TV show description:
Marin Frist (Anne Heche) is a best-selling author and relationship coach who helps women find the right man, using her own life as an example.
On a plane trip to attend an Alaskan conference, she finds out that her fiancee has been cheating on her and she realizes that she doesn’t know as much as she thought she did. Marin decides to stay in the remote town (where the ratio of men to women is 10 to one) so that she can truly learn how to find and keep a good man.
Characters include biologist Jack Slattery (James Tupper); Marin fans Annie O’Donnell (Emily Bergl) and Patrick Bachelor (Derek Richardson); Patrick’s mother, Police Chief Celia Bachelor (Cynthia Stevenson); pilot Buzz Washington (John Amos); Buzz’s wife Mai (Lauren Tom); bar owner Ben Jackson (Abraham Benrubi); Ben’s wife, barmaid Theresa (Sarah Strange); and single mother (via Ben) Sara Johnson (Suleka Mathew).
Never got to see much of it but anything with Anne Heche deserves more of a chance than this one was given.
A fabulous show with excellent script writing which doesn’t “insult” the intelligence of the viewer. Not dumbed down and doesn’t ‘belittle’ the male species as so many shows do these days. As a matter of fact it brings back ‘the strong attractive male’ who genuinely likes women and treats her with a level of decency ….lolol which was once considered ‘normal’. Wow! what a great change from the usual humilating stuff seen on tv….where the only love interests for women are ….uhm…well…..uhm…..’you guessed it’..lolol …definitely not ‘the Men in Trees type’…. This might be why it got cancelled ….Hollywood couldn’t… Read more »
I was so upset when they canceled this show.
