8/24/10 Congrats comment #26 – TXSunLover
MEMPHIS BEAT was created by Liz W. Garcia (Cold Case) and Joshua Harto (The Dark Knight), who also wrote the first two episodes. Harto, who grew up in the South and has spent a lot of time with his country-musician grandfather, sees the show’s setting as a chance to spotlight one of America’s great cities. “Memphis has been largely forgotten in film and TV today,” he says. “It’s where the blues and Johnny Cash and Elvis came from. It’s where Martin Luther King was assassinated and where Isaac Hayes and Aretha Franklin were born and raised. It’s the perfect blend of drama and humor for our show.” Music is just as vital to MEMPHIS BEAT as its unique characters, drama and humor is the music. “Music is a huge part of this show,” Garcia says. “It has to be. You can’t live in Memphis and not have your life steeped in music. The city has a soundtrack.” To get that perfect Memphis feel, the production team approached noted blues singer/songwriter Keb’ Mo’. He will provide original compositions and performances for the show to supplement classic Memphis tracks. MEMPHIS BEAT is executive-produced by Clooney, Heslov, Garcia, Harto, John Fortenberry (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) and Scott Kaufer (Boston Legal). Sean Whitesell (House M.D.) and Smokehouse Pictures’ Abby Wolf-Weiss are co-executive producers. The pilot was directed and executive-produced by Emmy nominee Clark Johnson (The Shield). Harto and Garcia are a husband-and-wife team. Harto is also an actor.

My favorite things about Memphis Beat are the great music and DJ Qualls. He's the reason we checked it out in the first place and now we are hooked on that show.
Thanks for the chance to win!

I like that it is a show set in a city that we can relate more to versus shows that are set in much larger cities such as LA and New York.

When I think about Memphis I think about elvis and great food thanks for the chance eaglesforjack@gmail.com
I like the music on the show a lot. I also like the good ole southern feel of the show and the characters. I like the way the little scrawny guy is accepted as part of the group. Could go on; I like the show. It really captures the feel of Memphis from what I remember from my one visit several years ago.
