men in trees

Men in Trees is a romantic television dramedy series starring Anne Heche. The series is centered around relationship coach Marin Frist's misadventures upon relocation to the fictional town of Elmo, Alaska. The premise shows 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 are New Yorkers thrust into small town Alaska societies. Filming for the series is based in Squamish, British Columbia, home of Quest University Canada.

On March 21, 2007, it was announced that ABC has renewed Men in Trees for a second season. According to creator Jenny Bicks, ABC has relocated the show back to its original Friday night timeslot of 9:00/8:00c following 20/20, instead of the timeslot announced at the 2007 Upfronts. However, the slot change has yet to be confirmed by ABC. Episodes of the first season not yet shown on ABC which may be shown as part of the second season were shown in New Zealand on the TV2 network in June and July 2007, and will screen on ABC in late September or early October.
