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! 
Abc I just wonna know why ur keeping mit fans in the dark? You dont advertise the show at all.Its my favoite show next to House that is.Do you hate the show that much that ur trying to kill it?Is it personal or what??

I will be cheaper then the ones on strike.
This was and is my favorite network show. I liken it to Seinfield and Bob Newhart show which were two of my all time favorites. Come on … put it back on where it belongs
Ever take time to consider that 10pm may be a little late for this kind of audience, or the new TIVO/DVR developments in your market which requires a redirection of focus on time placement and target audience correlation to reflect more accurate ratings? Its not the ratings that suck, its ABC’s lack of marketing skills. For sales sake please hire someone who knows what they are doing, or email me. I will gladly join the underdog. I hate seeing a powerful potential flush down the drain because of incompetent business developers. I love this show as do many others I’m… Read more »

I love watching Men in Trees. It was aired Friday evenings at 8pm on Citi TV and it was perfect to watch after putting the kids to bed and just relaxing. I have watched October Road, in my personal opinion it sucks. If I want a soap I will Days of Our Lives. Please bring it back. It was my escape for one hour. I even got my husband watching and enjoying it. BRING IT BACK!
For the love of GOD, where or where did ABC put MEN IN TREES?! It’s the only show worth watching, please don’t make me go to NBC or CBS…
