I am dismayed to find that we are about to watch the Last Ever Men In Trees - because some shiny seat in a TV company decided the figures don't stack up. Well they did this to Due South, twice in fact, and it rose from the dead to become a classic and this could go the same way.
Men in Trees is pure joy to watch, it's light, sad, funny and poignant all at the same time. all the people drive you nuts one week or another but that's just like real life. I am so sorry to think that this delight of a series is going to end. what will we do without chief Celia? Ma Mai? Annie? Jerome? and... and ... and..
The best criteria for a good comedy series is whether it treats its minor characters with respect - and this does. They are all real, three dimensional figures and when the central characters get a bit tedious, they are there to soothe and entertain.
Otherwise I guess it's onto the DVD.
