No review today, and posts from now until mid-January will probably be a bit more news or movie centric than anything else, due to the mid-season break.  What I do have for you is some news on the DVD release of a show I’ve followed since it’s premiere, The Ex-List.

Elizabeth Reaser, who starred as Bella, spoke to Ausiello recently, and revealed that thirteen episodes of the series have been filmed.  In fact, a number of those episodes were filmed post cancellation, which allowed the creative team to change the scripts and come up with a way to give the series a satisfactory end.  According to Reaser, who recently appeared in the worth-a-trip-to-the-theater-fo’-sho movie Twilight, the show ends with Bella “figur[ing] out which ex is the one… [It’s] someone we met in an earlier episode.”

It’s a series I’ll definitely be copping on DVD when it comes out.  I’m thrilled to hear that The Ex-List was in the unusual situation where they hadn’t completed their order before cancellation.  I’m now considering that the silver lining to the cancellation of the show, because if you look at a show like Wonderfalls, something very similar happened there.  Due to early cancellation, Bryan Fuller (poor guys always does tend to get cancelled) was able to tie all of the plotlines together in time for an awesome end for DVD sales.  Now that show is one of the best cult series you can find.  Maybe something similar will happen to The Ex-List, though admittedly, it isn’t really Wonderfalls status.  What it is, though, is television that definitely doesn’t suck.
