Whoever titled this show should be REALLY embarrassed for themselves that they failed to grasp the simple facts about plurals. As in, the plural of Oh would be Ohs not Oh's. To think they were paid for their ineptitude.

maybe they made it like that for a reason?
Women would rule the world if we didn't hate eachother
I'd be willing to lay money on the table that the reason was ignorance of apostrophe usage.

For your information, the only place where the title appears with an apostrophe is here on IMDB. On the show website and on iTunes it does not have an apostrophe. You should do a little research before making accusations of ignorance and save yourself the embarrassment.
shareiTunes, that renowned fountain of Information. Check all the fan pages and previews for a show called "Exes and Oh's". Maybe they hired someone else who had a keener grasp of the English language to rectify their mistake.

Well fan pages are bound to have mistakes aren't they?
Women would rule the world if we didn't hate eachother
I would say a fan would be more likely to know the spelling of the show that they like so much that they make a page about it on the internet. Also, I said 'previews' also, which include professional sites. And there is a large(ish) number of both fan sites and previews.

Instead of bickering about WHO made the typo, why doesn't someone head over to the logo website and see what the official deal is.
Also, people are paid for their ineptitude all the time. Outrage is acceptable, but not shock.
Remember that IMDb's policy for a title is the first release title, be it of a film or a television series. I'm sure that the title has been corrected since but unfortunately for the producers, the original incarnation is here for all to see.

Oh for the sake of Pete, it's not the end of the world.

I'm more interested in the English language than in the content of an endless parade of American television shows. I thought telling someone to 'get a life' because they don't prioritise things the same as you do, or find the same things exactly as important (or unimportant) as you do, went out of fashion about five years ago.
I'm sure that there are plenty of threads discussing the merits of the show--its writing, acting, production values, etc. This thread was about the poor grasp of English held by whoever first wrote the name, and the subsequent failure of people afterward, who failed to correct it.

No, I made this thread to point out the extent of slack linguistics in a supposedly professional environment. It's one thing for someone like yourself, a regular message-board member, to write it's content rather than its content, because you're not being paid to be here. However, I don't know if you've noticed, but the increasingly abysmal standard of language use is becoming endemic among the (so-called) professional sector, be it multi-national companies such as ASDA (now owned by the American company Walmart) having large displays reading DVD'S & CD'S, or among smaller businesses with hand-written signs that beggar belief. It's just symptomatic of our increasingly lazy and dumbed-down culture. If you've decided to view this thread's creation as representing someone attempting to bolster their ego or to condescend, then that's your prerogative. However, speaking as the thread-starter, you're wrong.

Have you ever thought of being less presumptuous?
I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill? Yet you spend two paragraphs imposing your waywardly facile psychology upon me--congrats.

This thread is funny in a sense that there are bigger things to worry about in life, and if this is your one issue, than you have a pretty nice life.
shareYes, this is my one issue. My whole life revolves around apostrophes, as you astutely diagnosed based on one thread I created on one message board on the internet. I'm sure that your life is composed of BIG things which you grapple with always, your soul a fiery furnace of sincerity. We mere mortals get distracted sometimes with minor things, such as linguistics which, as I'm sure your lofty position highlights, is complete trivia, even though language is one of the most powerful tools known to mankind.
I look forward to having you condescend from your cloud of Bigger Issues and throwing enlightenment on such darkened souls as those who are small-minded enough to worry about the erosion of language.
P.S. It's "then you have a" not "than you have a" but shucks, you've probably evolved past language anyway.

Just saw the show the other day, and I also wondered.
After carefully watching the title sequence, I noticed it is, in fact, "Exes & Ohs" but could look like "Oh's" because of the type of font they have used, which gives letter S a little something on top that may look like an apostrophe.
But, mind you, I'm not expert typographer so I could be wrong.
