RIP: "Men in Trees" canceled

by
Brian Juergens

 

Michael Ausiello just confirmed what was sadly a long time coming: ABC's Men in Trees (which had a few barely-there gay characters played by out actor Mario Cantone and Orlando Jones) has been given the axe. The quirky, illegitimate lovechild of Northern Exposure and ... well, Northern Exposure ... may have been nothing terribly special, but it was sweet and occasionally rather amusing. Looks like its quiet charm was no match for constant reshuffling by the network.

    I'm glad you are so happy.

     I'm sure that it can now be replaced by some of that fine crap reality programming (maybe "Dancing with the Big Brother and The Bachelor losers!!!"). Won't that be a huge step in the right direction for quality television?

    May God go with you Celestia

      Naked men in trees would have been a better idea.

    The title always made me think of The Ramble in Central Park

    Only went there once, but, without rope around my neck and genitals and meth in my pocket.  A good time, however, was had by all.
