Question: I love Men in Trees but find Six Degrees a real disappointment. Is there a chance that they will switch the time slots so Men in Trees will be seen by a larger audience on Thursdays after Grey's Anatomy? Thanks for all the great information!
Answer: Still a little early to be playing junior programmer, but it's true that Men in Trees is doing surprisingly solid business on Fridays. While I still find it a pretty thin premise and a pale shadow of Northern Exposure, if it continues to show signs of life, I'd be surprised if ABC doesn't find a more hospitable home for it. The post-Grey's Anatomy slot is awfully prime real estate, but I agree that Six Degrees is unlikely to earn its spot there in the long run. There's also a potential opening on Mondays, should the revamped What About Brian fail to catch fire. (ABC flopped in that time period this week with a Men in Trees repeat, but honestly, this is not the sort of show that can withstand double-runs.)
