Pilot review: The Ex List

I started out with this one intending to not like it. It just seems annoying and stupid for her to go back redating all the guys she dated before just so she can get married. I guess I'm being hypocritical though, because I liked High Fidelity and I love How I Met Your Mother and this is basically the same thing...just a girl doing it. Also, her name is Bella. Where did that name come from to suddenly be so popular?

Anyway, I kind of liked the roommates. Particularly in the beginning when they're laying around in a kiddie pool. I think in the end she's going to end up with her most recent ex-boyfriend, Eliot. She shares a dog with the guy. The only problem between them seemed to be that he didn't want to get married. I'm guessing he'll come around for whatever reason and that'll be it. Either that or the roommate couple will break up and we'll find out that the guy and Bella once slept together and then it'll be them.

But back to the point. I'm not sure how I feel about the going back to ex-boyfriends thing. All of her interactions with the first guy, played hilariously by the ubiquitous Eric Balfour, made me really uncomfortable. Even though he ended up being pretty awesome. Plus, I'm concerned about Bella's back mole. That's weird and she needs to see a dermatologist. Oh, maybe the dermatologist will be one of her exes.

All in all, I found it to be relatively enjoyable and I kind of want to keep watching it. But I don't feel like I have the time. So maybe I'll see how it fares this season and catch up this summer.
