So
I guess it’s no surprise the ratings were for shit—supposedly half the
viewership tuned out halfway through the first airing. Nashville is
probably uneasy with the idea of itself as a Nashville anyway.
It just ain’t us. Maybe we’ll get there, but for now, we’re still a
tertiary market, a landlocked city with an inferiority complex, and
that’s part of our scruffy charm. Watching Nashville is kind of
like watching the shy, nerdy girl get a babelicious makeover in a teen
romantic comedy and stumble awkwardly in heels for the first time.
You’re kinda rooting for her to become the sophisticated lady you know
she can be, but secretly you wish she’d just had the balls to stay
weird.
