The 'Ex-List'

Ocean Beach, CA has a wave of commotion surrounding the small, mom & pop beach community. The 'Ex-List' is a new sitcom set to air in the fall on CBS Friday nights at 9pm. The show is being taped on-location in Ocean Beach, giving much needed employment to over 150 locals, including a local cast.

The show features 30-something, Bella Bloom (Elizabeth Reaser of Grey's Anatomy) as she learns from a psychic that she will marry IF she finds her love within the next year. But, there's a catch: she's already dated her future husband! She's also told that if she doesn't find him within the next year, she will be alone FOREVER.

Bound and determined to marry, she searches through her mind's rolodex to figure out which man, among the many in her past, is to be her future husband.

This is good news to us Ocean Beach locals or "Obceans", as we are sometimes called. The show's popularity puts OB in the spotlight, bringing local businesses added revenue.

Since they're filming on my street, mostly on Wednesdays, I've observed, I get to see first-hand what goes into the making of a film. Looks like a lot of work, but we are all anxious to catch the first episode, airing on October 3rd on CBS.
