CBS Dumps The Ex-List
I was having so much fun with this show. I didn’t particularly like the Bella character per se (which was played by Elizabeth Reeser) but I loved the supporting cast and the story isn’t all that bad either.
But it had not been performing well, its ratings down to 5.3 Million with 1.5Million in the demo. It was the weakest on Friday nights. And that’s not good for CBS, since that means the show isn’t bringing the money in where it should. Coupled with the fact that it’s showrunner left the series in the middle of it all because of conflicts with what she wants vs. what the network wants, The Ex-List was not heading to a good place.
This makes the Ex-List the first 60minute scripted series to be canceled this season. But it is only the fourth one so far, along with Do Not Disturb, Hole in the Wall and Opportunity Knocks.
