Thursday's News & Notes

Here's a look at today's biggest TV news, tonight's hottest programs and last night's biggest ratings winners.

QUICK CUTS
*Actress Justine Bateman is joining the cast of ABC's Men in Trees. In the recurring role, she'll play Jack's (James Tupper) ex-girlfriend who moves back to Elmo with "startling news" according to TVGuide.com. The character is a down-to-earth wildlife photographer, so basically, the anti-Marin Frist (Anne Heche). The drama stars Heche as a relationship expert who moves to Elmo, Alaska after discovering that her fiance is cheating on her. Men in Trees airs Friday nights on ABC.

*And finally, ABC Family will not bring Three Moons Over Milford back for a second season. The dramedy, about a town of eccentric residents facing a possible earth-ending disaster, opened to a measly 1.6 million viewers last month. The show has continued to drop off since.
