CBS has just cancelled The Ex List, a low-rated Friday night (and for Friday night, it really has to be low rated) comedy/drama about a woman who is told by a psychic that her true love is a man she's already dated and if she doesn't hook up again with him, she'll never find happiness. I guess now she's really S.O.L. Repeats of NCIS will air for now; no word on a permanent replacement.
And speaking of new lows for Friday night television, on November 14, ABC will try out a pilot episode of a proposed new show called "Super-Manny" which is a male version of Supernanny. That entire idea is creepy on many, many different levels.

Maybe one of her ex'es is John Amsterdam, who is also stuck in cancellation limbo, still looking for his one true love who will turn him mortal again.

Re: X Marks The Ex List
There are also rumors abound about the cancellation of Pushing Daisies.
I mean, I know that I probably shouldn't watch this anyway since I'm, you know, a guy. But it's a really enjoyable show that I can watch in my free time and not really concentrate on. Plus, Jim dale is the best narrator guy of all-time.
Of course all-time to me only consists of 1992-present

Re: X Marks The Ex List
Almost anything on Friday night network TV is, by definition, in trouble, as that's the lowest TV viewing night of the week.
Dick Cavett did a joke back in the 70's: "The FBI finally found Patty Hearst. She'd been hiding on ABC on Friday nights."

I am about 25% sure of this.

Re: X Marks The Ex List
The EX list was pleasant enough with pretty people to keep the tv warm, until LIFE came on at 10. NBC is moving LIFE to Wednesday night. Pushing Daises has some weak scripts this season.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

We use the X List as illumination until NUMB3RS comes on.

Re: X Marks The Ex List
Friday nights are bad but at least the networks do have a schedule. WIth the exception of Cops and America's Most Wanted on Fox, Saturday nights have been completely abandoned by the networks. At one time, Saturday was considered a prime TV viewing night with a lot of top shows. Now it's sporting events, bad movies and repeats of crime dramas.nitrah55 wrote:Almost anything on Friday night network TV is, by definition, in trouble, as that's the lowest TV viewing night of the week.

Think of the old CBS Saturday lineup with the MTM Show, the Bob Newhart Show and Carol Burnett.
But that was 30 years ago.
Can anyone think of a more recent powerhouse Saturday lineup?

So will Pushing Daisies get the ratings boost it needs Wednesday Oct, 29th at 8 p.m. ABC is even promoting it for non-political viewersclem21 wrote:There are also rumors abound about the cancellation of Pushing Daisies.

Unlike the other networks, ABC will not preempt its programming, in this case Pushing Daisies, in order to show the Obama lovefest. That's enough reason to wish for its success.themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:So will Pushing Daisies get the ratings boost it needs Wednesday Oct, 29th at 8 p.m. ABC is even promoting it for non-political viewersclem21 wrote:There are also rumors abound about the cancellation of Pushing Daisies.

Me, too. It'd be a shame if it gets cancelled. I've really enjoyed this year, even if the critics have said that the scripts aren't as strong...I think they are. They're still underusing Swoosie Kurtz and Ellen Greene, but they get major props for the whole Olive-as-a-nun run, culminating in the death in the nunnery.

Re: X Marks The Ex List
Since its Halloween season, I'll mention that last Halloween I was The Piemaker. An apron, a rolling pin, a boxed pie with a couple of Pie Hole labels and I was good to go. Chicks dig a man with pastry.

Re: X Marks The Ex List
Didn't SuperManny just screw around with the Red Sox, get picked up by LA, suddenly discover how to hit again (& run, not jog between bases when he did) then become a free agent & time will tell how much he's now worth to LA? (That may already have happened; I don't follow baseball that closely, especially after What Happened 2 weekends ago.) At any rate, it was a pretty good show, though not for Boston, considering. Lotsa drama though.
