Oh CBS! You surely disappoint.\u00a0 Don’t attempt to erase your first casualty of the fall tv season, The Ex-List.\u00a0 I mean really?\u00a0 Haven’t your marketing people told you that the interwebs have long memories even if your traditional TV viewer people do not?\u00a0\u00a0 There is no sign of the show existing according to your\u00a0 website.\u00a0 The link is gone according to you: http:\/\/www.cbs.com\/primetime\/the_ex_list\/<\/a> But wait! Do a search on your site and just like magic, broken links! Ex-list search<\/a> They have had it rough after the creator and executive producer, Diane Ruggiero, quit mid September.\u00a0\u00a0 Now, with the first sign of rating dips they pull the show?<\/p>\n

It is no wonder viewers flee traditional TV like it is their duty.\u00a0 Yes, there is some great content, but it is hard to tune in to a new show and get invested in the characters if the network is going to pull the program shortly after.\u00a0 Network executives need to start thinking about television more like a book or a movie. \u00a0 It needs to have a beginning and an end, not some cliff hanger content that provides no conclusion.<\/p>\n

I am aware oof the possibility of the show returning at some random time to fill space, but I think CBS needs to take a lesson from Lauren Zalaznick of Bravo!.\u00a0\u00a0 She takes the marketing playbook seriously. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.\u00a0 It works.\u00a0 If you send you message enough times, people will listen. So here my message again, content needs to have a begining and end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
