Judith McKenna says
Nashville has been my favorite show since it hit the air and I was thrilled that you, CMT, picked it up after it was cancelled. I am disappointed that your cancelled it so soon and even more annoyed that it is being replaced by a so called reality type show called Music City. How ironic. You have a good thing going with Nashville and you dump it for a similar show that I don’t intend to watch. Nashville even survived the loss of Connie Britton because we love the rest of the cast and you have touched on topics that were interesting and challenging like Will with his steroids. Why would CMT drop a cash cow for a maybe? I don’t get it.
