Marin Frist (Anne Heche) is a relationship guru on her book tour. She is shocked by fiancé's cheating. She decides to hide away in Alaska. Of course, she falls for local Jack Slattery (James Tupper).The title refers to the fact that there are many more men than women in Alaska. This is the run of the mill successful-girl-who-can't-keep-a-guy sitcom and they added a dash of Northern Exposure. Anne Heche works quite well here. She's always had good comic timing. James Tupper is supposed to be the leading man. I never found him to have much of a spark. Although I guess Anne liked him enough to stay with him in real life.

OK, as a guy I have to say that MEN IN TREES is a great show. Both the acting and the writing are excellent. The characters are people you can relate to as human beings. I haven't enjoyed a show like this since Joan of Arcadia. MEN IN TREES is not a chick-flick series, but a series about people, relationships, and the connections between us. Anne Heche and James Tupper lead a fabulous cast. The show has humor, family, romance and an amazing amount of soul. I missed it when it originally aired, but now I usually end up watching 2-3 episodes at once. Even the characters I didn't like at first have grown on me. I'm only part way through the first season and enjoying every bit of it. What it really needs now is a DVD release.

Hi, I just wanted to say that MIT is my favorite new show! I agree with previous posters who commented on the chemistry between Jack & Marin. It's so amazing! Especially knowing they're a real life couple! That just makes it more exciting! I hope ABC won't cancel this show! I'd be so upset! It's so funny & romantic. I love the fact that it take place in Alaska, where there are 10 men for every woman! There are some really great lines in this show. Makes you think! I love the music as well! I just love everything about it! The men are gorgeous, & the women are beautiful & funny! I'm really into all of the story lines, but I'm especially hoping Jack & Marin get back together real soon! & I hope Jack puts Marin's name on his arm next! Lisa in CT

I disagree with the other viewer's comment about keeping same sex relationships out of such a "nice" show like Men In Trees. I personally think it's refreshing to include another part of reality to the show. Do we not realize that homosexuality exists in every corner of our country and every corner of the world? We aren't living in the 1950's. Come on people, it's time to be more open and understanding to the diversity that exists everywhere. It's not like it's a Disney show on Saturday afternoons. It's a modern adult show, which happens to talk about sex already. These days, even in Alaska, I would think it's possible to find an open gay couple. If you don't want to see it on TV, you don't have to watch it. Watch the family channel or rent a G movie.
