CBS’ EX LIST An Ex-Series!!
I am – Hercules!!
CBS has yanked “The Ex-List” and will fill its slot with an “NCIS” repeat this Friday.
Four episodes aired. 1.11 is shooting. We don’t know yet if production will be halted or if any more completed episodes will air.
Original showrunner Diane Ruggiero ("Veronica Mars") departed the series over creative differences. Rick Eid, who worked on “Law & Order” and Fox’s short-lived lawyer drama “Conviction,” took over following episode six.
“Ex List” is the fourth new show to be pulled from a network schedule, following Fox’s “Do Not Disturb” and “Hole In The Wall” and ABC’s “Opportunity Knocks.”

It's buy two, get one. Not two for one.
-
Probably due to just not paying attention though. A huckster's shoes can be an uncomfortable fit.
-
It Repped Low Numbers.Well, great, now what am I going to do in between Ghosty Girl and the FBI Math Guy show?
-
Seriously, how can you pull a show after FOUR episodes? I never saw The Ex-List, but I'd heard it was okay. Was it really THAT bad?
This just reminds me of the cancellation of what I thought was a great show...the semi-obscure Kitchen Confidential. It aired three episodes, then got pre-empted for Major League Baseball for two months. Then they aired ONE more episode, and Fox pulled it citing bad ratings. The show filmed a total of 13 episodes, and I LOVED it. I have them all downloaded, still can't find the DVD (other than online, and I'm one of those guys who doesn't buy online).
Again, I didn't see The Ex-List, but was it so bad that they cancelled it after FOUR eps? -
that i don't even have time to hear about them before they're cancelled.
-
please.
-
Was it any good???
-
CBS pulled the only show on that ridiculous network worth watching.
-
I've never seen worse writing in my life. They had what they thought was an "edgy" scene where two women talked about how they shaved their vagina hair. It just wreaked of pathetic "look at how daring we are" desperation.
-
Moonlight worked better on CBS friday night lineup...
-
...If they do, they'd have to cancel almost their entire line-up because they're all so bad. Get ready for a five-season MY OWN WORST ENEMY!
-
Why? I'm baffled. Sometimes it seems like any show with a brain is doomed.
-
It will be missed (by me at least).
-
If CBS is trying for a younger demographic Craig Ferguson would be a good bet, his show is deserving of a wider audience, sure it'd likely turn off older viewers but It'd kill in the 18-35 demo....
-
That series deserved at least one more season, if only for Sophia Myles.
-
Although, if Diane Ruggiero left due to "creative differences", and I enjoyed the shows that she ran, would I still have enjoyed the ones that followed her departure; the ones that were "creatively different"?
-
Although it seems it isn't a "laffer" but a drama:"Eye has yanked the drama off the sked...".But the article does go on to describe the other cancelled shows:"Other early casualties this season include Fox's laffer "Do Not Disturb" and reality skein "Hole in the Wall," as well as ABC's reality entry "Opportunity Knocks." "
-
Never give a show an even break. Never give a show a chance.
Good thing the Simpsons was an instant over-night ratings blockbuster wasn't it? 20+ seasons and one movie later, and Fox is still milking that yellow cow.
-
after 4 shows. Having Ray Liotta and Virginia Madsen on the payroll, the network needs to make a quick decision. With only 6 or 8 episodes in the can, by episode 4 they are running out of episodes and either have to commit and spend more on a show that isn't doing that well, or just cut their losses. But, really, how expensive was "Ex List"? "Smith" probably cost a lot more and I can see the networks getting antsy over it, especially with two well-know leads whose names the networks used to hype the show, and it not living up to their expectations. But, with a no-name cast, on a Friday night, how high was CBS's expectations for "Ex List"?
-
Nothing extraordinary, but it was great after a long week of shit at work, and I loved the ensemble.
-
Yep, serves CBS right. Like the show or not, it had a following.
-
make that MOONLIGHT.
-
That was classic television. People jump through a hole for god's sake! They had midgets and fat people! America is just too damn hard to please.
-
Wow. I mean it's a lowest common denominator bloodbath. The show with the Hidden Temple guy is gone too. What's next? The end of Top Model?
-
The Ex-List was a great show, by network standards. Clever writing, fetching lead actress. So shit like Chuck, Pushing Daisies, Heroes and Law and Order: SVU stays on the air, while this gets shot in the back of the head? No wonder broadcast TV is dying, everyone migrating to cable.
-
Buy a show, 4 weeks in fire the creator/head writer, water it down, then kill it because their changes did not grow the audience.Also in the age of the Internet once word gets out about coming changes, at least 10-15% of the audience bails. In this era of super-tight ratings, that's the difference between a 13 week run and being gone before Halloween.-----later-----m
-
Period. I don't care if the ratings were a 30 share, the show needed to go because it sucked.
-
So...you know...this is actually GREAT news for me.

It's not ground-breaking, but it does make me laugh. Jay Mohr's very funny in it.
-
the right show got canned....well maybe Heroes should be canned

by ricarleite
