Men In Trees

I thought the bat thing was funny.

The bat thing was funny. And the commrcial for the inn.

See, I missed the part about the commercial, unless the only way it came up was when he was watching t.v.?

I also thought the couple that showed up was going to have something to do with the soap opera Ben watches.....

I am so glad they are manning up Patrick.

*sigh* and, I couldn't help myself but to watch one of the tabloid t.v. shows.....seems they are trying to say/not to say Anne Heche and James Tupper {if I have that correct} are hooking up and she is seperated from her hubby.

I watched half an episode and it was so bad that I haven't paused the other couple of times I've stumbled upon it.

That's not a fair sampling but with how little I watch TV that's all most shows get.

[MouseWife]

Oh, so I see 'Alex Stroup' as a poster to 'Men In Trees' and I am like 'Wow, I wonder what he would have to say about this show....


LOL

Yeah, sounds about right.

It isn't a show that is going to win awards for content, that is for sure.

It does remind me of a 'Bridgett Jones Diary' or one of the many books I've read written by a woman with a humorous twist on things. Kind of like how 'The Wonder Years' was from a boys 'coming of life' sort of deal, but, from a woman who has been cheated on and decides to change her life. So, she is coming to life again, finding herself. I find it refreshing. I love to see how she finds her strengths as well as her weaknesses.

Um. Yes. I know the whole story. I really like it. I like how in the beginning she was being defeated left and right {but it was done in a humorous way} but chose to stick it out. She is finding herself and her strengths by sticking it out. That I am glad to see.

No quitting!

Alaska, where the odds are good but the goods are odd.

Is that how it goes?

To be fair to the show, I had seen absolutely no publicity for it so I didn't know (and still don't except for this thread) what the premise was. All I saw was a group of people talking in a bar or restaurant about bad hair days.

I didn't even know the name of the show until this thread mentioned Anne Heche. In fact, she was the reason I stopped on the channel at all, I was busy thinking to myself ("wow, actual evidence that actors don't actually cease to exist at the moment nobody cares about them anymore").

But that 10-15 minutes, taken out of context of the show's premise was horrible so I haven't been back.

[MouseWife]

You are right, some of the banter is quite silly. But, yes, the premise is city girl and people who don't give such a crap.

There was even a deal about Anne Heches' sister coming out {big City Girl} and giving one of the women a pair of 'must have' high heeled shoes. The woman then twisted her ankle. Too used to wearing boots. Of course.

Yes, what has Anne Heche been up to? Besides this, I mean.

I am glad, since people sort of may have quit thinking about her {since her stunt in Fresno and her time with Ellen DeGeneres} that she still has a career. That says good things about her and our acceptance as a society.

Don't you think?

But, I still don't think this is a show for you.

The commercial showed while Ben and Patrick were watching the Korean Soap. I thought the couple that showed up might have something to do with the soap as well.

[MouseWife]

Oh, that must have been when I was in the kitchen myself....

What I don't get is why they made the house she bought so 'unliveable'. There was a woman living in it, right?

I love the area they show. I love the view she gets from her deck/house.

I loved the show where I believe they were celebrating the Solstice. The candles they put on the water? Beautiful.

[katiesue]

I don't think the house was "unlivable" to someone who'd been living in a cabin in the woods with an outhouse for years. I think they were saying she needed to upgrade it a bit to her standards before moving in.
