Check out this 2 minute video of guys putting on jeans in onorthodox ways. The last one is pretty amazing.

ABC Fells TREES
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.

Premieres and Notables May 5-11, 2008
Monday, 5/5
Life's a Trip (Travel). 10 pm. Series premiere.
I would have loved to sit in this pitch meeting... "Hey, boss, new show idea: let's film peoples' vacations and then air the footage!" I mean, that's just ratings gold right there. Who wouldn't want to see other people on vacation?
This week, CSI and Two and a Half Men trade writers. Tonight we see the CSI crew tackle Men (CBS, 8:00 pm CST). I tried and gave up on this show three times over the years, but I have to check this out. One of the coolest behind-the-scenes ideas of the year.
Tuesday, 5/6
One of my favorite TV actresses joins Shark (CBS, 9 pm) while Jeri Ryan is on maternity leave. I almost started watching the series last year, but decided against it when I didn't hear great things. But Paula Marshall pitching in for a while means I'll be watching. I love Paula Marshall.
Wednesday, 5/7
Secrets of the Dead; PBS. 7 pm (check local listings). Season premiere.
Thursday, 5/8
Together in Alaska; History. 9 pm. Series Premiere.
NPR commentator and newspaper columnist Geo Beach takes on jobs in Alaska, beginning with gold prospector.
Scrubs has its season finale (and probable series finale on NBC) at 7:30 when they blow their budget doing a Princess Bride-esque fairy tale told by Dr. Cox to his son.
Two and a Half Men's creators take a whack at writing CSI (CBS, 8 pm).
Another season finale:
30 Rock (NBC, 8:31)
