TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Men in Trees" season opener, 9 p.m., ABC. If you missed the first season, don't fret. Here's the ideal time to meet the characters. As a cyclone nears, the people of Elmo, Alaska, huddle at the local bar. It's the perfect place for all the characters to bounce off each other. There are funny bits, as Mai rips into her husband, Buzz. And overdone ones, as Patrick sees a new side of Annie.

"Women's Murder Club" debut, 8 p.m., ABC. James Patterson's novels created four women who secretly huddle to solve crimes. There's a cop (Angie Harmon), medical examiner (Paula Newsome), crime reporter (Aubrey Dollar) and assistant district attorney (Laura Harris).
