Apparently, ABC has posted the wrong season finale of Men in Trees on their site. The show had filmed two endings: one in case it was renewed and one in case it was canceled. On deciding which ending to use a few months back, executive producer Jenny Bicks said, "One is a little more of a cliffhanger. It may also depend on how we want to end the season regardless. They're both very effective endings."

Rob Owen of TV Q&A at the Post Gazette discovered that ABC had posted the "we're not canceled" cliffhanger ending online by mistake earlier this week. One of his readers asked, "Much to my surprise the episode on the Internet had a different ending than what was shown on TV. It ended with Jack's ex-girlfriend, Lynn, leaving their baby girl on the doorstep of Marin's house and driving off."

Owen confirmed that ABC had indeed posted the wrong ending online for a short time. He also expects that Warner Bros. will save both endings for a DVD release.

Is a new HBO series going to show real sex on screen?

That's the buzz coming out of the summer Television Critics Association tour, which starts today. The new HBO series Tell Me You Love Me reportedly has male and female stars doing it for real, not just the usual "lovemaking" you see on television (even cable). Rob Owen over at post-gazette.com has seen the pilot and says it looks like it's real and not camera angles or special effects.

If anyone has any glimmer of hope that Studio 60 was coming back, this piece of news should squelch out that glimmer and leave a tiny piece of coal in its place:

According to Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the show's sets are being dismantled on the Warner Brothers soundstage where it was being shot. So, even though NBC hasn't officially cancelled the show yet, it's a pretty sure bet that the show will be on the "Out" list when the Peacock makes their upfront presentation on May 14. It makes sense; why would WB take down the sets the week before the upfront if it had any hope that the show was coming back?

Anyway, as Bob mentioned, NBC will air the remainder of S60's only season starting on May 24. Here's hoping that Aaron Sorkin's next series does better. Maybe he should go back to the government for material; anyone ready for a show called Department of Energy?
