Doug Elfman

Finally, a "Sex and the City" clone comes through. Read full review

Rob Owen

Lightweight and unaffecting. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Breezy and fun, there are several reasons to sample "Emily," but also plenty of room for skepticism over whether this witty half-hour has the depth to survive a highly competitive timeslot. Read full review

Tim Goodman

Actually, "Emily's Reasons Why Not" does have its funny moments. The problem is twofold. The show tweaks and contorts itself so hard to get those laughs that the whole thing feels forced and unmanageable for two consecutive episodes, much less a season. And secondly, the premise is unlikely to hold up for any length of time. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

It also helps that Heather Graham as Emily is so appealing that it often distracts from the fanciful idiocy of what she's saying or doing. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

This ABC sitcom strives for edgy sophistication, but the characters come off as superficial and mean. Read full review

Is a great seire, and ther isn't a clon of Sex and the city, theirs stories aren't the same. The stories can be similars, but the two soaps are very good...
