Though Nashville hasn’t been a stellar hit for ABC, it is the network’s most successful new series of the season. As a result, ABC has ordered a full season of episodes.
Nashville follows the story of country music’s Rayna James (Connie Britton), a legendary superstar whose popularity is starting to fade. Her producers offer her a joint tour with an up-and-comer, Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the young and sexy future of country music. The cast also includes Powers Boothe, Charles Esten, Eric Close, Clare Bowen, Jonathan Jackson, Sam Palladio, Robert Wisdom, and Judith Hoag.
The series debuted to a 2.8 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 8.93 million total viewers. The ratings fell by 29% in week two, hitting a 2.0 rating with 6.74 million. While the Halloween night episode dropped to a 1.8 rating, the show seems to have stabilized at a 2.0 demo rating.
Nashville marks the second full-season order of the season for a new ABC show. The first was for newbie sitcom The Neighbors. Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue both received additional script orders but no additional episodes have been ordered.
What do you think? Have you been watching Nashville on ABC? Are you glad to hear they’ve ordered more episodes? Do you think it will be renewed for a second season?
Love it. I am not even a country music fan.. But this show has made me one. Pls bring it back. I watched the whole first season on hulu in three days
I think this show has a GREAT story line. I can’t wait to see more episodes. START them NOW 🙂
Put the show on earlier and it might get better ratings. The show is awesome and can’t wait to see season two.
Love this show. It offers something differ than a “reality” show. Hope it stays on for another season.
I think Nashville is one of the best TV series to come out in a long time. For those of us who love country music there couldn’t be a better venue. Everything about the story line is great and the music is fabulous. All around great work.
Love this show! Sincerely hope it gets renewed for a second season.
Love it!
Love this show and want to see it return for a full season.
Great show. I’d watch Connie Britton read the phone book for an hour. She is that good!
It is a great show. Give it a chance or a better time slot…….
love it
love it
Excellent show! The acting is great and so is the music, even though I’m not a country music fan. I love everything about this show and will be very disappointed if it isn’t renewed.
I agree, I am not a country music fan at all, but I love this show! I am really surprised, but I’ve been looking forward to it every week. Well done!
I am completely and totally addicted! I can not wait for Wednesday night! I agree with the acting, it is believable and just down right spectacular! I am obsessed with the music from everyone but especially Clare and Sam! I am in love with this show! Please renew for many many more years!
Truly,
A greatful fan
