from

The Ex List is about Bella Bloom - a single, 30-something, successful business owner who is surprised to learn from a psychic that she already dated her future husband AND there's a catch: if she doesn't find him in the next year, she'll remain alone forever. During a bachelorette party for her sister, Daphne, Bella learns from the psychic she must revisit her past relationships and sort through the mistakes to find her soul mate. Skeptical, Bella begins to analyze every past liaison and failed romance with her close circle of friends, Augie, an endearing guy who has listened to Bella's love woes since college, Vivian, Augie's long-term girlfriend, and Cyrus, who's chronically unemployed and full of wry observations. Once Bella witnesses proof of the psychic's other predictions, her cynicism disappears and she begins her search. Along her trip down break-up lane, Bella is determined to remain optimistic and receptive, believing that when destiny reopens doors to the past, every relationship can matter in the future.

my take
Finder of Lost Loves meets Miss Match with a sprinkle of Ms. Cleo. Why do producers box themselves in? Read the description: "if she doesn't find him in the next year..." You haven't started production and you are already limiting yourself. Why?!? It's a great concept: trying to figure out who the one that got away was, especially when you know the one that got away really is the one. I thought Elizabeth Reaser did a great job on Gray's Anatomy (at first), I'm interested to she if she can carry an entire show -- I'm not too sure. It's got a perfect demo lead-in with Ghost Whisperer and in the only natural slot on the CBS slate, although it is rather difficult to launch a new show on Friday. I'd watch early.
