Yeah that's right. Because Country music sucks.

Outside of the pilot they have had around 6 and 7 million views for each episode. When you factor in the DVR viewers it's between nearly 9 and 10 million.

Either way, it's likely they will renew Nashville.

Additionally they are number one in their slot beating CSI.

Revolution eats into MNF. The fascination with the 18-49 (preferably male for FOX and NBC, neutral for CBS, ABC favors females) is due to the fact they are looser with what money they do have & are more willing to try a different brand. While it is true a retired 60 year old may have more money laying around if he has used Old Spice for the last 30 years he is not likely to try Axe, if he has driven Fords since he was 20 he won't buy a GM. A 30 year old might give it a switch. That is the logic behind 18-49.

Audience size doesn't matter to advertisers. On Monday The Voice pulled 12m viewers and a 4.2 rating, Dancing with the Stars pulled a 2.8 with 16m viewers. Advertisers pay for the demo. Harrys Law on NBC was the most popular show by viewership by about 3million viewers last season and the season prior and it did not survive since advertisers wouldn't pay for it. Total viewership means more in syndication and on cable but to the networks they mean almost nothing.

I really hope Nashville makes it and if ABC announces a second season I will watch it. Hayden is one of my favorite actresses and the plot (especially the political backstory) sounds great. Nothing I hate more than a 1 season show like The Event.

Scandal is another show on ABC that I hope people are checking out. It is safe due to it's stability (1.9-2.1 since it's debut, very little budging) and is a fast paced political drama with multiple interesting over arching storylines and every episode having it's own highly unique conflict. Think Burn Notice mixed with a dumbed down, dramatized West Wing. It's very entertaining.

I watch it, mostly for Hayden P., but I still enjoy it. According to tvbythenumbers it actually looks good for a second season.

Yeah that's right. Because Country music rocks.

Or nobody inspires to sing country leaving the few to reign

I know right?

'Cause people like Kid Rock, Sheryl Crow, Bob Dylan or the like would never ever want to be associated with country music.



The number of people wanting to cross over into country and being denied is quite telling. Even P Diddy wanted to do something with of all people George Jones at one time but George respectfully (and correctly) turned him down.

The money in CM is more stable and more free flowing. In addition it has a much more loyal fan base across the genre than any other type of music which lends to the longevity of the artists.

While other genres have some long running acts, they are more the anomaly than the rule. I mean you can go to the Grand Ole Opry on a Friday night and see a guy named Little Jimmy Dickens who has been performing for more than sixty years still doing it and fans still loving it. Only time you see that in other genres is when the Stones roll out for their geriatric tour every three or four years.

My wife watches it but only because she feels the need to finish it after starting. I caught a part of an episode she watched last night and heard some girl absolutely butcher "Ring of Fire". That was all I needed to see, I'll never watch again.

She did a great rendition of that song. No, it wasn't the same but that is what was good about it. It wasn't butchered. It wasn't disrespectful to the original version and it stayed true to the melody. Unlike what Adam Lambert did to it and others.

I disagree, but that is okay. I don't watch any of the music show, from American Idol and X-Factor to Glee. I like my music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s be it rock, country, or pop. I find that these shows do. Great disservice to the old songs and performers I love.
