Hart of Dixie - Mondays at 9pm

Everything had been going according to plan for Dr. Zoe Hart. Beautiful, privileged and talented, she was on her way to becoming a heart surgeon, just like her father. But when she's told she doesn't have the requisite bedside manner to get an important fellowship -- that she doesn't have the heart to be a heart surgeon -- Zoe's devastated. If she wants to get the fellowship next year, she's going to have to take a job as a general practitioner. So, this lifelong New Yorker takes a chance on an offer by a mysterious admirer -- a southern country doctor -- packs her bags, slips on her stilettos and leaves Manhattan for life on the Gulf Coast.

Welcome to HART OF DIXIE, set in the lovely town of BlueBell, Alabama, where the neighbors take care of one another, the mailman knows your name, there's a parade every Tuesday ... and no one has ever seen the likes of Dr. Zoe Hart. Zoe feels the culture shock of her new surroundings immediately but the real shock comes when she learns that the doctor who invited her to BlueBell has passed away and left her with his half of the medical practice. His old-school partner, Dr. Brick Breeland, is determined to chase her out of town and his daughter, southern belle Lemon Breeland, is only too happy to help.

Zoe makes some allies in town -- former football star turned mayor, Lavon Hayes; 14-year-old insta-fan, Rose Hattenbarger; and handsome lawyer, George Tucker, who's been to New York and whose confident smile makes Zoe blush. However, after she makes a big mistake as a small town doctor, fights with her sexy, bad boy neighbor, has a run-in with an alligator and finds out that George is engaged to her new nemesis, the syrupy sweet Lemon Breeland, Zoe decides to hightail it back to New York. But, in the South, things aren't always what they seem and Zoe discovers more than one reason to stick around, including that her father's footsteps may not have been the right ones to follow. Dr. Zoe Hart just might find she belongs more in this town than she ever could have imagined.

Rachel Bilson (The O.C.) leads a stellar ensemble cast in this fish-out-of-water comedic drama about small-town living, big-city attitudes and complicated love triangles. HART OF DIXIE -- it's where you want to be.

Episode #1 – “Pilot”

Everything had been going according to plan for fast-talking New Yorker Zoe Hart. Beautiful, privileged and talented, she was on her way to becoming a heart surgeon, just like her father. But when she’s told she doesn’t have the requisite bedside manner to get an important fellowship she was counting on getting — that she doesn’t have the heart to be a heart surgeon — Zoe’s devastated. Desperate, she decides to finally accept the offer of a kindly stranger, Dr. Harley Wilkes, whom she met at her medical school graduation, and who had proposed she join his small medical practice in Bluebell, Alabama.

When Zoe arrives in quaint, picturesque Bluebell, she is instantly befriended by a handsome lawyer — and the town’s golden boy — George Tucker. George is excited to discover that Zoe is from New York, where he lived for several years before returning to his hometown. Zoe is encouraged after meeting this true southern gentleman, but her mood quickly turns dark when she arrives at the doctor’s office to discover that Dr. Wilkes has passed away — and that he has inexplicably left his practice to her.

Complicating matters further, Zoe finds that the practice is shared with the other local doctor, Brick Breeland, an imposing figure who isn’t pleased to share the practice with anyone, let alone an outsider from New York City. Equally displeased by Zoe’s presence is Brick’s daughter, Lemon, a sweet southern belle whose disposition turns sour when it comes to Zoe. Lemon relishes her position as part of one of Bluebell’s most prominent families — and, most off-putting for Zoe, as George Tucker’s fiancée.

Zoe finds a place to live in a guest house on the property of Bluebell’s mayor, Lavon Hayes. Lavon is a former NFL star who takes a liking to Zoe and quickly becomes her confidante. Zoe’s new neighbors include local bad-boy Wade Kinsella, a mischievous charmer who sets off sparks with Zoe.
