Nashville on CMT

Back in the spring, it was announced that Nashville was ending.  ABC had cancelled an amazing show again, leaving fans devastated. After seeing the ending, I knew the show would be back.  They had 2 different endings planned. One with closure and one that left us hanging. I was sure either Netflix or CMT would pick it up and it would return. A few months after the finale, it was announced we would see Nashville on CMT.

By starting the Christmas season early, people  are somehow being disrespectful to Veterans. That is just an opinion, there is no law. To disrespect someone is to act in an insulting way toward them. When you disrespect people, you think very little of them.   Respect is a way of treating or … Continue reading →
