CBS Pulls The Ex-List For NCIS Repeats

CBS has pulled The Ex-List from its lineup this Friday. The freshman dramedy series will be replaced with a repeat of procedural NCIS, which has been performing solidly for the network this fall. The last episode of Ex-List dropped 20% to a season low 1.6 rating among adults 18-49. Though that tied Fox for second place in the 9 p.m. hour, the show has created a sinkhole in CBS’ otherwise ratings-winning Friday-night crime-drama block. Ex-List joins Fox’s comedy Do Not Disturb and ABC’s game show Opportunity Knocks, all new shows pulled from the fall lineup and now presumed canceled.
