‘The Ex List’ Yanked from CBS Lineup
If you’re a fan of Elizabeth Reaser’s freshman CBS dramedy The Ex List, I have bad news for you. The Hollywood Reporter’s James Hibberd reports that the network has pulled the series from the Friday-night schedule as of this week, October 31. That means the series has become the first hourlong show to be yanked this season.
It’s not hard to imagine why, either. While the show’s paranormal lead-in Ghost Whisperer and crime-procedural lead-out Numb3rs both consistently earn respectable, if not downright excellent, ratings and often win their time slots, The Ex List has never been able to keep up. As Hibberd states in his post, the dramedy is a veritable sinkhole in the Eye Network’s Friday lineup, averaging just 5.3 million viewers overall during its last airing.
Too bad, because Reaser is actually an actress worth watching. However, if it makes fans feel any better, the series isn’t officially canceled … yet, although I imagine Moonlight champions are drooling with glee.
Airing in The Ex List’s former time slot this week is a repeat of the military crime procedural NCIS, a proven hit that’s virtually guaranteed to best its predecessor’s performance.
