5/5: Men in Trees cancelled, Deadliest Catch story
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
TV Guide reports that ABC’s “Men in Trees,” which has been moved around the schedule numerous times, has been canned.
Creator Jenny Bicks believes that two years of schizophrenic scheduling ultimately did the cherished dramedy in. “I wish the show had not been moved six times and put onto two long hiatuses,” she sighs. “No show could survive that.”
-I wrote a story about Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch,” after interviewing fisherman Phil Harris last week at Hooters downtown. He was a funny guy, very quotable.
-Oh, and following on the heels of Britney Spears guesting on CBS’s “How I Met Your Mother,” Lindsay Lohan is doing a guest stint on ABC’s “Ugly Betty.” Ratings ploy? But of course! And Britney is back on May 12 on “How I Met.”
-And have folks caught the northbound billboards on I-75 (near I-20 in Marietta) and I-85 (just before Beaver Ruin) featuring Dagmar Midcap, the very fetching weather forecaster on WGCL? From far away, you can see the huge words “DAGMAR” and her photo, with just a hint of cleavage. I’m going to have to call WGCL and get a bit more about this ad campaign. I don’t recall a billboard campaign centered around a weather gal before, at least in this town, eh?
