"A single white girl, living in the city, working at a magazine" (Men in Trees)

[Listener]

That's not exactly what it's about, but I had to make the joke.

Last night the wife and I watched the first half of Anne Heche's new show, "Men in Trees".  It had one really amusing moment: when she actually sees the sign "Men in Trees" because there are men above her trimming trees.

Here's the plot:  a female relationship coach is engaged, finds out her man is cheating on her, gets drunk about it, and (I think) ends up staying in Alaska, where she was for a speaking engagement.  They've already set up the two guys who will fight over her (the hunky, suave fish and game biologist and the goofy Ray-Romano-in-Welcome-to-Mooseport guy).

When will studio execs stop approving shows with plots like this?  I can't see "Men in Trees" lasting very long.  It wasn't very funny.  It wasn't at all original.  And they keep coming up with names for women that normal women (ie: Alice, Gamp, Dots, Dazie, Nishi) don't have -- this time, it's Marin.  Yes, the character's first name is Marin.

The show has one redeeming quality:  Abraham Benrubi is in it.

I bet this was pitched as "Northern Exposure meets Miss Match".

They cancel perfectly good sci-fi for dreck like this.

It's no One Tree Hill.

I laughed at the title.

I'm lifting this from somewhere, but you could make it a man-child rom-com as well.  Just add a zany guy trying to steal her away from a successful and seemingly nice corporate lawyer.  Oh yes she is also trying to raise precocious moppet headed little boy.

change the channel and watch something else.


get a Neilsen box ( the ones used for judging the ratings) and then set it to porn.   that will tell them what your real interest is.
