The Ex-List
Will air on Fridays at 9.00 on CBS
CBS is trying to get more women to watch TV, which is why they went with this show, putting it on Fridays right after Ghost Whisperer. Their explanation, not mine.
The Ex List is a comedic drama about Bella Bloom (Elizabeth Reaser, Grey’s Anatomy) - a single, 30-something, successful business owner who is surprised to learn from a psychic that she’s already dated her future husband AND there’s a catch: if she doesn’t find him in the next year, she’ll remain alone forever. During a bachelorette party for her sister, Daphne (Rachel Boston, American Dreams), Bella learns from the psychic she must revisit her past relationships and sort through the mistakes to find her soul mate. Skeptical, Bella begins to analyze every past liaison and failed romance with her close circle of friends, Augie (Adam Rothenberg, Mad Money), an endearing guy who has listened to Bella’s love woes since college, Vivian (Alex Breckenridge, Dirt), Augie’s long-term girlfriend, and Cyrus (Amir Talai, Campus Ladies), who’s chronically unemployed and full of wry observations. Once Bella witnesses proof of the psychic’s other predictions, her cynicism disappears and she begins her search. Along her trip down break-up lane, Bella is determined to remain optimistic and receptive, believing that when destiny reopens doors to the past, every relationship can matter in the future. Diane Ruggiero (Veronica Mars) and Jonathan Levin (Charmed) are executive producers for Twentieth Century Fox Television.
I wasn’t the least interested when I read what it was about, and nothing’s changed after I saw this (boring) clip. But I guess that’s probably because I’m not the targeted audience for the show…
