History YMMV / Nashville

** Season three also brought that charge, because of the writers' penchant for bringing in more and more characters (most of whom, notably Kiley, [[TheScrappy didn't work with viewers]]), not to mention a belief that piling on the misery at all costs was the best idea. [[DarknessInducedAudienceApathy The ratings suggested otherwise]].

* AwardSnub: 5 Oscar nominations, but its only win was Creator/KeithCarradine getting Best Original Song for "I'm Easy". It also got 9 Golden Globe nominations, including 4 Best Supporting Actress nods (Blakley, Chaplin, Harris, Tomlin), but again "I'm Easy" was the only winner.

* AwardSnub: Unlike Connie Britton (who received a nomination for season 1), Creator/HaydenPanettiere has yet to receive any Emmy love[[note]]Golden Globe and People's Choice love, however, is another story[[/note]] - even though many believe she deserves it as much as if not more than her co-star, including several of said co-star's fans. Chip Esten also hasn't received any nominations despite being one of the strongest performers on the show.

** Scarlett [[spoiler: has a miscarriage in Season 5, followed by the song 'Forever']].

** Teddy weeping [[spoiler: over Peggy, when [[TheScrappy everyone hated her]] anyway]]. And Eric Close's crying face can get a bit silly.

* WhatAnIdiot: Bucky tells Luke, his competition, about an artist he wants to look at for Rayna's label knowing full well the guy would fit well on Luke's label. Predictably, said artist chooses Luke.

** Go onto any board discussing the show and you'll be hardpressed to find ''anyone'' who likes Layla Grant for anything other than her singing ([[TestosteroneBrigade or her looks]]). It continued after Aubrey Peeples (as Layla) gotPromotedToOpeningTitles in season four.[[spoiler: Not least when she started moving onto Avery and scheming to basically taking everything of Juliette.]]

* ActorAllusion: In season 6, Deacon's girlfriend is called... Series/{{Jessie}}.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Opal is just an eccentric woman who ''says'' she's a BBC reporter. Apparently a scene was shot that revealed this to be the case but it didn't make the final cut, so we only have a few subtle hints (like the fact that her cameraman never seems to show up, or the fact that at one point she says she works for the British Broadcasting ''Company'' (it actually stands for ''Corporation''). ).

** Scarlett's BlackBestFriend Zoey stepped up to the plate in season 2 in the eyes of a lot of fans, thanks in part to her storylines being widely derided as tedious. So not too many were upset when she was PutOnABus to Los Angeles in season 3.

may explain

* HilariousInHindsight / {{Squick}}: One comment on ''Entertainment Weekly'''s site pretty much sums it up: "Weird to see Coach Yoast's daughter from ''Film/RememberTheTitans'' making out with one of the football players. 'Remember when we were in that movie when I was 11? Now, pucker up.'" (Burgess Jenkins (Juliette's producer Randy) played racist player Ray in the movie, which was actually made (and released) when Hayden Panettiere was ten.)

* JerkassWoobie: Juliette apparently grew up in a trailer park with an abusive drug addict mom who tries to use her daughter's money to fuel her addiction. A conversation on the phone brings her to tears. Plus we learn in season two that her dad passed away when she was four (in "All Or Nothing With Me," it's revealed he was a Blackhawk operator and was killed in a training accident). And whenever something good happens to her there's always something to ensure she can't really enjoy it, from a hit single ("Wrong Song," a duet for which Rayna is given ''and accepts'' virtually all of the credit, even though Juliette wrote most of it) to winning a major CMA award [[spoiler: the very night her mother kills herself]]. And then her post-Cadence's-arrival PPD takes everything UpToEleven...

* AwardSnub: 5 Oscar nominations, but its only win was Keith Carradine getting Best Original Song for "I'm Easy". It also got 9 Golden Globe nominations, including 4 Best Supporting Actress nods (Blakley, Chaplin, Harris, Tomlin), but again "I'm Easy" was the only winner.

** Watching Juliette's post-partum behaviour was difficult ''before'' Hayden Panettiere checked into a clinic for treatment for that condition herself. [[InternetBackdraft The combination has not gone down well,]] especially as Panettiere's post-partum was one factor in the program's cancellation after four seasons before [[ChannelHop moving to]] Creator/{{CMT}}, who came [[NetworkToTheRescue to the rescue]] just under a month after ABC's cancellation. [[spoiler: And by a strange coincidence, [[Series/HeroesReborn another character she played on TV was said to have passed away giving birth]].]]

* InternetBackdraft:
** Let's just say that Creator/{{Disney}}[=/=]Creator/{{ABC}} and Creator/{{Lionsgate}}'s decision to NOT put the show on Creator/{{Netflix}} has angered the fans. [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgment And let's just leave it at that!]][[note]]For those who are wondering, Creator/{{Hulu}} secured the exclusive North American streaming rights back in 2012, and there was no fanfare or big announcement '''What! So! Ever!'''[[/note]]
** The crew shot an alternate ending for Season 4 in case they were cancelled, but when that actually did happen they still went with the original cliffhanger on the offchance a streaming service would pick the show up, risking leaving the audience hanging forever on a whim and a prayer. [[spoiler: Lionsgate has stated that the alternate ending ''will'' see the light of day.]]
*** Thankfully, Creator/{{CMT}} has picked the show up a month after it was cancelled.
*** However, [=CMT=] is a higher-tier premium cable channel on most systems, and those fans who don't get it are really pissed.

* AwesomeMusic: See [[AwesomeMusic/{{Nashville}} the sub-page]].

* TheWoobie: Barbara Jean. Sueleen Gay also qualifies.

* AbortedArc: Many of the plotlines for season 4 involving Juliette's breakdown (including her involvement in [[spoiler: Jeff's death]]) had to be put off when Hayden Panettiere checked herself in for treatment for postpartum depression and thus Juliette written off for several episodes as in rehab herself.

* BaseBreaker:

* JerkassHasAPoint[=/=]StrawmanHasAPoint: Actually [[{{InvokedTrope}} used deliberately]]. We're encouraged to dislike Jeff for his cynical business practices that give no thought to artistic integrity, but when Rayna starts her own label and has to worry about the business side of the industry for the first time, she's forced to admit some of what he said was spot-on.

** Lamar is a grade A jackass, before he was torn apart by the death of his unfaithful wife.
* JerkassWoobie [[JerkassHasAPoint Has A Point]]: Juliette's proactiveness in steering her career might rub the boss of Highway 65 Records - and therefore Juliette's boss (Rayna) - the wrong way, but what has the label been doing for her lately? Answer: not much at all.

** Teddy, and pretty much anyone associated with his storyline (except for Lamar).

** Peggy, not least by [[spoiler: not telling Teddy that she miscarried. Or should that be "miscarried"? [[KilledOffForReal And now she won't ever be redeemed]].]]

* HeReallyCanAct / [[HeReallyCanAct She Really Can Act]]: Some people who only know Chip Esten from ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'' and other improv shows (and ''{{Series/Jessie}}'') have the former reaction. The latter reaction mainly comes from those who think Hayden Panettiere can only play cheerleaders.

* MomentOfAwesome:
** In the pilot, Rayna telling off her boss after he pressures her to play second fiddle to Juliette. "You can kiss my decision as it's walking out the door."
** Juliette has one of her own in "You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)," when she buys off a photo of Sean from a paparazzi (a picture that wouldn't have affected her at all).
** "Lovesick Blues" has one for Rayna ''and'' Juliette, with their duet on a song they wrote together. Despite their distaste for each other, they're able to be professional and give an epic performance.
** Deacon is pretty awesome anyway, but his leaping to Juliette's defence in the same episode post-Rayna's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech also counts (especially if you believe Miss Jaymes' brilliance is of the [[InformedAbility informed variety]]).
** Despite [[TheScrappy his status]], in "Be Careful Of The Stones You Throw" Teddy has one for standing up to Lamar when he threatens to expose that [[spoiler: Deacon is Maddie's birth father]].
** Gunnar scores one in "I've Been Down That Road Before" when he drops Avery to the floor with three quick punches.
** Juliette's management going behind her back in "There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight" leads to the tiny firecracker having an ''epic'' one, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2fsxobNxe0 which is better seen than described]].
** Both Rayna and Juliette get one in "When You're Tired Of Breaking Other Hearts":
*** Rayna for calling out Juliette for how her decision to "invite the world" to that venue worked out.
*** Juliette for accepting the responsibility and paying the injured parties' hospital bills.
** In "She's Got You," when Charlie Wentworth fires a pervy DJ who belittles Juliette in favour of [[TheRival Layla Grant]], she persuades him to rehire the guy. Sweet though that sounds, that's not the awesome part - the awesome part is her then informing the DJ that if he ever does his JerkAss moves again he'll be fired for good (as well as getting more coverage of her and less of Layla in the bargain). "I guess nice ain't my color," indeed...
** Miss Barnes scores back-to-back moments in "It's All Wrong, But It's All Right," first by refusing to toe the party line and apologise for the "There is no God" misunderstanding at her Opry induction (complete with delivering a musical "Screw you, haters" in the form of "Don't Put Dirt On My Grave Just Yet"), and then by blending TakeThat and TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to Jeff [[spoiler: when he drops her from Edgehill]].
** Rayna and Juliette teaming up to [[spoiler: take down Jeff's attempt to kneecap the former's album debut and control the latter via blackmail.]]
** Juliette's press conference at the end of "Nobody Said It Was Going To Be Easy." [[spoiler: Non-fans of a certain Miss Zoey Dalton will also count the way Juliette fired her earlier in the episode.]]
** Scarlett calling out her mother on her abuse through song in the episode "Crazy".
** Scarlett also delivering another song call-out to Juliette when she sings a ballad rather than a loud number like Juliette wanted because she feels it represents her better as an artist. Also for Juliette for being big enough to recognise that Scarlett has talent and not fire her over it.
** Rayna getting a contract for Maddie torn up by crashing the record label's meeting and calling out Jeff on his shady business practices to his boss, leading to Jeff getting fired.
** A small one, but I wanted to applaud Juliette for turning down an actor on her Patsy Cline biopic who propositioned her. Why? She was still cut up about Avery, and FINALLY realised sleeping around wasn't the way to fix her life, problems or self esteem.
** Three words: Wheel's up, jackass, [[spoiler: Deacon's words after hitting Luke for calling Rayna a bitch.]]

** Those frustrated with Maddie's season 4 antics might get some catharsis in Season 5, when she finally gets an attitude check and a reminder of all the damage she did to her family. Icing on the cake is her asking [[TheHeart Daphne]] "Am I turning into a bitch?", and Daphne replying "A little."

* HarsherInHindsight:
** [[spoiler:The shooting of Barbara Jean]] rather eerily prefigures the murder of Music/JohnLennon (and the non-fatal shooting of UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan) at the hands of crazed followers a few years later.
** After Lennon's death, Altman was asked by a ''Washington Post'' reporter whether he felt "responsible" for the murder due to having depicted a celebrity shooting in this film. He responded, "That's what the film is all about. Do ''you'' feel responsible for not heeding my warning?"
* HilariousInHindsight: 17 years after Hal Phillip Walker's on-screen campaign, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Perot a folksy Southerner]] appealing to American frustration with the Washington status quo really did mount a third party run that made him a serious contender for the White House (Perot even led Clinton and Bush in the polls for part of the summer).
** Some pundits also likened UsefulNotes/JimmyCarter to Walker in 1976.
* MainstreamObscurity: It's regarded as one of the landmark movies of the UsefulNotes/NewHollywood era, but it's never really entered the public consciousness the way that, say, ''Movie/TaxiDriver'' or ''{{Movie/Chinatown}}'' has. It has an enthusiastic fanbase of mainly film buffs and Altman fans. While it wasn't a BoxOfficeBomb,[[note]]it grossed around $10 million on $2 million budget[[/note]] it still didn't play to a huge audience at the time, and it's very rarely played on TV (probably because of its nearly three-hour length), so anyone interested in seeing it has had to seek it out.

* TheWoobie: Barbara Jean
