Ladies and Gentlemen, Set your TiVos!

…or DVRs… The Apple wouldn’t want to offend any of Adam’s passionate supporters….

From Israel, to Hollywood, to San Diego, and… finally… to YOUR living room — tonight is the debut of Adam’s newest television offering, THE EX-LIST, and we’re all really excited about it.

So tune in tonight at 9PM ET on CBS!

Watch Adam discuss body hair with Alexandra Breckenridge and perhaps even answer that time-honored rhetorical question: “When did having a vagina become a full-time job?”

If anyone can get to the bottom of it, America, our Adam can.

Hell, while you’re at it, tune in every week this fall to see what other provocative topic Adam might be wrapping his lips around.

Seriously, though, at least consider getting a TiVo. We’re just trying to make things easier for you.

N.B. Viewers who fail in their mission tonight, should be able to view EX-LIST episodes here:

The Official CBS Ex-List Page

There’s even a fan forum at the site. Now get to work!

Note from amyro (8:30 PM): In addition to the CBS fan forum, Television Without Pity has decided to add the show to its roster of recapped shows. The forums there are always pretty lively (you’ll want to read the rules and FAQ before wading in) and there’s a nice interview with Elizabeth Reaser. As regular Apple readerz know, we screen all comments here, so, if you’re looking for a chat, you might head on over to one of the forums, but please leave a shout-out before you go.

We’ve been shockingly remiss in our Adam duties lately and we’re gonna try to post more this weekend, but we did want to give Gotham-area Adam fans a heads up on more screenings of Tennessee, this time at the Urbanworld Festival. There’s an 8 PM screening on Friday, September 2nd 12th.

Thanks to commenter Jeane for the tip.

UPDATE: Thanks to commenter a concerned reader for the date correction.

Sorry for the late notice, gang, but the Apple just found out about a special underground screening of Horsefingers 3: Starfucker that will be held tomorrow night in Brooklyn.

What, pray tell, is Horsefingers 3: Starfucker?

Well, it’s a funny short film starring our own Adam Rothenberg and adorable Maria Thayer (who was great in Strangers with Candy).

You’re being offered a chance at a sneak peek.

The director, Kirsten Kearse, will be in attendance, and the night will include food and music at a reasonable price. Adam won’t be able to make it, unfortunately, but it’s rumored he’ll be observing the festivities from a secure location via closed circuit.

Here are the details:

Thanks to commenter Andrew for the tip.

As we mentioned way back when, Adam was recently cast in yet another female-oriented project, the CBS drama pilot The Mythological X, which has turned into an official CBS drama series, The Ex List, controversially set to debut in Moonlight‘s old spot this fall. An import based on the series Mythological X, it’s the first Israeli series to be adapted for American network television.

A little clip from the series (with no Adam, sadly) can be found at the CBS site and cautiously optimistic reviews (also with no Adam) can be found at the New Jersey Star-Ledger and Buzz Sugar. It looks as though the original series was a one-year one-off, but showrunner Diane Ruggiero claims to have plans for the second and third seasons, should the show survive.

THE EX LIST (formerly Mythological X) is a comedic drama about Bella Bloom (Elizabeth Reaser, “Grey’s Anatomy”) – a single, 30-something, successful business owner who is surprised to learn from a psychic that she’s already dated her future husband AND there’s a catch: if she doesn’t find him in the next year, she’ll remain alone forever. During a bachelorette party for her sister, Daphne (Rachel Boston, “American Dreams”), Bella learns from the psychic she must revisit her past relationships and sort through the mistakes to find her soul mate. Skeptical, Bella begins to analyze every past liaison and failed romance with her close circle of friends, Augie (Adam Rothenberg, “Mad Money”), an endearing guy who has listened to Bella’s love woes since college, Vivian (Alex Breckenridge, “Dirt”), Augie’s long-term girlfriend, and Cyrus (Amir Talai, “Campus Ladies”), who’s chronically unemployed and full of wry observations. Once Bella witnesses proof of the psychic’s other predictions, her cynicism disappears and she begins her search. Along her trip down break-up lane, Bella is determined to remain optimistic and receptive, believing that when destiny reopens doors to the past, every relationship can matter in the future. Diane Ruggiero (“Veronica Mars”) and Jonathan Levin (“Charmed”) are executive producers for Twentieth Century Fox Television.

The Friday Night Lineup for CBS:
8:00-9:00 PM GHOST WHISPERER
9:00-10:00 PM THE EX LIST (New)
10:00-11:00 PM NUMB3RS

The Ex List has also been picked up by Global in Canada.

Update (June 26, 2008):
CBS has announced The Ex List will debut on October 3rd.

More Sunday Slices after the jump and birthday wishes can still be left at the post below.

Aw, that’s right, y’all! It done rolled around again!

Our Adam is a year older and a year wider, as in W O R L D W I D E.

America’s heart-throb has simply blown UP this year — lighting up both the small (The Ex List) and big screens (Mad Money, Tennessee) with his moist, multimedia magic.

So drop the phat tunes and get jiggy with it, Nation, ’cause Adam always saves the last dance for his most devoted fans.

This day is dedicated to him… and the ones he loves….

Adam’s been cast in the CBS drama pilot, Mythological Ex, an Israeli translation about “a woman who, after learning from a psychic that she already has dated the man she’s supposed to marry, revisits all her past relationships.” News at 11.

As noted in the post update below, our readers have been hard at work sending Tennessee news our way, so people looking for the newest news on that project may want to take a look at the comments section.

Just a quick programming note to remind everyone that Adam is expected to debut on Lipstick Jungle tomorrow night, Thursday the 20th, at 10 PM ET on NBC (click on the above to watch the Adam-free preview). According to The Futon Critic, his Law & Order episode, “Submission,” is currently scheduled to re-air on Saturday, April 12th, at 10 PM ET on NBC.

Update (March 20, 2008):
I may have missed Adam due to some technical difficulties, but it looks like Adam did get cut out of the episode. Rats. Looked to me as if the show was looking to wrap things up in case LJ doesn’t get renewed and decided not to introduce any new characters. If I missed it, let me hear all about it in the comments.

Update (March 22, 2008):
NBC pulled the preview video so we have.

This afternoon, the Tribeca Film Festival formerly announced that Tennessee will be appearing as part of the Discovery slate of films. Hollywood Reporter noted that, while “Some established stars also can be found … arguably, more eyes will eagerly await the world premiere of Aaron Woodley’s ‘Tennessee,’ featuring [Mariah] Carey (‘Glitter’) as Krystal, a free spirit who joins two brothers on a search to find their father.”

We’ve compiled some ticket info for everybody after the jump and we’ll get more specific scheduling info posted as soon as possible.

Update (March 14, 2008):
Commenter Jeane brought us the news that indieWIRE had posted a full run-down of the films from the Discovery slate, which includes thirty films, with eighteen World, one International and eleven North American Premieres from up-and-coming directors. In a statement, Peter Scarlet, Artistic Director of the Tribeca Film Festival, said, “With so many new voices and talent in filmmaking today, it is always a thrill to be able to find exciting new artists and introduce them to our audience in our Discovery section.”

Tennessee is described as an “intimate road movie,” in which “two brothers travel to the hometown they fled as teenagers to find their estranged father. When they are joined by a spirited woman (Mariah Carey) running from her abusive husband, they begin to grow closer, and the truth of their journey comes to light.”
