Reba Returns To ABC In New TV Series
/by Jessica NicholsonReba
Reba is set to rejoin ABC in a new series penned by Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry, who will serve as executive producer and showrunner. The untitled project has earned a script commitment and a penalty in a competitive situation, according to multiple sources.
McEntire commented via social media about the announcement on Dec. 12, saying, “we’re really excited!!!!”
Described as a Southern Gothic soap opera, the hourlong series is set in motion after a horrible, suspected act of terrorism happens at a 4th of July parade in the small town of Oxblood, Kentucky. The FBI sends a cocky agent of Middle Eastern descent to investigate. He teams up with the mercurial local Sheriff (McEntire) to uncover secrets far darker than either could have ever imagined.
The series also includes longtime McEntire collaborators Mindy Schultheis and Michael Hanel from Acme Productions. Both served as executive producers on McEntire’s previous series Reba (WB) and Malibu Country (ABC/ABC Studios). Cherry’s producing partner Sabrina Wind will also executive produce via their Cherry-Wind Productions.

Penned with author David Ritz, the book includes Colter becoming the first female to earn the CMA award for Album of the Year (for her contribution to Wanted–The Outlaws), her integral role in the “outlaw” country movement, and the struggles of her marriage to Jennings, as he dealt with cocaine and alcohol addiction.
Colter still lives in Arizona, where Jennings was laid to rest in 2002. The book also chronicles Colter’s return to faith, and how he shared that faith with her in the later years of his life.

Congressional Proposal Seeks Autonomy Of Copyright Office
/by Eric T. ParkerAfter years of soliciting input from stakeholders on all sides of the copyright debate and a more recent, contentious ouster of Maria Pallante as U.S. Copyright Registrar in October 2016, comes the first in a series of expected reforms for the U.S. copyright system. On Thursday, Dec. 8, the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee began the conversation by proposing autonomy of the Copyright Office from the Library of Congress.
The proposal retains the Copyright Office as part of the Legislative Branch and led by a Registrar, nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
Reforms are aimed at modernizing the agency, and funding technology upgrades including a searchable, digital database of historical and current copyright ownership. A noted IT modernization plan is estimated at costing $165 million over five years.
“These policy proposals are not meant to be the final word on reform in these individual issue areas, but rather a starting point for further discussion by all stakeholders, with the goal of producing legislative text within each issue area,” said House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va) and ranking member John Conyers (D-Mich) in a video statement (below).
Hayden, who took office in September, oversaw Pallante and reportedly assigned the Registrar to a new position that required she vacate her office and submit weekly reports to a deputy librarian about her duties, including a review of the library’s retail operation.
“The proposals set up a show-down between Congress and new librarian Carla D. Hayden over the future of the agency,” notes the Washington Post‘s Peggy McGlone.
Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), who issued their reforms earlier this year, said they looked forward to working with their House colleagues. “Based on our extensive consultation with a broad range of stakeholders, we believe the Copyright Office should have more independence, accountability, and authority to make decisions in areas such as IT, budget, and staffing,” they said in a joint statement Thursday.
The House committee is seeking public comment on the proposal through Jan. 31. A library spokeswoman told the Post that Hayden plans to release a timeline for the hiring a replacement Registrar by year’s end.

Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Extends Dylan, Cash Exhibit
/by Jessica NicholsonThe Country Music Hall of Fame® and Museum’s critically acclaimed exhibition Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats: A New Music City, originally scheduled to close Dec. 31, 2016, has been extended through Dec. 31, 2017.
Museum CEO Kyle Young said Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats has been one of the most popular exhibits in the museum’s history. “This is a testament not only to the enduring legacies of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, but also to the technical prowess and creative genius of the Nashville Cats,” he said. “Celebrating unsung session players has yielded one of the most compelling narratives we’ve ever told.
“Much like Nashville’s present ‘it city’ status, Music City experienced a renaissance in the ’60s and ’70s, becoming a creative destination for folk and rock artists,” Young said. “This exhibition captures that relatively untold moment in time in a way that we know is beguiling museum guests. We are excited to hold it over and allow visitors one more year to explore A New Music City.”
The exhibition looks at the Nashville music scene in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Bob Dylan surprised label executives and friends by traveling to Nashville in 1966 to record his classic album Blonde on Blonde. Dylan’s work with Nashville’s ace musicians–dubbed the Nashville Cats—inspired other artists, among them Neil Young, Joan Baez, Paul McCartney and Leonard Cohen, to follow him to Music City.
Around the same time, Johnny Cash was recruiting a diverse range of folk and rock musicians—including Dylan—to appear on The Johnny Cash Show, which was filmed at the Ryman Auditorium.
Co-curated by the museum’s curatorial team and guest curator Pete Finney, Dylan, Cash, and the Nashville Cats explores this unique period in Music City’s history through dozens of artifacts and an array of audiovisual treasures.
