Exes and Zzzzs

I'm indifferent on how I feel about Logo's "Exes and Oh's." Actually, I'm indifferent on how I feel about Logo as well, so the apple didn't fall far from the tree. But, that's an entirely different post.

"Exes and Oh's" is centered around the main character, Jennifer (Michelle Paradise) and her "quest" to find "Ms. Right" after walking in on her girlfriend fucking their therapist at a spa.

Why, nicely done, script writers.

Directed by Lee Friedlander, who you may also know as an actor from "The Anna Nicole Show." Wait, what? She also directed "Out at the Wedding" and "Girl Play," neither of which I've seen.

What follows is a show filled with queasy dialogue between Jennifer and her pals as they go about their daily lives. You see, Jennifer talks to the camera (remember how annoying that was when Carrie would do that on "Sex and the City"?) and also dishes out "lesbian rules of dating/life" which come from a big, dusty book. Still with me? Okay, hold fast. This isn't The L Word, and most people are fine with that, but it's not engaging enough to even remember it's on Monday nights. Wait, is it on Monday nights?

There's Sam (Marnie Alton), Jennifer's best friend and self-named commitment-phobe. Chris and Kris (Megan Cavanaugh and Angela Featherstone) the long-term couple screaming Urge-to-Merge and lastly, my personal favorite/gag, Crutch (Heather Matarazzo). Because we. just. can't. get. enough. of. her. Her character makes me want to grab those horrifically colored extensions and scream "WTF?!" at her until she leaves. Just effing leave. Please.

Sigh.
