No more "Men in Trees" for Anne Heche

I was so excited when Men in Trees first aired, because I had missed Anne Heche, but I found myself not caring for all that happened... Yeah, it has really fairy-tale-ish endings, with a not-so-subtle voice over, but still, sometimes I thought things happened too fast, and other times, too slow (Patrick's amnesia?? REALLY??)

I can't say I'll miss it terribly, but I'll miss it from time to time...

and, oh yeah, Seana Kofoed's character Jane was awesome!! and beautiful, too...

I know how most feel about Anne Heche but I actually liked this show.  My sisters and I watched every week (somehow we always seemed to find it).  It was adorkable.  It's tv so yes some of the storylines were lame but all in good fun.

i never cared for that show. Anne heche got a boyfriend or a husband out of that so she should be ok. to bad she's out of a job.

I've started watching Men In Trees just because Sarah Strange was in it (loved her in ReGenesis) but found that I fell for the series as a whole. Nice characters, nice landscape (actually shot near Vancouver), nice storylines. One of my fave characters was Chief Celia, she really cracked me up :)

Too bad it got cancelled now. The first season was better than the second in my opinion, but the second season is still good enough to continue. Well, I already got used to all my fave shows being cancelled (sorry for whining).

Hmm, now that MIT is over maybe Sarah Strange will return to ReGenesis... (wishful thinking).

..thinking "YAY! Wonderfalls!" =)

 

I came out to my mom!

I'm going to miss this show. It was so optimistic and adorable. If for nothing else, they introduced me to Josh Ritter's music!

I liked the show, and I try not to let my opinion of a person affect my enjoyment of a show, but after seeing her interview with Craig Ferguson last month, I'm less sorry to see the show cancelled.

"I have, yes. Had an open mind." (Anne Heche)

In past interviews when they've brought up her gay past I've liked her responses, but her overall flippant attitude in this interview, and especially that one-word correction, left me disappointed in her.

...even if apparently all of us who watch it think we're the only one. 

I was entirely prepared to dislike this show, it's so far from my regular tastes as can be (without going into reality TV - won't touch that with a 6-foot spear). But for some reason those little KT Tunstall snippets in the previews kept drawing me in, and when it premiered I found myself watching it, and, to my surprise, liking it. Anne's character is lovely and quirky, the entire town is lovely and quirky, it reminded me a lot of Gilmore Girls (I tried, I really tried for Lauren Graham, but I couldn't do it), but it didn't get on my nerves quite as much. 

And Suleka Mathew. Wow. Where has she been my entire TV-watching life? Of course I adore all the ladies, Marin, and Jane, and Theresa (not Annie, so much, I'll have to admit, she makes me nervous just looking at her), but Suleka Mathew's Sara is my heart of the show, unapologetic and strong, and yet warm and caring, not to mention gorgeous (despite the unfortunate dating-Krycek thing). 

I'll admit I feel a bit like someone pulled the rug out from under me. I'm really sad there won't be more season's of this show.

ALASKA (and its beauty) was the true heroine of this delightful, escapist show

Uh, no. CANADA is the beauty here. This show, and Northern Exposure and virtually every other "Alaskan" movie/tv show you've ever seen/heard of are all shot in Canada, sometimes LA or - recently - Iceland. And here's a fun fact, this show started off with Marin being freaked by a raccoon. Guess which state doesn't have native raccoons (or snakes)?

If you are interested in what Alaska looks like, the movies "Limbo" and "Into the Wild" - about that fool who died of starvation because he couldn't be bothered with silly shite like a map - were actually shot here; Southeast Alaska and the Interior, respectively.

The show was fun, hope they put it out on dvd quickly.

for dumping Ellen, but then there was this little show called Men in Trees that reminded me of Northern Exposure to which I LOVED. You guys are right, it always ends well and the scenery (Canadian or not) was just fun to watch. But now that it's going away I guess I'll hate Anne Heche again, besides she boffing her costar which means she musta dumped her afterellen fella. I guess hate is too strong a word for Anne...maybe just not fond of her, but I really liked her in the show and Jane. Jane rocked...

I thought it was a pretty okay show. I managed to watch it most weeks and forget Marin was nutty Anne Heche.I loved Marin's best friend but I was a bit annoyed with the show now that Marin hooked up with Jack since i was rooting for Cash. It's sad that it was cancelled but abc moved it around so much it was bound to happen. Here's me crossing my fingers and hoping none of my other shows i.e Moonlight and New Amsterdam get cancelled.

I thought this show had been canceled ages ago. It just seemed to disappear midway through the first season.

do you guys think that any lesbian will miss a serie call Men in trees i dont think so

 

I can't speak for Anne-haters, but my disappointment in Anne Heche has nothing to do with the break-up. It has to do with her back-pedaling. The more time goes by, the more she tries to make light of her lesbian past. I don't care if she sees herself as bisexual or as a straight woman who once had an open mind for three and a half years. She was such a strong advocate for our community when she was in it, and after their break-up she continued to make positive statements, but that's changed over time. She knows first-hand how hard it is to be gay, and I guess I just expected more from her post-Ellen.

I liked this show and am sorry to hear of its demise.  I like quirky!  The most recent shows though have left something to be desired.  I like Anne Heche in romantic comedy, she's good at it.  There was a movie a while back...a vacation with a plane crash?? Six Days something something?  It was cute and I don't always want deep and meaningful films on a friday night!
