I am – Hercules!!
If the other networks are moving away from sitcoms and into reality, CBS -- a key pioneer in the unscripted genre with "Survivor" and "Big Brother" way back in 2000 -- is going in the other direction this fall, adding an hour of sitcoms.
Among CBS’ new shows, the one I’m keenest to look a is “The Ex-List.” It was created by Diane Ruggiero, whose name is on the teleplays of a lot of great “Veronica Mars” episodes.
Look! Press release!

CBS announced today its 2008-2009 Fall Primetime Lineup, featuring five new series - two comedies and three dramas - and the launch of a new comedy block on Wednesdays.
The new series include ELEVENTH HOUR, a dramatic thriller from producer Jerry Bruckheimer about a special advisor to the government who investigates scientific crises and oddities; THE MENTALIST, starring Simon Baker as a former celebrity psychic-turned- detective who uses his gifted skills of observation and expertise at "reading" people to solve crimes; THE EX LIST, a sexy comedic drama about a 30-something woman who searches her past relationships to find her future husband; and the comedies PROJECT GARY, starring Jay Mohr and Paula Marshall as dueling ex-spouses and parents trying to move forward with new relationships; and WORST WEEK about a good guy who is always trying to do the right thing, yet something always goes wrong - especially when he's around his girlfriend's parents.
"We've been looking to expand our comedy lineup, and we now have the depth and development to make the move," said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment. "Monday is already television's signature night for comedy and we think we can make the case that CBS is the signature network for comedy overall."
Added Tassler, "Our new dramas put a character twist on the highly successful procedural form with two exciting new leads in Simon Baker and Rufus Sewell. And, rounding out the new slate is a very unique series with a dynamic young actress (Elizabeth Reaser, "Grey's Anatomy") that blends comedy, drama and romance in a concept that will have everybody thinking about their personal 'ex list.' "
The freshman series will join 18 returning programs on the current CBS lineup.
CBS will return network television's Number One drama franchise - CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION; CSI: MIAMI, CSI: NY - the Number One comedy, TWO AND A HALF MEN; the Number One news magazine, 60 MINUTES; and two franchise reality series -SURVIVOR and the five-time Emmy Award-winning THE AMAZING RACE.

The new 2008-2009 schedule is:

Television's top comedy TWO AND A HALF MEN remains at 9:00 PM and serves as a lead-in for the new comedy WORST WEEK at 9:30 PM.

In addition to the new series for fall, the network announced the pick up of two programs for midseason. The new drama, HARPER'S ISLAND, is a murder mystery that unfolds as friends and family attend week-long festivities at a destination wedding on a secluded and picturesque island off the coast of Seattle, infamous for a homicidal maniac's rampage seven years ago. Also picked up for midseason is the comedy RULES OF ENGAGEMENT.
The new comedies are:
WORST WEEK is a comedy about Sam Briggs, an entertainment magazine editor who will do anything to please his girlfriend's parents ... but instead becomes a one-man wrecking crew whenever he's around them. Sam (Kyle Bornheimer, "Jericho") and his girlfriend, Melanie Clayton (Erinn Hayes, "Kitchen Confidential"), have only one hurdle left to clear as they start their life together: breaking the news to Mel's conservative parents that they have a wedding in the works and a baby on the way. Dick (Kurtwood Smith, "That '70s Show"), a stern Judge, and his wife Angela (Nancy Lenehan, "My Name is Earl"), are protective of their daughter, and are really trying to let go of the anger they feel toward Sam ... after all, disaster follows whenever he visits their house. But despite his best efforts, every time Sam takes one positive step forward in winning over his future in-laws, he inevitably takes two crushing steps back. But with support and love from Melanie who stands up for him despite his knack for making himself look bad, Sam will hopefully charm his way into her family. Emmy Award winner Adam Bernstein ("30 Rock") directed the pilot. Matt Tarses ("Scrubs") and Jimmy Mulville ("Whose Line Is It Anyway?") are the executive producers for Universal Media Studios and CBS Paramount Network Television.
PROJECT GARY stars Jay Mohr ("Ghost Whisperer") and Paula Marshall ("Nip/Tuck") in a comedy about Gary Barnes, a recently single painting contractor, and his controlling ex-wife, Allison, who face post-divorce mayhem after 15 years of marriage as they each embark on new relationships. He's the fun parent and she's the strict one. Together, they share custody of their two children - Louise (Laura Marano, "Without a Trace"), a politically correct and environmentally conscious 11-year-old, and Tom (Ryan Malgarini, "How to Eat Fried Worms"), their socially awkward 14-year-old son who is nervous around girls. Charming and acerbic, Gary hasn't dated since the split, but finally connects with Vanessa (Jaime King, "The Class"), a single mother whose condo he was hired to paint. He dreads telling Allison about Vanessa because it doesn't adhere to her belief in their marriage counselor's book, "Rules for the Perfect Divorce." However, when Allison tells him that she's engaged to their shrink, all bets are off and Gary decides it's time to move forward. Now, in pursuit of post-marriage happiness, Gary must juggle his eclectic world of an ex-wife, their two kids, their shrink and his gorgeous new girlfriend. Ed Yeager ("Still Standing") and Ric Swartzlander ("8 Simple Rules") are the executive producers for ABC Studios and CBS Paramount Network Television.
The new dramas are:
THE MENTALIST stars Golden Globe Award nominee Simon Baker ("The Devil Wears Prada") as Patrick Jane, a detective and independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI), who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation. Within the Bureau, Jane is notorious for his blatant lack of protocol and his semi-celebrity past as a psychic medium, whose paranormal abilities he now admits he feigned. Jane's role in cracking a series of tough high-profile cases is greatly valued by his fellow agents. However, no-nonsense Senior Agent Teresa Lisbon (Robin Tunney, "Prison Break") openly resists having Jane in her unit and alternates between reluctantly acknowledging Jane's usefulness and blasting him for his theatrics, narcissism and dangerous lack of boundaries. Lisbon's team includes agents Kimball Cho (Tim Kang, "Rambo"), Wayne Rigsby (Owain Yeoman, "The Nine"), and rookie member Grace Van Pelt (Amanda Righetti, "The O.C."), who all think Jane's a loose cannon but admire his charm and knack for clearing cases. Bruno Heller (creator of "Rome") is creator/executive producer, and Emmy Award winner David Nutter ("Band of Brothers") is the executive producer for Warner Bros. Television.
ELEVENTH HOUR from acclaimed producer Jerry Bruckheimer follows Dr. Jacob Hood (Rufus Sewell, "The Illusionist"), a brilliant biophysicist and special science advisor to the government, as he investigates scientific crises and oddities. His jurisdiction is absolute and Hood is dogged in his pursuit of those who would abuse and misuse scientific discoveries and breakthroughs for their own gain. His passion and crusade is to protect the substance of science from those with nefarious motives. He is called in at the eleventh hour and he represents the last line of defense. Based on the British miniseries by acclaimed science-fiction writer Stephen Gallagher, the series is executive produced by Bruckheimer ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Pirates of the Caribbean"), Jonathan Littman ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Cold Case"), Danny Cannon ("CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "CSI: Miami"), Cyrus Voris ("Bulletproof Monk"), Ethan Reiff ("Sleeper Cell"), Mick Davis ("Wake of Death"), and Paul Buccieri ("Fashion House") for Jerry Bruckheimer Television in association with Warner Bros. Television.
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.

As if a reality shit show in standarf def was bad enough.
-
I thought this was picked up for another season. I dug this show quite a bit.
-
The Friday 9pm slot is cursed. Ex List will be an Ex Show by this time next year.
-
Isn't someone going to tell them they stole the show from USA's PSYCH??? Its almost the exact same concept... sheesh..
-
Don't think I'll be watching anything on CBS till they get their act together. I won't hold my breath.
-
It's so hard to keep track of all the ripoffs these days.
Yeti: Numb3rs still rules the roost on Friday -
Seriously, it would be so kick ass.
-
They aren't even trying to disguise the concept anymore. And you really have to applaud The USA Network for some of their original programming: Monk, Psyche, and hell, even Burn Notice is a decent watch (look for 'Fire Notification' next year on the CBS lineup.) This new summer show with Mary McCormack also looks pretty promising.
-
Glad Jericho got sort of an ending.
-
'Nuff said.
-
'Nuff said...
-
....as long as they stay off the slutty wife / CO storyline. Tiffy don't give me a stiffy, I guess, because the character just screams nutball trailer park trash. Really put me off initially, but when the guys are in the field, I'm happy. All the drama with the wives and girlfriends is a waste of time for me. I mean, it's called "The Unit", not "Desperate Army Wives!"
-
CBS has a few other shows I watch but none are more entertaining.
-
Although I liked it better when it starred Inigo Montoya instead of Fat Tony....
-
That's good news.Oh, and yeah, the goth chick from NCIS is crazy hot.
-
Unless the new show tanks and it gets given back its old post-NCIS slot.And yes, Abby from NCIS is awesome. Even if she has a guy's name.

I love it how you pretentious cunts like to look down your noses at people who like reality TV while you sit in your house watching garbage like Smallville, Supernatural or overrated cheesy claptrap like your complete Buffy DVD set.
Survivor is very entertaining, a guilty pleasure if you will, and The Amazing Race is the best reality TV show hands down.
So tune into another episode of whatever shit-fest you're watching and "loving" just because it has a hot nerdbait chick in it and leave everyone else alone. -
weak. that's the only thing i watch on CBS.
-
"Grey's Anatomy" meets "Survivor."
Or whatever crap the producer used to pitch it.
"They're young and hip, they're at a wedding, and there's a murderer doing something or other, and blah blah blah . . ."
Just STFU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Doesn't matter what show it is. It's all shit.

that would be pbs with american family, which was then ripped off by mtv with real world...what we are watching now is the slow decent into oblivion for network tv...most of the cutting edge dramas are all on pay tv, and what remains on the networks is inane pablum with the same themes running through almost every show...i know that tv is cyclical, first there were westerns, then lawyers, then cop shows, then hospital shows and now its all psychic and crime scene stuff, but most of it is just bad (as aptow pointed out in sarah marshall)...i am a proud "reality" tv hater and i will not eat an aids filled dick

Spoken like a true snotty, self-centered, self-important douchebag that probably has never watched frame one of any top-tier reality program.
Why don't you let some of us cancer-loving peons know what some of your favorite interests, specifically television programs, are?
Unless you shit rainbows and piss sunshine I'm sure there are plenty of flat-out turds in your personal entertainment playlist.
And I won't hold my breath for that list because you wanna-be artsy holier-than thou types are all the same: cowards.
And scratch eating that AIDS filled dick, why don't you feed it to your mother instead?

They seem to be positioned differently, one is a drama, the other a more straight out comedy. Neither show originated the premise. If anything 'Mentalist' sounds like 'Life' in tone.
-
Always enjoyable - hope they have a season as good as the last one.
-
I used to love the show but it has gotten stale and production values seemed to have dropped rather than risen. And I'm so sick of 20 minutes of people buying plane tickets!
-
When?? Make it happen, PLEASE!!
-
sounds like the most hilarious sitcom since MY MOTHER THE CAR. Jesus, I haven't seen 99% of the CBS slate (what the hell is THE ADVENURES OF OLD CHRISTINE?).
-
But I'm really waiting to see somebody make Adam Carolla's Pedif Isle...
-
Wasn't Life on CBS? Is it gone too? My advice on the Amazing Race, stop giving them the answers. "Fly to Istambul" is too easy. Make them make mistakes. Also, try splitting the groups up. Send groups on parallel treks to different cities at the same time. Otherwise it's just getting too repetitive.
-
It'd be a shame if she just wrote liek two episodes, and then left.
-
http://tinyurl.com/6dy9oj. Two new shows? I'm old enough to remember when there were 25-30 new shows and it wasn't that long ago.
