REALLY FUN!I think Heather would be better on Scrubs,but that's a really fun TV show.I watched the pilot yesterday,and I'll watch the others 6 (Sony Entertainment,from Latin America,will pass all the episodes).Heather it's great,and the 5 reasons why not are really fun.It's not a Sitcom,and it's a Comedy-Romance Tv show.I didn't like very much of her friends,they were too "fake".By the opposite,her ex-assistance was really fun.ABC shouldn't cancel Emily's reasons,but what can i do?????I hope that there is a DVD,i'll certanly buy.
Does anybody knows what's Brazilian Jiu-jitso??????That really exist???
So,my final concept is:It was a really great series,but they didn't gave it a chance.moreless

ADD QUOTES-
Stan: (knocks on the door) Hi, I'm Stan from marketing.
Emily: (voiceover) They hired the perfect male specimen in marketing?
Stan: Do you feel like going to grab some lunch?
Emily: (voiceover) Emily, no! You're on the rebound, you're slightly hung over, only last night you were practicing voodoo. Plus you already had a sizable mid-morning snack. (out loud to Stan) I'll just get my shag... I mean my bag! -
Josh: (to Emily, about her excitement over her lunch date with Stan) That's it. I'm brewing you a special "keep your panties on" infusion.
-
(Emily's telling her friends about her lunch with Stan.)
Reilly: And? And then what happened?
Emily: (dreamily) And then we both had a salad and we shared a dessert.
Josh: (pause) Oh.
Reilly: Honey, you've set the bar so low. -
Emily: (to Glitter) Is this the mock-up for Reese's book jacket? (voiceover, reading the book title) "Hook, Lie and Sinker. The lies men tell women, the lies women tell themselves." What am I, an idiot?
Glitter: Yup. He wrote a book on manipulating women and you published it. -
Emily: (voiceover, making a wish on the eyelash) Please eyelash, please let Stan be as good as he looks. Let him not be a player or a stalker or a kinky pervert who lives vicariously through an Internet alter ego. And while you're at it, eyelash, please let Glitter Cho be eaten by a shark.
Glitter: (next morning at the office) Morning!
Emily: (voiceover) Useless sharks! -
(After Stan blows her an air kiss.)
Emily: (voiceover) OK, that was kind of like a kiss. From a mime. -
Emily: (about Stan) He has a subscription to Martha Stewart Living??
Reilly: Holy implied homosexuality! -
Emily: Maybe Stan is just shy. And even so, I'm only up to three reasons so he's still in the game, right?
Josh: Kitten, if you're boyfriend's gay, that's the only reason you need.
Reilly: Hello! The best sex I ever had was with a gay guy trying to prove he wasn't. He kept trying to prove it hour after hour after hour after hour after hour... -
Reese: I'm sorry I was such a jerk.
Emily: "Was"? Why are you using the past tense? -
Reilly: (at the gym, watching Brazilian Jujitsu) That is very gay behavior.
Josh: And I thought I was gay.
Reilly: I'm struck by how gay this display of gayness is. -
Stan: What do you guys think? You know, if you're interested, I could introduce you to my instructor.
Josh: Well, it certainly seems like great exercise. Aknad?
Aknad: You know, I think we'd be naturals. -
Emily: You told me he was gay and you said that you were the expert.
Josh: He blipped on the gaydar. I'd never met a straight male virgin before. Frankly, I didn't know there were any.
Reilly: Yeah, but Stan is more than just a virgin. He's a latter day saint. -
Emily: (in Stan's voicemail) Hey Stan, it's Emily. I just wanted to talk to you about your... sexuality. (nervous laugh) Actually, your homosexuality. I mean, you may not want to discuss this, but it's kind of hard for me to ignore based on our total lack of a sex life. My best friend Josh – also gay – he says his life did not even start until he came out of the closet. So, good luck with all the guys you can start going out with now, and I'm sorry it's not me. Bye!

Emily: If you don't have the flutter-flutter, you don't have nothin'.

According to rumors, ABC ordered the series without even reading a single script. As if that didn't doom the show, it also ran into other problems during production. At first the show was without a showrunner until Robin Schiff was hired for the position. She eventually left the project while remaining attached as a consultant. Kerry Lenhart and John Sakmar replaced her, only to be later replaced themselves by Bill Diamond and Allison Adler. Additionally, executive producer Gavin Polone served as showrunner in the interim.
-
Even though he is credited in the opening title sequence, James Patrick Stuart doesn't appear in this episode. His character, Midas O'Shay, first appears in episode 1-2: Why Not to Date Your Gynecologist.
