ABC's Men in Treesreturned and, apparently, not a lot of people missed it. Meanwhile, netlet The CW crept up on the pack thanks to America’s Next Top Model.
Men in Trees' return at 10 p.m. Wednesday was the lowest-rated show of the night on the Big Four with a 1.7/5 in the 18-49 demo -- lower-rated than Next Top Model, which averaged a 2/5 from 8 p.m.-9 p.m.
The winner and still champion Wednesday was Fox (8.9/23 for the night) and American Idol (10.4/27). Returning Fox sitcom Back to You also won its time period with a 4.4/11.
NBC was second with a 2.6/7, topped by Law & Order with a 3.3/9 at 10 p.m.
ABC was third with a 2.4/6. Its top show was Supernanny, which appeared to inherit some of Idol's reality audience when that show ended at 9:30. The 9 p.m.-10 p.m. Nanny's rating grew from a 2.8 from 9 p.m.-9:30 p.m. to a 3.8 from 9:30 p.m.-10 p.m.
CBS was fourth with a 2.2/6 thanks to a repeat of CSI, which was its top show at a 2.3/6 from 10 p.m.-11 p.m.
The CW averaged a 1.5/4 thanks to Top Model.

I love Men In Trees but the suits were bound and determined to screw it up! They never let you know when it was on, they pulled it every time they wanted. They show had 25 or so episodes in the can and yet it was NEVER ON!!!!!!! Don't blame the fans or ratings. MEN IN TREES deserves better, and so do the fans.

I missed the newest program of Men in Trees. It was not because I watched American Idol or another weekly program.
I am from the Pittsburgh,PA area. Men in Trees was moved to air at 1:00 AM EST. Sorry, but I went to sleep because I Missed your show.
A special program to Honor Myron Cope was aired instead. Myron Cope was a much loved Pittsburgh sports announcer and Much loved member of OUR community.
If that was part of the reason Men in Trees was not the #1 watched show. Then Be Proud!!!!!Even the Presidential debates would have taken a "second seat"to a program about Myron Cope!!!
