ABC surprised more than a few people when the network renewed Men in Trees for a second season. Great, but where did it go?
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 Alaska conference, she finds out that her finance has been cheating on her and 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, and write a new book. The cast also features Abraham Benrubi, Emily Bergl, Seana Kofoed, Suleka Mathew, Derek Richardson, Sarah Strange, Cynthia Stevenson, Lauren Tom, James Tupper, and John Amos.
Men in Trees debuted on September 12, 2006 on ABC. Trees followed the Fall debut of Dancing with the Stars and attracted over 12.1 million viewers. The second episode lost a third of the audience and attracted just over eight million in its regular timeslot. Despite a season of ratings ups and downs, ABC renewed Men in Trees for a second year on March 21st.
Men in Trees has been off the air however since March 8th. ABC pulled the series to make room for the debut of October Road. Trees was originally scheduled to return on April 12th but ABC has reworked its schedule more than once, delaying the return each time.
ABC has now announced that Trees fans will have to wait a whole longer to see new episodes — probably five months. The remaining five episodes of season one will now be part of Trees’ second season, bringing the sophomore year episode total to 27.
Though frustrating and unusual, this isn’t unprecedented. Grey’s Anatomy and Boston Legal both had 27 episode sophomore years. There have been rumors that ABC may change their mind and decide to air the rest this season. We’ll keep you posted so stay tuned! 
Please bring back Men in Trees. My husband and I watch very little television and the one program we really enjoyed is no longer on. It is a well written show with wonderful characters you can’t help but fall in love with. Please bring back “Trees”!!!!
Joanne and Stan
I agree! I loved Men in Trees. Please bring it back. I like it much more than October Road.
As I look through the channels, there isn’t anything that catches my eye on thursdays, I so miss Men in Trees, it made me want to watch TV. Please bring it back soon.
I seldom care enough about a t.v. show to hunt around for what happened to it….but Men In Trees was one of those that was worth it…
Please keep it on the air!!
Please bring back Men in Trees. My husband and I watch very little TV and were very disappointed when “Trees” never returned. It was a well written show and the actors were extremely convincing in their roles.
I’m really disgusted over the delay of Men in Trees,what’s wrong with TV today, all we get is cheap reality, and I use the term losely. I am so sick of so called reality shows, lets get back to good TV with story lines like MEN IN TREES thats good tv
Please bring back the Men, in Men in Trees. The whole show has such fun characters
and great light story line.
Why networks insist in canceling shows that are funny,have wit and keep not only women but men entrateined? We have too many reality shows, game shows and let’s not forget all the shows that are making criminals experts in how to break the law? So, come on bring the show back already!!!!!
MEN IN TREES, MEN IN TREES, MEN IN TRESS…bring it back, bring it back, bring it back!
Its one of the best programs you have on TV!!!
Unpatiently waiting and looking for it to return!!!
I´m watching Men in Trees here in Sweden and I love it. We are now in episode 12 and I must say I can´t wait for the next episode. Why can I only see to 17 episode on your website? Are ABC shut down the show?
Please don’t let Men in Trees be another cast off. I is the only show I like in the evening line-up. It has a lot of personallity. It’s enjoyable and we need something to give us an up lift…Tired of all the law shows and killing shows… It very depressing to watch them all the time.
So Please bring Men in trees back….. soooooooooon!
Thank YOu.
I watch very little television, but loved Men in Trees. I would always make the time and looked forward to Thursday evenings because of Men in Trees. I hope it will be back on soon.
