The Exes : No wonder reality shows have become popular.

No wonder reality shows have become popular.

We lost the ability to create. THIS. SHOW. IS. HORRIBLE!

The jokes, OMG, the jokes?!?! Predictable, horribly executed, acting is non-existent, and the plot, script, and characters are a total cliche circle-jerk.

Well, I'm off to watching some guys trying to make it rich digging gold, which is where they should bury the rest of the scripts to this show.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

haha oh man. from the commercials, i could obviously see it wasnt going to be the best show out there. comedies are seeming to suck very, very hard nowadays

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

This can't be as bad as Retired at 30, can it? I tried watching the pilot on Netflix and got to the 15 minute mark before turning it off, by the the least funniest thing I've ever watched. It seems that TV Land is trying recreate the accidental success of Hot in Cleveland.

Because sponges never have bad days.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

You're absolutely right about TV Land. They're trying to capitalize on the success of 'Hot in Cleveland' and the only reason that show took off is because of Betty White being on it. It would've failed after the first season if not sooner if she wasn't there, especially since she was the big media darling at that time. They're chasing their tails trying to keep the momentum going and they owe it all to Betty White in the first place. And I'm not some big Betty White fan. I think she's fine and all, but I'm not some huge fan. I'm just convinced that if it wasn't for her that show never would've went anyplace. And meanwhile TV Land seems to think that they're on their way to rivaling network TV. Hardly. Just start showing real classic TV shows and give us a break.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

I like this show and Happily Divorced so much more than Hot in Cleveland. But I agree, Retired at 30 is just awful.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

ME too, love them both but now they put Leah Remini on "The Exes" and I can't stand what she's doing to the show. ;

In regards to the bad reviews: I guess the people who watch shows like "Jersey Shores" are not the ones you should believe when they review this show and say that it sucks, huh? "Reality" shows are hideously horrific

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

Omg, you are SO right. I liked her on "The King of Queens" but she has destroyed this show for me:( I loved the show but hard to watch with Leah's loud and obnoxious character wtf:(

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

The majority sucks, but if you look you shall find: Go On. It's just fantastic.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

I tried giving it a chance, but it's just such a bad show. Plus, Kristen just annoys me. She walks, talks, and acts like a man. She's just not a good actress IMO.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.


I appreciate your opinion and thank you for expressing it but I find this show hysterical. I'm not into reality shows at all, (hate Kim, the scary housewives from anywhere) and I detest stuff like 'The Apprentice" - and all variations.

I really was surprised because "Hot in Cleveland" is moderately funny and "Happily Divorced" is OK, (its in the Rulebook, I'm gay and have to love Fran Dresher), but "The EXES" always has been very clever and funny.

I hope you find something you like that's fun!

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

I agree with you. I do enjoy this show, but I can do without the actress playing the main female lead. I just don't like anything about her form of delivering the laughs.

I love the ensemble of male actors and think their characters play off of each other so well. I actually wish the females were not a part of the show.

Go watch Community!

how we face death is at least as important as how we face life.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

I think the show is cute. It's not like Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones but it's a cute harmless comedy.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

I just discovered this show about a month ago and I think it's hilarious. Apparently I'm in the minority.

I would have succeeded if it weren't for those meddling kids!

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

I think it's funny too. I like the cast. It's not a super smart comedy like "Parks & Rec" but it's a decent way to pass 30 minutes in the evening.

And I like reality shows.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

TV Land/Nick at Nite use to be good tv. Back when they showed old television shows. By old, I mean shows not from the 90's or 2000s, let alone shows made today. They cant get by without sex jokes and other immature stupidity.

This show is trash and im sick of seeing commercials for it every commercial time during the day time shows. If I wanted tv like the other channels, Id watch them. Its too bad they took this route years ago to stop showing classic tv shows only.



Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

Check out ME tv and antenna TV, they play nothing but old shows and you can generally get them with an antenna so no cable or satellite BS to deal with.

Re: No wonder reality shows have become popular.

It's really not that bad plus reality shows aren't the big sale they used to be it seems. Which is probably why so many networks that normally only show reality shows are doing scripted dramas now like Bravo and E!
