Yeah, this was a total joke of a show. It was about a group of people that had already had 30 seconds of local fame and not really contributing very much to the actual music community.
I love this show,& I don’t care where it took place. I don’t listen to country, but liked the story &characters. It did not represent Nashville, where I’ve never been, & don’t think it’d be like I’m appearing on an episode of the show, should I ever be there. I don’t believe it had any effect on its great reputation, (esp for w/all the talented artists, who began there). No show could ever change that. Let’s face it. There’s no place on earth w/out drama. Maybe had A&E not been stupid to air it on Sat afternoons more people would have checked it out. I caught it late, & liked it enough to watch the episodes I missed,& remaining ones in the season, religiously. If it weren’t for DVR, I’d not been able to, bc sat afternoons just aren’t convenient. U SUCK A&E. Maybe get rid of MarkyMark & his Fresh Family, give Nashville their timeslot, & it may have been given a better shot. Thx. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB!
