BREEZY'S RECAP:

 I am NOT a Country Fan , mostly because I like very little country music, however I am almost embarrassingly excited about the return of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders which is a show I have watched since its inception. I am also excited to see two new CMT originals; One new and the other in development. Anything interest you on CMT? What will you be watching? Let me know in the comments.
