we love this show frim philippines..
I really love this show- its fresh and quirky and entertaining, and already I’m rooting for Emily and Mika. I really wish networks would give great shows a chance to settle in before axing them based solely on viewing numbers. Please reconsider CW!
Please don’t cancel the show! I love Micah too much to see him go!!! Hopefully there would be a miracle!!!
This is so heartbreaking! I love this show so much. Six episodes isn’t enough to base a cancellation on, in my opinion. I think if it were given the chance of a full season it could hold its own. It would at least be pulling viewers in to new episodes every week, not just repeats of shows people have already seen. At least give it a chance for the writers to wrap everything up…
There are tooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! many reality shows which are not worth watching as they are all, obviously rehearsed. We liked Mamie Gummer in “Off the Map” and we all like “Emily Owens M.D.” even more. It would be real nice if the show was given more of a chance. Four or five episodes are really not long enough to do it justice.
Why can’t networks ever gives shows a chance??!! This is a great show, HUGE mistake letting it go
CW SUCKS!!
Please give the show a chance.. this is so heartbreaking! It’s one of the few shows I watch from CW.
PLEASE DON’T CANCEL THE SHOW CW! Cancel “Beauty And The Beast” Or “Hart Of Dixie”! This is a huge mistake canceling s show that’s only 6 episodes in, you didn’t even give it a chance. I actually looked forward to the episodes each week. I don’t normally watch TV, but this is a show that made me genuinly laugh. It’s unfair, and I think CW should reconcider.
Sincerly, A VERY disapponted Fan.
UNFAIR! PLEASE CW! Don’t cancel the show! It wasn’t even given a chance. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!
i think CW have to think first before they cancel the show. You have to satisfy your customers, give them what they want. Emily owens m.d. is a great show. it deserves more time. do not disappoint your viewer CW. thank and please consider it.
Cw sucks for cancelling emily owens m.d!!!!!!remove hart of dixie!nikita!and other nonsense shows but NOT EMILY OWENS M.D
Boo on you. CW is a fail here. I don’t watch anything but Emily Owens M.D., Shame really.
This is just so upsetting. I’m finally hooked on the show and now it’s being cancelled? Cancel 90210, Beauty and the Beast, Arrow, Nikita, Supernatural not Emily! This show is very different from the rest of the CW shows and stands out. I don’t know if this will help any but here’s a petition –> http://www.change.org/petitions/emily-owens-m-d-save-the-show-from-cancellation#share
Why cancel it? Just because a show isn’t dripping with feed back doesn’t mean that it sucks! I love this show, I actually like it way more than most CW33 shows. This is because most of the popular shows that CW33 has shown all consist of the characters having sex with each other or the same thing happens over and over again. This show is interesting and relate able. It would be a HUGE MISTAKE if the show was canceled!
My family love this show – we enjoyed Emily Owens and wait at 10pm every Tuesday, just to watch it with my kids (15 & 18 years) and my husband. What a shame to cancell this CW, please reconsider. It is so sad.
Yes CW is making the worst decision ever…a lot of cancellations ate happening but only to good sows….which is unfair because they don’t give these shows a chance…I love Emily Owens it’s different from Grey’s and I love Grey’s…I hate how they are canceling this show…do they even count the views from online? I don’t have time to watch it on Tuesdays so I watch it online
Please do not cancel this show! It is like a breath of fresh air. I am tired of all the vampire, dark, shows. This one is refreshing and captivating. I do not have a TV – we watch all of our shows online. I really hope that online viewers get counted.
I love this show, this is something totally new from CW. I am so sad that it is ending. I REALLY want to know why drop this show and keep Beauty and the Beast? Beyond me…
:-( Emily Owens MD is the only show I watch on the CW… Guess there’s no reason to tune in anymore.
Please don’t cancel the show. It’s my fovorite new show
PLEASE don’t cancel Emily !!! This is a good, funny, quriky show that is enjoyable for the whole family !!! What about Micah and Emily ?? I was really hoping there to be a good story line with that. This is so retard, and CW you can count on losing me as a viewer, because I will most deffiantly NOT watch any of those retarded shows your are airing now. Again, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL EMILY OWENS M.D !!!!!!!!!
I love this show. PLEASE RECONSIDER AND DO NOT CANCEL. With all of the garbage on t.v., why would CW cancel such a well-written, well-acted, and entertaining show? PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL, PLEASE!!!!
All I want for Christmas this year is for this show to not get canceled. I’m praying for a miracle to happen. I usually don’t watch medical shows like House or Grey’s Anatomy, but I watch this one because it’s so quirky and the characters are relatable. I am an inspired future doctor (and yes, I understand that TV is not real life) but for some reason, this shows gets me more excited about going towards that path. But please, please, please CW don’t cancel this show. I will miss all the characters, especially Emily and Micah (I want to see what–if anything–will happen between them two). And I love all of Emily’s little “quotes” at the end of each episode. And I love how the incorporate different patients into the episodes, which each teaching the doctors–and me–life lessens. Like for this weeks episode with the rapist, I learned that a life is a life, if you are a doctor you have to separate your beliefs and focus on your primary goal: to save lives. Anyways, please CW, don’t cancel it.

im really bummed that emily owens md was cancelled! i loved the show and the storyline and we were just getting to know the characters
Please don’t cancel Emily Owens, MD.
The story line is just building and I want to see where the characters go.
I don’t understand why it was cancelled.
While I admit Heart of Dixie is a guilty pleasure, it doesn’t have much substance and has pretty unrealistic characters and thin, cheesy, plots,and settings and it gets renewed. I don’t get it!
Emily Owens, MD is realistic, with likeable characters.
Please BRING IT BACK!
CW sucks!! Just when EOMD has found its stride, they kill it! Shame on you CW!!

This is absolutely my favorite show on tv. It’s amazing. Come on, Meryl Streeps daughter is an amazing actress. You can’t end this show! I look so forward to it. I crave it! I need it!
After watching the final episode last night, I am more bummed than ever.
Now we will never know what happens between Emily, Will and Micah.
Please,please,please, consider bringing this show back. It’s one of the best shows on the CW. Give it another chance!!!
CW did not give Emily Owens a chance – this is one of the best new programs – so nice to watch programs without violence – we already have enough of those programs on the CW and now Emily is being replaced with the CULT – yuck!!?!?
Noooooooo! Please of not cancel this show. I didn’t start watching until the 6th episode & was hooked. I watched all the ones before in two night because I was obsessed. Please bring it back. Best new show I’ve seen in a long time.
I’m very upset that one of my favorite shows is being cancelled!! How can you cancel such a great show? I was si looking forward to what happened next. This is bullshit.
wow, maybe if the thew is a couple of red necks for vampires it would of made it on the CW lineup.
Thought it was just on hiatus… Very sad to see it go! I wonder if any other network will pick it up!? I too loved how smart and quirky and relatable it was! Good relationship development… Not gimmicky :-(
