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.

As we reported last week, Men in Trees, one of the final few left standing with scripts, finally succumbed to the four month-long writers' strike and shut down production. It wrapped up filming its last original content installment on Thursday, cutting short the show's production schedule which normally runs through to April.
James Tupper, who stars as Jack Slattery on Men in Trees, told The Canadian Press that many of their crew have expressed their intent to leave the Vancouver and Squamish, British Columbia where the show is filmed, in search of other available projects.

Now that the writers' guild strike has entered its 11th week, and still with no resolution on the horizon, the final few shows still holding out with enough original content for production are falling prey one by one. Men in Trees stands to become the walkout's latest casualty when work shuts down today in Vancouver, where the series is filmed.
Men in Trees and Smallville are the last two live action shows still in production in Greater Vancouver, with Smallville scheduled to wrap up on January 23. Both programs were originally supposed to shoot their episodes all the way until the middle of April.
