With one freshman show, "Six Degrees," struggling to hold onto the "Grey’s Anatomy" audience, ABC will try another one on Thursday nights. The dramedy "Men in Trees" will take over the 10 p.m. ET Thursday spot starting Thursday, Nov. 30. The series, which stars Anne Heche as a self-help author who tries to put her own life back together in a small Alaska town, has been a steady (although not huge) performer for ABC on Fridays this fall. Along with the new timeslot, "Men in Trees" has also received a full-season pickup. It will air at 10 p.m. Thursdays through December; what happens after that will depend how it performs. As for "Six Degrees," it’s done for the remainder of 2006, although ABC says it will return to schedule — just where is unclear at the moment — in January. "We love these two shows and are excited at the promise they have shown," ABC chief Stephen McPherson says. "Thursdays will be a great platform for ‘Men in Trees’ to reach a larger audience."

Yawn, both shows should just be cancelled already.
