RIP Men in Trees

So this is usually an LB show, and in fact I’ve never seen it . But I saw this last night, and felt like I had to post about it. But according to the Men in Trees series creator, this season will be the last. Sorry to all you fans. Here is the link for more info

Men In Trees – Moving In

This episode centered around the idea of freedom:  being free of mom, living with someone but retaining your freedom and sense of self, etc.

Ok, small details first.  Ben and Teresa are trying to get pregnant.  There may be some concern because of their age.  Teresa tracks Ben down at the rink and walks in, announces she’s ovulating – in front of the hockey team, hehe!  Jane and Sam are in NYC and Jane wants their wedding announcement in the Times.  Sam is having trouble finding a job, so they are holding off on sending in the application until he is employed.  He finds a job . . . with the sanitation department.  Umm.  Jane is all snobby about it at first, but he makes her feel guilty and she turns in the application.  They don’t get in.  She calls up her contact to yell at them because they left them out because her husband works in garbage.  Its not him; its her.  Three literary critics are getting married that week.  Sam knows how disappointed she is, so he sends the announcement to the Elmo paper.  They get a whole page devoted to them, which they tape to their fridge to celebrate their marriage.  Its pretty cute!

The episode really centers around Marin and Jack moving in, and Patrick’s need to be a grown-up. 

Men in Trees, A Sonata in Three Parts

So, i dont care how unpopular it is.  I LOVE Men in Trees.  They just need to put it in a good time slot and all would be well! (Info on saving MIT)  So let’s catch up, shall we?

In the first new episode, Marin finds out that Cash (Cassius Morrisey, hehe) has degenerative kidney failure – hence the reason he has been in the hospital.  She vows to help, and after some embarrassing public charity, just lets him move in her house.  At the end, she finds out that Jack’s ship sank, that they found survivors, and that Jack wasn’t one of them.  ut oh!

Jane and Sam got married in a rush, right before Annie and Patrick’s misfortune of a non-wedding.  They are going to split their time between NYC and Elmo.  I see trouble ahead.

Sara and Pastor Eric have decided to remain celibate (after that one time, oops!) until they decide if they want to get married.  Back to dating, but with no sex.  Pretty funny times, as they are SO attracted to each other.  Eric is also trying to start his new church, as a lot of the congregation of his old one (the ones who didn’t think his relationship with Sara was BAD) want to continue with him as their pastor.

Ben and Teresa are going to start having problems because of his obsession with his new hockey team.  Buzz and Mai are still great comic relief! (Buzz tries to re-teach Patrick to swim, Patrick almost drowns!)  Jerome fell for Annie’s mom, but I think they are going to try it long distance for a while (I have no proof, but I think the strike may have killed off Annie Potts’s role, which is too bad, I still love the Designing Women girls!)

Patrick still has no memory.  All of his loved ones are trying to be patient, but he has kinda turned into a schmuck.  He and Annie have become “just friends,” though she is still in love with him.  He is kinda rude to his mother (though in his defense, she is a bit overprotective) and still kind of dogging Marin, which stops when they hear about Jack.

On to the new episode - ”A Sonata in Three Parts”

Men in Trees

I’ll make this short, as it was kinda stupid episode.  Jack’s boat sank and there are only 3 survivors, including him… oh wait, one of them dies, its pretty traumatic.  They have him with this woman he was close to on the boat, and they are both talking about their significant others – Jack about Marin, and the scientist woman about her husband – which is strange to me.  Why would they be depicted as being so close if it wasnt going to come back later and bite us all in the behind?  I sense trouble for Marin and Jack AGAIN.  Marin is knitting a scarf that turns into a sweater which is a metaphor for her waiting for Jack.  Boring.  Patrick has decided he is in love with Marin and pulls some clumsy moves on her, much to Annie’s dismay.  Annie tried to reconnect with him, but not only does he have amnesia, he must have had a personality transplant, cause hes kinda douche-baggy to her and she decides to try to be friends with him instead, which will only hurt her in the long run.  Sara and Preacher Man are still dating, but he decides to build another church, one with more tolerance, but that means they cant sleep together anymore, so Sara has to start thinking about whether she is in it to win it (meaning marriage) and if she can wait for sex until they decide that.

Thats about it for the episode – next week Marin gets the bad news about Jack I think.  And I think her editor is continuing to chase her.  Bad season at the moment…

DWTS – Got Milk? – and others

Im baaaaack!! Chicago was kinda sucky (the trip, not the city itself) and ive finally caught up on most of my TV. I’ll do a little recap for them all as soon as i finish with…..DANCING WITH THE STARS!!!

So thank goodness Marie didnt win. That doll outfit and dance was ridic. completely. she lost her freakin marbles. thank goodness shes out.So I was still really hoping that Mel b. would win. She and Maks are the cutest dancers, and he should win because of the sexy sparkly suspenders alone. Plus, im a little sick of Julieanne and Helio. He acts kinda like he was macking on her and shes like 19 ppl!!! EEWWW. Either way, Helio won, which was ok i guess, and the weird part was someone handing him a half gallon of milk and him acting like that was the trophy. Anyone know what he did that?
EDIT, 12/05: found out from US Magazine online that they give Indy 500 winners a jug of milk right after they win, so Helio’s sister gave him that when he won DWTS. Maybe they should think about picking dancers with less obscure “sports.” or at least including that in the TONS of packages they ran on the finale!

Greys Anatomy
so I am actually glad for reruns. I only missed on episode. the short version: Izzie feels left out with Mere and Christina, as usual. she tries to prove she is hard core cardio, but it doesnt really work. George is boring. Derrick is moving in on the neuro nurse. Sloane wont give up on trying to get a date with Hahn. Mere is trying to get herself back to being with Derrick (not doing so well). Christina is being a hardcore bitch. the most interesting story line is with Bailey. Her husband is PISSED cause shes never there, and she misses lunch with him because she is having to operate on a white supremacist (“Dont ever call me the Nazi again!”). Who doesnt trust that she wont kill him. ass. I like the story line, but it annoys me at the spouses of doctors, men or women, who get all pissy because their husband or wife is at the hospital all the time. Um hello?? What did you think was gonna happen? i know it happens in real life, but as the girlfriend of a doctor (almost a doctor) it annoys me when they do that!!! Either way, I hope it all works out for Bailey

The Hills
Agreed with everything Kristin said, the She-Pratt is one of those girls i HATE!!! and i love the part where shes all “I am Heidi’s BEST FRIEND” and the previews for next week have her telling spencer that she doesnt think Heidi is committed. What a biatch.

ANTM
Glad Heather is gone, REALLY glad Lisa is gone

Private Practice
Um Holy Crap Cooper and the fem-nazi from the hospital!! I like the ex marrieds getting back together, and the rest was ok

Men in Trees
eh alright episode, I dont like this Patrick having amnesia thing. Him sleeping with Annie and it being much better than before is funny!! Marin calling Jack’s mom is a little stalkerish, but cute. Hope Jack is ok!

Desperate Housewives: Really good episodes. Last week: Susan finds out about Mike’s addiction, empties his pills. This week: He gets another perscription from Orson, who feels bad about running him down last season, and when susan finds those too and gets rid of them, he goes through major withdrawl, knocks Susan down the stairs, gets into a fight with an orderly, gets handcuffed to a chair and susan threatens to leave him if he doesnt go to rehab. Last Week: Bree tries to get the fam together. This week: Bree basically sacrifices her son to have a happy little family of 3. She also gets up in Adam and Catherine’s business with the crazy girl that looks like Lisa Loeb, who locks herself in Bree’s tornado room. Cause shes nuts. Last week: Lynette is cleared of cancer and runs her mom off cause her daughters hate her (maybe for a little reason, but they are pretty heinously mean), but Lynette goes and gets her back and moves her in with her gay ex husband. This week: Lynette is a seriously selfish bitch to McClusky, moves her husband and kids in to her basement, then whines when McClusky’s friend’s cat makes Tom asthmatic. Ughh its SOOO rude!!! Last week: Gabby knocked Victor overboard his boat and might have killed him. This week: they find Victor, he threatens Carlos in the middle of the tornado, then gets a fence post through him, ouch! Glad hes gone. Oh, did I mention theres a Dorothy Gale like tornado in Fairview? and that it roars down Wisteria Lane? Yeah cause it did. Gabby waits it out with Edie, Bree and Orson wait it out with Catherine and Adam in the china cupboard while the nutso woman is in their safe room. They all learn that Adam actually DID have an affair with the nutso, which kinda brings Catherine and Bree closer. Susan and Mike wait it out in the hospital. McClusky and Lynette end up back at Lynette’s in the tub with a mattress over them. They survive, but go outside to see McClusky’s house is completely totaled – with Lynette’s husband and kids supposedly burried in the rubble. No previews!!! Hope they all live!!

Brothers and Sisters
the VERY short version. Kitty gets married, Robert’s career might be in trouble, Sara needs a man and might find one in Steven Webber, Rebecca might have an incestuous love for Justin, Justin is going out with Lena, Lena slept with Tommy but he broke it off, Tommy’s wife and kid are back, Kevin broke it off with the preacher man and is back with Scotty, and Nora goes out with an old flame who tokes up at Kitty’s wedding. REALLY great episode, but watch it online if you want more than this!I’ll be back doing regular postings this week, and they will be better than this!
