ABC orders more 'Men'
Skein will shift to Thursdays on Nov. 30
By JOSEF ADALIAN, MICHAEL SCHNEIDER

ABC today ordered nine more episodes of the studio's Anne Heche
starrer "Men In Trees," for a full season total of 22. Even more
importantly, net said it was moving the show to a potentially primo
timeslot: Thursdays at 10.

"Men" -- which many pundits pegged to be one of the season's first
casualties -- is the first of WBTV's new fall shows to recieve a
full-season order.

"Thursdays will be a great platform for 'Men in Trees' to reach a
larger audience," said ABC Entertainment prexy Steve McPherson.

"Trees" will shift to its new home on Nov. 30, bumping "Six Degrees."

Jamie Brinkoeter...

That's awesome news. I love this show, and having Grey's Anatomy as a
lead-in on Thursday certainly can't hurt!

ABC said the latter skein will be back in January--but so far no word
on whether the net plans to order any additional segs.

Separately, CBS said "King of Queens" will return next month. Net will
double-pump episodes Wednesdays from 8-9 p.m., starting Dec. 6.

"Jericho" will return in February.
