  • "McTreemy" James Tupper to Woo Samantha Who? | Today's News: Our Take | 6/18/2008
    You had to know that fabulous head of hair would not be lacking for work for long. An ABC spokesperson confirms that Men in Trees lead James Tupper has been booked for at least one Season 2 episode of Samantha Who?. As first reported by an impetuous man named Ausiello, Tupper will play "a charming philanthropist named Owen" — and a possible love interest for Who? else but Samantha. — Matt Mitovich read more
  • Ask Matt | 5/30/2008
    Q: Aside from the three leftover episodes of Men in Trees, have you noticed that not one single broadcast network is using the summer to burn off some shows that were canceled in the 2007/2008 season? Nearly all of the shows canceled had less than 10 episodes remaining, and you would think the networks would at least try and finish them off, even on a Saturday night. NBC had only one program with leftover episodes and that was The Singing Bee with three episodes. Likewise the CW only had one... read more

  • Ask Matt | 5/26/2008
    Q: With the recent demise of Men in Trees, October Road, Jericho and Moonlight, did it seem like there was more fan fervor this year with "Save Our Show" campaigns? I have never seen such enthusiasm and creativity, and yet not a single campaign seemed to make any difference. Is there anything that the fans could have done differently that would have worked to save their shows? And please don't say, "Tell people to watch the show to improve the ratings," ? from what I understand, it only matters... read more
  • Ask Matt | 5/12/2008
    Q: Is it my imagination, or is ABC the worst network for supporting its series? The recent cancellation of Men in Trees brings this issue up once again. Men in Trees is a charming show that was strong enough to survive its initial Friday night slot and move to the coveted post-Grey's slot in its first season, only to be put on hold and moved to multiple slots since then. But this is far from the first time that ABC has done this. I had resolved to boycott ABC way back in 2000 after their ... read more
  • Ask Matt | 5/9/2008
    Q: I have sent the following to ABC on its web site: "With the cancellation of Men in Trees, I have lost all faith in ABC as a network that cares about the wishes of its viewers, the delivery of quality shows or any claim to 'excellence' you may purport to have. I've been increasingly saddened and disappointed by choices you have made, but this is really the final straw. Too bad. Keep showing crass, vulgar, useless junk like The Bachelor, for example. Aside from a cheap audience that goes for... read more
  • Ask Ausiello | 5/7/2008
    Q: As you can see by the hundreds of posts to your Men in Trees cancellation story, there is/was much love for Men in Trees. Is there anything you can do to get another network interested? A: Unfortunately, no. Even M.I.T.'s eternally-optimstic creator, Jenny Bicks, says " it is doubtful the show will find a new home." That probably explains why, according to a mole at the Vancouver studio where Trees is shot, the show's wardrobe and props are being sold at fire sale prices. Whispers my spy: "... read more
  • Exclusive: ABC Chops Down Men in Trees | Ausiello Report | 5/4/2008
    If this is a harbinger of the week ahead, I may be taking off on a last-minute vacation tonight. ABC has gone and canceled one of TV's most consistently heartwarming hours, Men in Trees.The sad, depressing news was just confirmed to me by series creator Jenny Bicks, who says she was informed of the network's decision late last week. "I am really proud of the work we did on MIT," she tells me. "A huge thank you to our supportive fans." Bicks believes that two years of schizophrenic scheduling... read more
  • Ask Matt | 4/7/2008
    Q: I think an emerging problem bubble shows like Men in Trees and The New Adventures of Old Christine have in an era where every TV network has a counterpart studio to produce shows, is that of being produced out-of-house, so to speak. If the ratings are great, like NBC Universal's House is on Fox, then it's a moot point, but I feel a show being produced by a rival network's studio is starting to become a liability. Trees and Old Christine, both produced by Warner Bros. TV, are quality shows... read more
  • Morgan Fairchild Checks Out Men in Trees' "Morgan Fairchild" | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 4/2/2008
    The male-dense berg of Elmo gets a much-needed shot of womanhood when TV-serial icon Morgan Fairchild descends upon ABC's Men in Trees (tonight at 10 pm/ET). Playing "Morgan Fairchild," the blonde beauty will seek to secure rights to Marin Frost's life story. TVGuide.com invited (the real) Fairchild to preview her visit to Alaska, tell Morgan apart from "Morgan," and reflect upon '80s fashions. TVGuide.com: Men in Trees is working off quite a lag time. Hopefully it hasn't been so long since... read more
  • ABC Changes: Murder In, Trees Out | Roush Dispatch | 3/31/2008
    Some head-scratching is in order upon looking at ABC's latest round of midseason shuffling. On one hand, I get why the network would try to give Women’s Murder Club some exposure on a night that isn’t Friday. But in announcing its return with three new episodes on Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, starting April 29, you can’t help but wonder if the show is being given a favor after all. This scheduling puts it head-to-head against NBC’s powerful Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,... read more
  • Murder Club Kills Men in Trees' Momentum | Today's News: Our Take | 3/31/2008
    ABC has set an April 29 return date for Women's Murder Club, which has three fresh episodes to burn off. WMC's Tuesday-at-10 time slot effectively bumps Boston Legal to Wednesdays at 10 as of April 30, which in turn trims Men in Trees from the network's schedule for several weeks. Trees is expected to resume its oft-resuming second season on Wednesday, May 28.What's your take? The same sad story for Trees, or did it not have any "momentum" to lose?Check out our Returning Favorites guide for... read more
  • Men in Trees Falls for Sofia Vergara | Today's News: Our Take | 3/24/2008
    Who knew amnesia has such plum benefits? Sofia Va-va-Vergara, whose year-long courtship with ABC has thus far taken her to Knights of Prosperity and Dirty Sexy Money, next will bring her considerable charms to Men in Trees. Appearing in at least two episodes, Vergara will play a book editor/associate of upcoming guest star Morgan Fairchild's, who takes a shine to Patrick, the memory-addled bumpkin. To be fair, at the same time Annie will be getting wooed by Ben's new hockey star, so it's really... read more

  • Trees Won't Grow on Lifetime | Today's News: Our Take | 3/20/2008
    Lifetime has dared to burst ABC's bubble. The Alphabet net, sources tell the Reporter, courted the cabler to air either or both Men in Trees and October Road. Lifetime execs, however, reportedly declined to pick up either. October Road pretty much sealed its fate with a low-rated season finale, while Men in Trees — despite having like a zillion episodes in the can — is still considered to be "on the fence" as it averages fewer than six million weekly viewers. read more
  • Ask Ausiello | 3/19/2008
    Q: Any news from Men in Trees? A: Yep, and some of it's good, while some of it's, well, less good. The sucky news is that the ratings haven't been great since the show returned. On the plus side, Trees' small but feverishly loyal audience has been growing over the past two weeks ? and, given the across-the-board erosion we're seeing these days, that's pretty miraculous. Let's hope the numbers continue to inch upward and series creator Jennie Bicks doesn't have to use the alternate, series ... read more

  • Just Call Me a Men in Trees Hugger | Roush Dispatch | 3/5/2008
    If ever a show deserved a second (or third or fourth) look, it's ABC woefully mistreated Men in Trees. Tonight's episode, which plays almost like a season-opener in the way it resolves one major cliff-hanger storyline and reassesses a number of key relationships, is a terrific re-entry point for those who fell away from this charming show during its many inexplicably long absences from the schedule. (And the new Wednesday time slot does it few favors, with incompatibly cheesy reality-show... read more

  • Ask Ausiello | 2/27/2008
    Q: Is ABC ever going to just leave Men in Trees in one reliable time slot so I can actually watch it? And what are the chances of it returning for a third season? A: I'd say the answer to the first question will directly affect the answer to the second. In the meantime, don't forget: Trees returns tonight at 10 pm/ET! Tell a friend! Actually, tell six! read more
