Grownups who watch the WB's "Everwood" know that one of its great pleasures is the caustic-but-funny friendship between Drs. Andy Brown (Treat Williams) and Harold Abbott (Tom Amandes).

What most of them don't know, though, is how closely that appears to mirror real life.

Thanks to a shooting schedule that keeps both men -- and the rest of the cast -- in Utah much of the year, Williams and Abbott are raising their kids in Park City, Utah, a town that when it's not hosting this month's Sundance Film Festival has a population of about 7,300 people.

Living there has apparently made the "Everwood" cast close, and when Williams needed someone to help bring in his Christmas tree, he called Amandes.

And got him all wet, Amandes recalled at a WB party last night.

"You have to understand Treat. First of all, he gets a tree that's too big for the room it's going into. But it was a little dirty, so he hoses it down on top of the car. So when we're picking it up, it's like dripping down muddy water, all over both of us. And then we're taking it into his house -- so it's like, 'Well, Treat. Maybe you should've done this differently'...and then we stood it up and it hit the ceiling," said Amandes, sounding more than a little like his character.

The two actors hadn't known each other before "Everwood," Amandes said, but now, "We're sort of in each other's lives...My son and Treat's daughter are in school together, so we're room parents together, I'm serious. Oh, yeah, it's pretty bizarre
