Netflix presents Dolly Parton's Heartstrings with Julianne Hough as Jolene

Delta Burke's comeback to television and you chose Julianne Hough for your title?

I wonder if Julianne is Dolly's type??

I wonder if Dolly is Julianne’s type?

R1 had it right. It is like OP doesn't even GO here.

R3 maybe Julianne can talk about that in her next interview.

Her beauty is not beyond compare, and I won't excuse it, despite her flaming locks of auburn hair.

The clip on the view looked awful

“I’m begging of you, please don’t take my man — please don’t take him just because you can.”

So many men have said that to me when I beard for their down low boyfriends.

I'm sure it won't be any Smoky Mountain Christmas.

at 33 rpm becomes Joe Lenn.

I'm sure it won't be any Kenny / Dolly Christmas to Remember

I love Dolly,who doesnt ? But I am getting tired of her. She was awful at the CMA's and looked like a frigging puppet.

R8 who else has she bearded for besides Ryan?

She was on The View today and seemed to be confused what 'feminist' meant. Her response indicated she thought it meant "manhater" or *gasp* "lesbian". She quickly reminded everyone she's had a man for decades, and mumbled something about loving all kinds of people.

DELTA'S BACK BITCHES!

Which episode has the gray couple toasting each other in the trailer?

Not watching because of Julianne Hough, god knows what she did to get that part.

R14 clearly not the sharpest tool in the shed.

R17 hang out with Dolly??

Jolene and Two Doors Down are the only two songs I’m familiar with.

Her Mountain Angel is perfect for a movie.

The second episode is about a cute gay son in the closet!!

I am loving the Kathleen turner episode

[quote]She quickly reminded everyone she's had a man for decades, and mumbled something about loving all kinds of people.

The thing with Dolly is that she only cares about moving merch. She doesn't want to offend any of her redneck Trump supporters.

Really nice to see Delta Burke again, and in a significant role. Would like to see her on TV more often.

r14 this is Dolly or Julianne you're talking about?

Dolly’s costume while working in the bar in the first episode is offensive. It’s basically a bra. This is too risqué for a woman her age

r22, that's the cynical take. The Dolly Parton's America Podcast has convinced me that her light treading is far more complex.

So Dolly’s just going to be available and affordable for some hillbilly New Year’s Eve Wedding concert?

Am I missing a thread where Heartstrings is discussed in more detail? I LOVED this sappy crap. It was like The Notebook meets Hallmark Christmas movies. The "gay" episode (Two Doors Down) was probably the weakest of them all, while it's one of my favorite Dolly songs. "If I Had Wings" and "Cracker Jack" had me sobbing like a hormonal preteen. It was neat to see long-absent actors/actresses pop up (Camryn Manheim, for example, who was excellent in "Down from Dover"). Kyle Bornheimer is handsome in "These Old Bones." I want more episodes NOW!

I do not think Dolly has the ovaries to be an out lesbian/bisexual woman. Everyone has their faults and I think this is hers. Still love her.

Jolene was very enjoyable! Episode 2 story about the conservative society matron was quite shitty. I don't like Melissa Leo but I felt sorry for her. I few more episodes this awful and I'm out.

No mention of a shirtless Colin O'Donoghue?

I couldn't believe Delta's face. She looks nothing like she did on Designing Women, I actually had to shut it off it depressed me so.

It has a gay storyline too yasss

This has to be one of the gayest things ever written on this site.

Does Dolly have an illness? Botched surgery after 1 too many face lifts? Her left mouth is stuck in a bit of and Elvis grin, and she slurs some words despite her mighty effort to camouflage it.

So far I'm not inspired to give it a try... and I like Dolly.

I stopped watching almost right away.

The joke about the boss overhearing Jolene was so beat.

R35 Actually, I noticed on the CMA she sounded like my grandmother, when she is breaking in a new pair of dentures.

R14 That is actually a pretty common position, among many women, across ages. It does at times seem like the "professional feminists" are just manhaters. So many women just don't identify as feminists.

[quote]She was on The View today and seemed to be confused what 'feminist' meant.

Of course she was — she didn’t at all understand Elizabeth Cady Stanton when she first heard her speak either.

This country is very fucked up right now because of the hatred of women. Spare me the manhater bullshit.

I watched 5 minutes of it, and couldn't take anymore. Lifetime Hallmark movie. I think Netflix spent 500 bucks on it. Something my great grandma might enjoy if drunk.

[quote] she didn’t at all understand Elizabeth Cady Stanton when she first heard her speak either.

Poor dear. Don’t fault her. Elizabeth was a notorious mush mouth especially when she had a bit too much whiskey. (Temperance my aunt Fanny!)

What R41 said.

Without Sandy Gallin, she'd be a forgotten 70s novelty- dueting with Porter Wagoner on jukeboxes.

It was super-tacky and totally Dolly to start the show by plugging Dollywood.

That bitch is ALL about selling.

She starts EVERY episode from Dollywood.

Yes its Hallmark but she makes a point of being super PC "inclusive".

I watched about 5 minutes of the gay episode and turned it off, talk about cheap made for TV crap, this is why i cancelled Netflix.

[quote]Does Dolly have an illness? Botched surgery after 1 too many face lifts? Her left mouth is stuck in a bit of and Elvis grin, and she slurs some words despite her mighty effort to camouflage it.

I noticed that too. The left part of her mouth was puffier than the right, and it didn't move.

It takes a whole lot of money to look this cheap!

OMG, Kathleen Turner...what happened?

Delta Burke is not looking at all like herself.

This is exactly why I cancelled Netflix, though. Cannot stand Hough.

Is Benjamin Lawson related to Helen?

Pretty sappy but some decent eye candy.

I just saw the dog one. Each episode is more craptastic than the previous.

Dolly should sing more blues and r and b. By the way somehow this series has out halmarked the hallmark channel.

Dallas Roberts who played the husband was such a flaming queen the whole episode turned into Modern Family. Jolene I'm begging of ya please don't take my girly-man. Hilarious.

I just saw These Old Bones with Kathleen Turner and I give it 2 thumbs up. Calamity Jane "JJ Sneed" sucked.

Cracker Jack was a sweet story.

I saw the Jolene one last night. Holy shit, the actor playing Kimberly Williams's husband was gay, gay, gay. When they were discussing their lack of a sex life, I kept telling the tv "bitch, he's gay!"

Watching "Jolene" right now and it is so embarrassing to witness. How the fuck did this get made? Juliana Hough is awful.

It’s better than the Cats movie...

On the brightside we almost saw Colin O'Irishname's ass. The boy has some serious bitch-hips, great for clutching while pounding into him. I want to take turns bottoming him and Josh Dallas out.

The casting agent for this should be fired immediately. The husband to Kimberly Willams Paisley is gay from outer space.

Dallas Roberts is flaming in everything except Walk The Line. He’s apparently straight.
