It was announced today that Men in Trees is not getting picked up for next year.
Luckily (smartly) enough a series ending was filmed, just in case. Trees will finish out its run beginning at the end of May.
Creators and fans are blaming ABC for the shoddy treatment (six time changes and two extra-long hiatuses over barely two seasons), and that's partly to blame.
But I'm going to go on a limb here and say the second season was quite a bit a letdown when compared to the first. The cast was great, and the storylines are okay, but something really was missing. Was it Patrick's moronic amnesia? Partly. Or the fact that Jack was getting pretty unlikeable (especially compared to Cash)? For me, yes. Or the silly fish out of water moments Sam ("Plow Guy") had with whatever her name was.
Anyway, I would have liked to see the show continue if only to see if it could right itself. Now we won't get the chance.
But we will get an ending, and that's pretty unusual, so I'll take it.
