Men In Trees has been off the air for some time now.  It's a good thing that most of its cast members have managed to stay in the TV circuit as they get cast in other series.  James Tupper, best known his role as Jack Slattery on Men In Trees and on-and-off screen love interest of co-star Anne Heche, has signed on to play a love interest for Christina Applegate's character on Samantha Who?, while Cynthia Stevenson (Celia Bachelor) has joined The CW comedy Surviving Suburbia as lead star Bob Saget's wife.  Additionally, Men In Trees actress Kelli Williams (Julia) has been tapped to join FOX's new hour-long drama series called Lie to Me.

In case you haven't heard, Bob Saget has a new series on The CW called Surviving Suburbia and Cynthia Stevenson has just been cast to play his wife. After playing Police Chief Celia Bachelor on Men In Trees for the past two seasons, the 46-year-old actress will now try her hand at comedy.

Surviving Suburbia follows Bob Saget, a misanthrope who wants nothing more than to be left a lone in his suburban home.  The new series will serve as part of the network's Sunday lineup, all of which will be produced by studio Media Rights Capital, starting in September.

As reported previously, Samantha Who? producers are adding more actors to fill in the new characters that will spice up its upcoming sophomore season.  You can read more about this casting news in this previous spoiler article.  Meanwhile, Michael Ausiello, former TV Guide gossip columnist who has now taken a new post at Entertainment Weekly, has posted a little casting scoop on his personal website about one actor who has signed on for the ABC sitcom.

Men In Trees has been off the air for several weeks now ever since ABC altered its schedule to accommodate the return of Women's Murder Club, which moved to Tuesdays while Boston Legal moved to the Wednesday slot that used to be the home of the romantic dramedy starring Anne Heche.  Putting the series on hold for third time has left viewers on the edge, not knowing when and how the show will resolve its loose ends.  But now, the network has decided to make room for the return of Men In Trees.

Like most of the cast and crew of Men In Trees, lead star Anne Heche is also struggling to find work after ABC decided to cancel the series.  And now that the 38-year-old actress is unemployed, she can no longer afford to pay for child support.

"I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further," Heche wrote in court papers.

Men In Trees has been canceled.  The Anne Heche-led series has had its fair share of ups and downs over its short life.  It has had its moments (especially when placed after Grey's Anatomy on the schedule) but Men In Trees turned into one of those shows that suffered from schizophrenic scheduling, ABC moving it all around its prime time landscape, as well as keeping it off the air for long stretches of time.  Now, it is gone for good.  The Hollywood Reporter took a look at a number of so-called “on the bubble” shows today and their conclusions are somewhat surprising.  Keep reading to find out the possible (probable, maybe) fates of Reaper, Moonlight, Boston Legal and more.
