Exes & Ohs [1] is an American and Canadian cable TV series that was launched on Logo on October 8, 2007, and Showcase in Canada.

Her friends are there to help: Sam (Marnie Alton [2] ), a sexy commitment-phobe who flips women faster than real estate; Chris (Megan Cavanagh [3] ) and Kris (Angela Featherstone [4] ), a lesbian couple expanding both their pet accessory business and their family; and Crutch (Heather Matarazzo), a young musician who wants to be taken seriously but still has some growing up to do.
