Today, Absolutely Bananas has suggested the subject of HEARTBREAK.
What first sprang to mind on this topic? Easy.
The cancellation of Men in Trees (I can’t even link to a show page because abc.com acts like it never existed).
Yes, it was Northern Exposure remade (with a female lead, yay! although it was nutjob Anne Heche, boo!). But it was cute, and it kinda sorta actually captured some reality of living in southeast Alaska (which I did for almost seven years). And they had a show blog, Blogs in Trees, but that too is GONE. SI-A-NARA, BABEEEE.
Delayed by the Writers’ Guild strike, like many others, the show just never regained its footing.
And, as misery loves company, I am happy to report that this was a heartbreak I shared. Yes, the hubs (a true Alaskan) actually watched a show WITH me! Normally, I watch chick shows and he walks out. Or he finds an old Steven Segal movie on TBS, and I walk out.
We finally had a show to share. Then, they cancel it.
I hoped the reports were wrong. I prayed to the cancellation gods to take someone else. Take Ugly Betty. (I never got that show.) But no, when is the interwebs ever wrong?
And as sure as Britney’s not getting custody, one day, POOF. Gone.
I’m looking for a cheap, easy fill-in rebound kinds of shows. ABC, are you listening? Samantha Who better not become Samantha Where. I’m too fragile to suffer another loss.
Have you shed any TV tears lately? Or ever?

First off, Wesley‘s dress WAS bad (and he seemed to know it), so adios. Also, his name kinda bugged me. The Hubs would guess he got beat up on the playground a lot.
Blayne, who annoyed me the first show, cracked me up with all his mocking of Stella and her luv of leather (or “leatha!” as he said it). She somehow pulled out a good one this time, so I’ll give her that.
Then during judging, Nina Garcia (or, as Heidi says, “NEE-NAH GAH-SEEYAH”) provided a little profound advice that we should all heed:
Lastly, we come to Leanne. Oh, Leanne, Leanne, Leanne. I like you, but have you NOT been paying attention to ANY prior season? 
Then there’s Stella who decided to use garbage bags to make pants and a top and seemed surprised that her creation looked like “garbage.” She kept saying it over and over, “this outfit is going to look like trash! It’s not working….it’s just gonna be garbage.” Huh?
Jerry, who falls squarely into the “ego” category. Oh, yeah, this ego made something pretty. Pretty ugly. With ugliness on top.
