Nashville
A "reality soap" following young people in the home of country music. They've traveled to Tennessee in hopes of becoming successful singer-songwriters. Failing that, they'll accept a consolation prize of being reality-TV stars. It's sort of like "The Real World," except with twangy guitars.
| The Pitch: | It's the contrived, soapy drama of "Laguna Beach," with a bouncy country-and-western soundtrack. |
| When It’s On | Fridays at 10 ET/PT, Fox |
| When It Starts | Fri 9/14 |
| What It’s Up Against | Women's Murder Club (ABC), Moonlight (CBS), Friday Night Lights (NBC) |
| Cliche-o-Meter | None |
| Fandom Factor | Warm |
| Do Not Adjust Your Set: | "Nashville" has already premiered, and I bet you didn't even notice. |
| Why It Will Be First To Go: | I've spent the last 15 minutes researching whether this is a reality series or not, and I still haven't come up with an acceptable answer. I've mentioned that the show is already on the air, right? |
| Why It Won't: | At last, Middle America has the chance to embrace vapid and vacuous reality show stars of their own -- assuming anyone remembers that the program is already on the air. |
| Odds of Failure: | 5-2 |
