''Men in Trees'' is an American romantic television comedy-drama series starring Anne Heche as relationship coach Marin Frist, which premiered on September 12, 2006, on ABC. The series is set in the fictional town of Elmo, Alaska, and concerns Marin Frist's misadventures in relationships . The premise showed at least superficial similarities to the HBO television series ''Sex and the City'' (on which series creator Jenny Bicks was a co-executive producer), which also featured a romantically oriented female writer. The protagonist's apparent "fish-out-of-water" feeling in a remote, small Alaskan town can be likened to CBS's ''Northern Exposure''. The protagonists in both series were New Yorkers thrust into small town Alaskan societies. Filming for the series was based in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada. Five episodes of the first production season, which had not yet been shown on ABC, debuted in New Zealand on the TV2 network in June and July 2007. The five carryover episodes aired on ABC after the first episode of the second production season, beginning October 19, 2007. ''Men In Trees'' was cancelled on May 4, 2008. Its final episodes aired that summer as a burn-off. ==Scheduling== The show first aired on ABC with a preview on September 12, 2006, after the season premiere of ''Dancing with the Stars.'' The show initially aired on Fridays at 9 pm. ET. From November 30, 2006 until March 2007 episodes aired Thursdays at 10 pm. The network announced on May 15, 2007, its intention to return the series to Fridays, this time at 10pm, for its second season. ABC held off five episodes for its second season. Noting the absence of ''Men in Trees'' from ABC's schedule starting in March 2007, series creator Jenny Bicks reported in her blog for ABC that reruns of the show would be shown on ABC beginning in June 2007, continuing throughout the summer. Reruns of the series' first season began airing on ABC on Thursday, June 28.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 ABC Programming Calendar )〕 The series began the fall 2007 season airing Fridays at 10 pm. However, due to its inability to hold on to the audience of freshman hit ''Women's Murder Club'' and the underperformance of 20/20 at 8 pm, ''Men in Trees'' was moved to the 8 pm Friday slot. Following the end of the 2008 writers' strike, the show returned on February 27, 2008, in its new timeslot on Wednesdays at 10pm. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Men in Trees」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
