5 Reasons Why ABC Shouldn't Have Cancelled 'Nashville;
seriable

Have you ever religiously watched a show for over 4 seasons and then suddenly it gets cancelled?

The worst.

That's what happened to over 4 million viewers when ABC announced that they would be canceling "Nashville" after it's series finale, which aired May 25, 2016. Here are 5 reasons why ABC shouldn't have cancelled "Nashville:"


1. The actors' chemistry was actually really good.

It's no surprise that Golden Globe nominee Connie Britton would act amazingly alongside anyone. However, her on-screen nemesis played by Hayden Panettiere was the perfect fit. They played two country artists who never quite see eye to eye. Other superb actors include Charles Esten and Clare Bowen.


2. Storylines were just getting started.

One of Nashville's greatest strengths were the storylines. The various scenes surrounding real, heavy subjects were some of the greatest I've seen in a show today. The dramas within family dynamics and lies being exposed seemed to carry on throughout the series.

Highlight moments:
Juliette's mental breakdown
Will coming out to Nashville


3. The series is already in talks for a revival.

It was announced on May 26, 2016 by Lionsgate Productions that over 5 networks have reached out to discuss possibilities for a fifth season on a different network. It's not yet been confirmed, however it's been told that the producers of Nashville have a special long-term deal with the actors should the show continue.


4. It started a conversation about homophobia in country music.


In seasons 4 and 5, Nashville tackled the lingering questions surrounding homophobia in country music. On the show, we follow the story of Will Lexington (Chris Carmack) who comes out as gay to all of the world. Of course, he receives some backlash and goes through everything we would expect to happen if that should occur anytime soon. Whether it was positive or negative, the show definitely sparked up a conversation.


5. The music was actually really good.

Over the four seasons, Nashville showed us that not only could the cast act, but they could also sing. Check out Lennon and Maisy who play Rayna James' daughters:


The show had their own songwriters that worked alongside the producers to create the perfect sound to accompany the series' tone.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
