Men in Trees cancelled
Apparently when you change timeslots six times, and put a show on two unexplained hiatuses with no information forthcoming about its return it doesn’t help the ratings!?
I’m shocked by this revelation in television programming 101. Who would have thought that by making a show extraordinarily hard to actually see it would lead to poor ratings and thus eventual cancellation?
A lot of vocal people seem to love Men in Trees, I like the show, I don’t love it, but I like the familiarity of it, the inoffensive story arcs and delightful scenery. We generally save up a few episodes and then watch them in one hit (which is my preferred method of watching a lot of shows, except of course things that easily get spoilt such as BSG etc). It’s one of those light shows that you get used to watching. But no more as it is being cancelled as reported by TV Guide.
Because we generally visit “cousin Larry” to obtain our episodes we haven’t had too much trouble keeping track of the show, timeslots mean very little to us, unexpected long breaks with no end in sight do however throw us out.
It’s a real shame I think that they’ve mistreated this show so much, as various channels have with other shows in the past. I remember a little show called Firefly that was shown out of order, in non-recurring timeslots without all the episodes shown. It didn’t seem to be a bad show after all?

You playing with your theme again?
Kerry loves Men in Trees with a passion. I think it’s pretty good. It’ll be a shame to see it gone.
Dans last blog post..Saturday Review: Iron Man
Dan - I just can’t leave well enough alone with the ol theme! They updated the theme that I was using with a new version with wizz bang doohickies so I couldn’t resist.
It is a shame about Men in Trees - I just don’t agree with the banging of one’s head against a wall when trying to produce a show, let it try and thrive instead of throwing constant obstacles.
I’m probably more pissed from the memory of Firefly and Enterprise than anything.
I know you said you like it rather than love it, but you’ve still gone up in my esteem
Kerrys last blog post..Saturday Review: Iron Man
nice theme. But there is one ’slight’ problem. If I don’t select a single post I can’t seem to find a button that let’s me comment (either IE or Modzilla FF). Selecting a single post showed the comments and made me able to comment.
(and Brimstone etc).
I’ve been practically offline since the 28th of april so I had some catching up to do.
In very very short: nice sketches. Liked the Angry thinker best, are you gonna put the colored one up? I saw the Rodin statue in person
Cancelling shows sucks. Still mourning Jericho
Arjans last blog post..Not an OST not a review
Kerry - Who am I kidding - I lurve Men in Trees - but not in an unmanly way.
I think Jack and Marin are going to get married…
Arjan - thanks for pointing that out dude - I didn’t even notice that. Something to sort and fix tonight.
They have one (The Thinker) in Canberra I believe (according to Wikipedia) so I guess that’s the one I saw.
The coloured version is now up live.
Sorted and fixed!
