I was just reading TV guides Ausiello Scoop and learned that ABC has canceled Men in Trees.
I’d only started getting into that show towards the end of last season, but I enjoyed each and every show and kept up with it this season.
Did you know that during the writers strike ABC has 12 or so shows on hold that they could have been airing instead of running reruns of their other shows? Perhaps if they’d done that and hadn’t moved the show around so much Men in Tree’s would have had a bigger following now and wouldn’t have been canceled.
I have a feeling that in the next week or two we’ll start to hear about a few other shows being canceled. Ones that don’t make sense canceling because they didn’t have a chance to gain an audience.
Did you enjoy Men in Trees? Were you a fan?
If you were a fan you’ll be happy to know that when they were filming the last episodes for this season they did film scenes that would give the show closure if it were to be canceled so those scenes will be tagged onto the finale. The rest of the Men in Tree’s episodes will start up again on May 28th.

I suppose no one knew how long the strike would last.

I’m fed up with network TV execs. Men in Trees was just like my favorite show of all-time, Northern Exposure. Both shows had a loyal following and didn’t insult your intelligence. All that ABC will come up with is a bunch of crappy reality shows so that they don’t have to pay talented and worthy actors. ABC stands for all bull crap if they don’t reconsider. CBS cancelled another one of my all-time favorites, The Brotherhood of Poland New Hampshire just after only several shows. I will never forgive CBS. Neither will I forgive ABC. I guess I need a life, huh?

I just emailed ABC with my contempt for canceling Men in Trees. Reality TV (NO MORE). It is so hard to find a thoughtful, well written and intelligent series anymore, more and more I am thankful for my OFF button.
