Every spring, decent and even deserving shows are canceled. It’s no fun, as fans of the recently re-canceled “Jericho” are finding out, but it happens.
Still, when good shows are in danger of biting the dust not because poor ratings (as was the case with “Jericho”) but mostly because of network incompetence or indifference, that’s irritating in the extreme.
Of the many shows “on the bubble” this spring, “Men in Trees” and “The New Adventures of Old Christine” are most deserving of “save this show” campaigns.
Good ensemble dramadies are not easily created, and “Men in Trees” has more heart and earnest insight than most. But perhaps the most notable thing about the 2-year old show, which stars Anne Heche as a New Yorker living in Alaska, is the blinding stupidity with which ABC has treated it.
Since its premiere in 2006, “Men in Trees” has had more time slots than I can count.
