ABC has picked up a full season of new drama “Nashville,” it was announced yesterday. “Nashville” joins previously announced full season orders for new comedy “The Neighbors” and returning drama series “Scandal.” On average during Wednesday’s 10:00 o’clock hour, ABC rookie “Nashville” is No. 1 in its time period among Adults 18-49 (3.2/9), beating CBS’ veteran “C.S.I.” by 3% (3.1/9) and NBC’s freshman “Chicago Fire” by 33% (2.4/7). The new ABC drama also leads the hour with Adults 18-34 and across all key Women demographics (W18-34/W18-49/W25-54). Overall for the season, “Nashville” ranks among the Top 3 new TV series in Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34, while qualifying as the No. 2 freshman program with Women 18-49. “Nashville” attracts an advertiser-coveted upscale audience, pulling in 30% higher ratings among Adults 18-49 in homes with $100k+ annual income (index of 130) to make it the top indexing new drama on broadcast TV this season, and the No. 2 highest-rated freshman show overall.

Simple & interesting 
Nashville deserves its high ratings, and the full season order. It’s a great show, and a few friends I work with at DISH and I watch it every week. I have it set to auto-record on my DISH Hopper along with the other big four prime time network shows using Primetime Anytime, so I never have to worry about missing an episode even if I have plans on Wednesday evening. I’m excited to see what they do with the story now that they have a full season to work with, too.
Well, the ratings are good for now, but i don’t trust ABC.This is a good show and it will be a shame to cancel at the end of the first season.
That’s a very good point. ABC cancels a lot of great shows (Last Resort is a good example), which makes it hard to get into a lot of their new shows. I’m still hoping that doesn’t happen to Nashville, though.
Well, Nashville might get a chance because wednesday was not a good day for ABC.I’m very curious, just like you to see how the story develop in the first season.
