Fall's Best Show. Bold Statement, I Know.

Not that garbage 90210 that feels like a really long Urban Outfitters ad. (I'm sorry Michael Lee from The Wire! I still love you!) The best show is actually on, wait for it, CBS, and it sounds like it would be a total piece of dead-by-December trash. It's called The Ex List, and it's about some thirtysomething chic in vague Cali somewhere who is told by a crystal ball-reader that she'll either get married in the next year—to someone she's already dated!!!—or not at all. So she (Bella) starts tracking down all the loser dudes she hooked up w/ in her past. Like I said, sounds like shit. But it's actually genius, written by someone who has actually met a 30-year-old single girl, even. There are jokes about bikini waxing: They call all-off The Gandhi and just the landing strip The Hitler. Plus, the lead chick, Elizabeth Reaser, is adorableness.

Thanks, IMDB.
Especially when she rides a bicycle in skirts. Starts tonight! Tivo it or somefing.
