Men in Trees
I LOVE this show.
Anne Heche is adorable and the men are so ummm... manly!
I think this is one of the few shows on TV which portrays men as being ok just as they are. And while I admit that I often don't totally get men and what motivates them. I do love the men in my life just as they are, too.
Having a terrific husband, two great sons and an adorable grandson give me a vested interest in guys getting the best possible shake. And it's no secret the media has a tough time making regular guy look good. Every now and then the universe sets me up in a front row seat and plays out an unforgettable scene, one that stays with me. There was one such scene that showed the intrinsic and inherent goodness of men.
It was a Sunday afternoon my husband and I were off doing our weekly grocery shopping. The weather had been a little tumultuous. It wasn't raining when we went into the store, but when we came out it was POURING. The rain was coming down so thick and fast water from the parking lot was flowing over the curbs. It was easily ankle deep or more. Just getting the groceries into the car was going to drench us both to the bone. So he offered to let me stay with the groceries, under the overhang by the door, while he got drenched and went to get the car.
I was thrilled. And while I waited I was treated to an amazing show.
It was the weekend grocery rush. Couples were pouring in and out of the store. Couples, really! Men and women SHOPPING together! Sharing the load. Young ones... old ones and ones in between. What was so cute (and notable as an observer of human nature) was the lengths the men went to to protect the women from the torrential downpour. The young men carried their best girls piggy back. The older ones tucked their favorite lady under the wing of their jacket. Some held the umbrella over the woman's head, denying themselves any protection at all. The point was they all tried something. It was crazy, amusing and heart warming all at once. It was unforgettable, like a scene out of a Nancy Meyers' movie.
So, take my advice and check out Men in Trees. It might warm you up to that man in your life because I'm pretty sure these feelings are universal and... that it isn't just me.
(You might want to tune in quick, however, because Men in Trees is on ABC and they just moved it to 10 PM after Grey's Anatomy, which would be a good time slot except for the fact that it's up against ER and Shark.) But we'll see.
