Fall 2006 New Shows Rank: #21 Gist of the Show: A New York relationship guru (Anne Heche) spontaneously decides to move to a small Alaska town with a predominantly male population. Cast Member Looking To Reclaim Former Glory: Sometimes lesbian (and solid actress) Anne Heche. Similar in Theme to: "Northern Exposure" Time Slot Competition: Close to Home, Las Vegas Likelihood of Second Season: 25%. Final Word: Buzz hasn't been terrible for Men In Trees, but there just hasn't been that much of it. Men In Trees has potential, with one of those big-town-girl-moves-to-small-town vibes, and Heche can be pretty charming at times. It won't be as good as "Northern Exposure", but you never know. A show like this needs time to establish itself and find an audience, but Men In Trees may be canceled before it gets that chance. -Oscar Dahl << Return to 2006 Fall Preview: New Shows 11-23
