Administrator Toups Posted May 11, 2012 Author Administrator Share Posted May 11, 2012 “NASHVILLE” Chart-topping Rayna James (Connie Britton) is a country legend who’s had a career any singer would envy, though lately her popularity is starting to wane. Fans still line up to get her autograph, but she’s not packing the arenas like she used to. Rayna’s record label thinks a concert tour, opening for up-and-comer Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the young and sexy future of country music, is just what Rayna needs. But scheming Juliette can’t wait to steal Rayna’s spotlight. Sharing a stage with that disrespectful, untalented, little vixen is the last thing Rayna wants to do, which sets up a power struggle for popularity. Could the undiscovered songwriting talent of Scarlett O’Connor (Clare Bowen) be the key to helping Rayna resurrect her career? Complicating matters, Rayna’s wealthy but estranged father, Lamar Hampton (Powers Boothe), is a powerful force in business, Tennessee politics, and the lives of his two grown daughters. His drive for power results in a scheme to back Rayna’s handsome husband, Teddy, in a run for Mayor of Nashville, against Rayna’s wishes. “Nashville” stars Connie Britton (“Friday Night Lights,” “American Horror Story”) as Rayna, Hayden Panettiere (“Heroes”) as Juliette, Powers Boothe (“MacGruber,” “24”) as Lamar, Charles Esten (“Enlightened,” “Big Love”) as Deacon, Eric Close (“Chaos,” “Without a Trace”) as Teddy, Clare Bowen as Scarlett, Jonathan Jackson (“General Hospital”) as Avery, Sam Palladio as Gunnar and Robert Wisdom as Coleman. “Nashville” was written by Callie Khouri (“Thelma & Louise”) who is an executive producer along with R.J. Cutler (“The September Issue,” “The War Room,” “Flip That House,” “A Perfect Candidate”) and Steve Buchanan. The pilot for “Nashville” was directed by R.J. Cutler. The series is produced by Lionsgate, ABC Studios and Gaylord Entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted May 11, 2012 Members Share Posted May 11, 2012 I hope it's a big hit for two reasons: (1) It will keep JJ busy; and (2) I love Connie Britton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wingwalker Posted May 17, 2012 Members Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm not a huge fan of country music, so I'll probably pass on this one. But from the clips, this could either end up a solid performer or the next Smash (start out good & quickly loose steam, in both quality & ratings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted May 18, 2012 Members Share Posted May 18, 2012 Too many of these shows on the networks feel like they should be mini-series not regular series and this, like Smash and Revenge, is one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
