'Punky Brewster' E! True Hollywood Story; ABC's 'MEN IN TREES' To Premiere After 'Dancing'

E! True Hollywood Story is gearing up for an all-new episode (episode 414) this Sunday (August 20) at 8 p.m. ET/PT. This time they will profile the '80s sitcom Punky Brewster. The 60-minute episode focuses on the sweet little orphan with an awesome wardrobe, who touched the lives of children of the '80s. See what happened to the girl with the magical name after the Punky era... Details here.

ABC has tweaked their fall schedule just a little bit and moved the series premiere of MEN IN TREES to Tuesday, September 12 at 10 p.m. following the two-hour season premiere of Dancing with the Stars. MEN IN TREES was slated to premiere on Friday, September 22 at 9 p.m. The series' second episode will air on Friday, September 15 at 9 p.m., following an encore of the pilot episode at 8 p.m. I think this is an excellent move. This will get MEN IN TREES some heavy exposure that it deserves. I've seen the pilot and it is very fun and light. It reminds me of Northern Exposure. Anne Heche is very good in it. And also, the premiere and the second episode will both air a week before the fall season officially starts, so that is another plus. Sitcom fans might want to tune in as Good Times star John Amos has a supporting role. To view more info and to discuss this news, click here.
