Fall's First Casualty: Nashville Hits a Sour Note

Nashville by Katherine Bomboy/Fox

After two weeks of averaging a CW-worthy 2.4 million total viewers, the Fox docusoap Nashville has been pulled from its Fridays-at-9 time slot, ostensibly to return sometime in October, Variety reports.

Until The Next Great American Band arrives on Oct. 19, Fox will fill the vacancy with ~~repeats~~ encore presentations of the freshman drama K-Ville.

I don't know what Nashville is, but the guy in the blue is HOT.

I'm actually disappointed that the first Turkey of the new season was a show I didn't even know existed! Damn, there goes the office betting pool...

I had a different Friday show in the office pool

One less show for Friday Night Lights to go up against. Yay!

Well I wouldn't watch it anyway, I am watching CBS on Friday at 9. Can't say as I am too sad.

(Sur)-reality shows don't count. The first casualty has yet to happen until ~~Caveman~~ an actual scripted show (y'know, a real television show) is canned. -- Rob

In all fairness, probably no one knew it was on, since most premieres, especially on FOX, are happening this week, not two weeks ago.

Not that that would have made it any better.

This actually one of the few shows I liked this past week! I am disappointed.

As a lifelong Nashvillian, I'm not surprised to see this show go. When tv execs realize that our city offers so much more than country music, cowboy boots and farm animals, a show featuring Nashville just might make it.

so expected, the ratings are bad that reruns from the other networks rated higher than this

well, i happened to catch this last week...and i hadn't even known this show was on the air...some of it was pretty interesting...the music scene & how MANY talented people go to nashville to break into the business...
you have to have talent and a LOT OF LUCK...

the bradshaw chick was such a mean petty bitch--was she for real?--very unlikable.

was going to watch it again this week to follow up with all the singers and their journey--

the mika/clint/bitch triangle was just BAD soap opera.

Not very crazy about K-Ville either. It has too much 'rough and tumble' negative vibes coming from it. And that is from beginning to end. The story does not capture my attention. Kinda like Nashville but it is not as believable as other semi reality shows.

I'm a country DJ/music director and could not get thru the first 20 minutes of this show. Would've shut it off after 10 minutes had I not heard the name Chuck Wicks, and realized I just added his fab debut single "Stealing Cinderella." I loved the tiny bit that showed of his showcase. That was one of my major complaints. Why did we only here a part of one great song? I wanted a bunch more - he was great! But the soap opera crap that lac13 refered to totally turned me off. I wanted more singing, and what it was like to break into the biz (and maybe they did, but I couldn't watch more to find out).

I realized that I want to like an artist for their music first, and then find out about them. Let their talent speak for them, not this "docudrama" crap.
