Episode 1 of "Men in Trees"
s01e01 Pilot

Finding a good man in todays world isnt as difficult as some women think. You just have to watch out for the signs. You wouldnt drive with a blindfold on, but for some reason, women continue to date with one So native New Yorker Marin advises a crowd of her devoted fans in the series premiere episode, Pilot. Marin thinks she has found her good man, fianc Graham, but discovers, bound for a speaking engagement in Elmo, Alaska, that hes been cheating on her. Plans for the wedding come to a screeching halt. Concluding that she really doesnt know anything about men, Marin resolves to temporarily stay in Elmo, where the ratio of men to women is ten to one, and get started on her new book about men. Marins subjects are quite a lively bunch. Adorably affable Patrick, an avid fan of Marins books, runs the towns only inn and radio station. Mans man Buzz owns and flies the only plane in and out of Elmo. Sophisticated Ben runs the towns only bar and has an unusual past. Last but definitely not least, strong and silent Jack protects the environment and comes to protect Marin from a possibly rabid raccoon and, occasionally, herself. There are women in Elmo too. Both Theresa, Bens estranged wife and former rock musician, and Sara, the towns working girl, introduce Marin to a whole new way of thinking about men. And of course theres Annie, Marins biggest fan, who moves to Elmo after hearing about Marins break-up to reassure her -- mostly by quoting the relationship advice she has learned from Marins books. Back in NYC, Marins tough-girl editor, Jane, lends her long distance support, and even braves the ice and bad cell phone reception for the occasional visit.
