Hart of Dixie (The CW)
What It's About: Dr. Zoe Hart graduated at the top of her glass in medical school. She had it all: the perfect boyfriend, perfect job, and exactly what it takes to be a doctor. But when she loses her boyfriend and her career, Zoe takes up the offer of an old man to relocate to his small practice in Bluebell, Alabama to help out the citizens of the small Southern town.
The Good: Fans of The O.C. will love to see Rachel Bilson as her cute, quirky self all over again. The show also stars Friday Night Lights' Scott Porter as a potential love interest for Bilson's Zoe Hart. The show is full of heart and is a fun fish-out-of-water story set in a Southern backdrop.
The Bad: Rachel Bilson is not exactly convincing as a doctor, and the "girl from big city moves to small Southern town" concept is a bit old and redundant, making this a bit cliche.
My Thoughts: If the medical cases are done right, this show could have what it takes to be good. The cast is well rounded, and Rachel Bilson does bring a lot of heart to this show. But that being said, Hart of Dixie will have to try real hard to create something new out of a story line that has been done countless of times in order for them to keep viewers hooked. That being said, the show is from Gossip Girl producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, who is a writing duo that is phenomenal at what they do....so maybe there is hope for this show.
When It's On: Mondays at 9/8c
