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! 
Men in Trees is a GREAT show. I hope they bring it back!!
Bring back Men In Trees!!!!! There is not a single thing on TV to watch now anyway!! No wonder you have no ratings.
I loved this show so much that I got my friends watching it too and I’ve been waiting for it to come back….I am so dissapointed that we haven’t seen it yet. Are you kidding, bring it back! Bring it back! Bring it back!
I have really enjoyed Men in Trees and have missed it a great deal. Please Bring it back. There aren’t very many good sitcoms on but in our household we looked forward to each episode.
bring back my favorite show!
TREE’S OFFERS SO MUCH TO VIEWERS. IT’S SEXY, FUN, DRAMATIC, SAD, HAPPY AND SO MUCH MORE. HOW MANY SHOWS OFFER THAT? NOT MANY. I AM SUPRISED HOW MANY MEN WATCH TREE’S. WE WOMEN WOULD TALK ABOUT IT AT OUR LOCAL WATERING HOLE AND THE MEN WOULD JUMP RIGHT IN THERE WITH US. THE SHOW IS A REAL TURNON. PLEASE, CONSIDER ALL OF US VIEWERS WHO NEED THIS SHOW FOR MANY REASONS.
REALLY MISS MEN IN TREES, PLEASE BRING IT BACK. IT’S A GREAT HEART WARMING SHOW, WE DON’T SEE ENOUGH OF THESE DAYS. LOOKED FORWARD TO WATCHING EVERY THURSDAY…
We miss men in trees. Please bring it back before fall. Some are getting (lack of) cabin fever. Otherwise, we are googling a site for single men in Alaska! 🙂 Seems if you get a good show, you sabotage it… Could it be to avoid paying higher salaries?
PLEASE BRING BACK MEN IN TREES…….WE LOVE IT & MISS IT!!!!!!!
I am confused as to how you expect a show to do well if you take if off the air for so long just to introduce other shows and risk losing the audience you had. Please bring Men in Trees back it’s a great show and these reality shows are killing me.
PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK MEN IN TREES. IT”S A WONDERFUL SHOW AND ALL THE GOOD SHOWS SEEM TO BECOME “REMOVED”. LET THIS ONE LIVE…IT HAS A LOT OF LIFE LEFT IN IT.
With all the “trash” on television these days Men In Trees was a delight to view. I have waited patiently for the series to start up again as ABC promised, but still a no show. I will not be viewing any shows on the ABC network if this series is not brought back. By the looks of all the comments, I am not alone.
Please don’t drop Men in Trees in favor of a boring, dul as dirt show October Road.
Please listen to the viewers. We want Men in Trees back on television. Please put it back on after Grey’s Anatomy, where it should be.
Really miss ‘Men in Trees’. Maybe an earlier time slot would bring a larger audience. I always taped it and looked forward to watching it. Look forward to seeing an episode soon.
BRING BACK MEN IN TREES!! IT WAS THE ONE HOUR A WEEK THAT MY HUSBAND AND I COULD SIT DOWN TOGETHER AND AGREE ON SOMETHING TO WATCH. IT WAS OUR DATE NIGHT. I MISS DATE NIGHTS:( PLEASE GIVE ME MY HUSBAND BACK. BRING BACK TREES!!!
