I’m always glad to see Elizabeth Cook get good publicity from almost any source, but Dwight Schrute? Crikey!
On this week’s Nashville I decided they are making the “Juliette” character far more Hollywood than Nashville, and that is not a good thing. Is Juliette getting paired up with a Tim Tebow type inspired by Katy Parry’s parents wanting Tim to ask Katy on a date? Juliette should be less Lindsay Lohan and more Mindy McCready in my opinion. Episode high point: When Scarlett broke up with Avery! Yay!
Opry Alert: Tonight’s Opry features Andy Gibson, the John Cowan Band (do they have time to jam?), Diamond Rio, and the CDB. Grade: B The Saturady Night Opry’s feature Scarlett and Gunnar off “Nashville” performing a couple of duets, Keith Anderson, Tyler Farr, Holly Williams, and Darius Rucker. Grade: B+

PS – One more comment about this week’s Nashville episode. I was kind of surprised to hear Lindi Ortega’s name mentioned and even more surprised to see her performing on stage at the “5 Spot” venue a short while later in the episode. I’d take this to mean T-Bone is a big fan of Lindi’s music. Better that than Scott Borchetta getting his paws on her…
