First show of the season to bite the dust is… (drumroll please)

"Nashville" just got canned (ok, it’s not totally canceled, just pulled til "later," but we all know what that means) after only 2 weeks. Looks like that plucky team of aspiring country-music and reality-TV stars should stick to CMT. The only question in my mind: will "Cavemen" get even that far?

Some of them try it the old-fashioned way, by writing good songs and performing them well. Others try all kind of alternate routes, attempting to social-climb their way into the right circles in Music City. And of course there might be a romance or two along the way.
