TV.com summary

The Ex List was a short-lived American dramedy television series based on the Israeli series Mythological X created and written by Sigal Avin.[1] The Americanized version, developed by Diane Ruggiero and produced by Fox Television Studios, premiered on CBS on October 3, 2008.[2] Avin and Ruggiero acted as executive producers with Jonathan Levin, Avi Nir, and Mosh Danon. The series aired on Global in Canada. [3]

The series premiere attracted 6.85 million viewers and posted a 2.0 in the 18-49 demographic, ranking first in both viewers and the demo for its timeslot. Ratings steadily declined, and on October 31, CBS replaced the series with a rerun of Numb3rs, which topped the highest-rated episode of The Ex List by 65%. [4] The network subsequently cancelled the series. [5]

Premise

After a psychic tells her she's already dated her future husband, a woman explores all her past relationships to determine who it was. According to the prediction, she will remain single for the rest of her life unless she locates him within a year.

Production

The series was shot on location in the Ocean Beach and Coronado communities of San Diego, California, as well as along Seacoast Drive in Imperial Beach, California.

On September 12, 2008, creator and executive producer Diane Ruggiero quit the series after being unable to reach an agreement with CBS over the direction of the show.[6] Six episodes of the show had been filmed before Ruggiero departed. Executive producer Rick Eid had taken over show runner duties to finish the 13-episode order, but the series was cancelled after only four episodes aired. [6][7]

Critical reception

South Coast Today called the series "My Name Is Earl with a whole lot more sex, better-looking people and an emphasis on hedonism and narcissism as opposed to karma and redemption."[8] Time Out called the show's premise "dorky."[9] Entertainment Weekly was more positive, giving the show a B+ rating and saying the show "could be one of the more charming new shows of the fall."[10] The Los Angeles Times was also positive about the show saying "just because something's almost unforgivably cute doesn't mean it can't also be very good and very funny."[11]
