So Long, "Six Degrees"; ABC Replants "Trees"

Looks like maybe you can launch a series on Fridays, after all. That is, if you intend to move it to a better timeslot once one opens up.

ABC has announced that it will move drama Men in Trees from its Friday night timeslot (one of the very worst berths in all of Television Land) to the plum post-Grey's Anatomy timeslot on Thursdays at 10 pm, beginning November 30th.

And a further vote of confidence in the drama, ABC has ordered the back nine episodes of Men in Trees, bumping the series to a full 22-episode season in the process. It's the first full season pickup for a freshman series for Warner Bros. TV, the studio behind Men in Trees, and the third pickup for ABC, which previously announced it had ordered full seasons of Ugly Betty and Brothers & Sisters. (ABC is still weighing pickups on fellow freshman series The Nine and Help Me Help You.)

So what does that mean for the current holder of the post-Grey's Anatomy timeslot, the struggling drama Six Degrees? Not such good news, I'm afraid. Looks like that series aired its last episode of the year last week (ouch) and isn't anticipated to return to the schedule until January (if at all).

The likelihood of ABC ordering any new installments of the NYC-set drama is slim to none, so Six Degrees fans, make your peace now. It's increasingly looking like we'll never learn what was inside Mae's box after all.
