''[[Hart Ofof Dixie]]'' is a 2011 television series airing on [[The CW]], starring Rachel Bilson of ''[[The OC]]'' fame.
 
Zoe Hart is a young, aggressive and driven New York female surgeon who seems to have it all.... and loses it really fast, when her doctor boyfriend of six years dumps her for being a workaholic and she doesn't get a cardiothoracic fellowship, which she finds out she'll have to work for a year as a general practice doctor to get.
Line 6:
She decides to take on the offer of an Alabama practice doctor, Harley Wilkes, who for some reason kept on trying to get her to work at his practice, and travels all the way to Bluebell, the town he hailed from, where she finds herself a bit uncomfortable...

----
=== This series provides examples of the following tropes: ===
 
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Zoe treats Wade like one.
* [[The Ace]]: {{spoiler|Jesse for Wade}}.
Line 14 ⟶ 12:
* [[Beauty Contest]]: Lemon and Zoe push Magnolia and Rose to compete against each other in one in "Hairdos & Holidays".
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Zoe and Wade qualify as this, especially since Wade refuses to fix the generator they share because he doesn't want to stop arguing with her. Lavon points this out to Wade.
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: Lemon is torn between her longtime fiance George (Betty) and Lavon (Veronica), the man she had an affair with and is still attracted to.
** Zoe is also torn between her crush, the respectable lawyer George (Betty) and the hot guy next door, Wade (Veronica).
* [[Black Best Friend]]: Lavon is this to Zoe. Addie also probably counts.
* [[Brainy Brunette]]: Brunette Zoe is an ambitious surgeon.
* [[Brother Chuck]]: Nancy Travis' character disappears after episode 2, probably because of her role in ''[[Last Man Standing (graphic novel)|Last Man Standing]]''.
* [[Celebrity Paradox]]: In an episode, a visiting friend of Zoe's says 'It's gonna be like ''[[Friday Night Lights]]'', but without the sad parts'. Scott Porter (George) played Jason Street in that show.
* [[Family Theme Naming]]: ''Lemon'', ''Magnolia'' and ''Brick'' Breeland.
* [[First Episode Spoiler]]: Repeated ad nauseam in the [["Previously On..."]] montage {{spoiler|Harvey Wilkes was Zoe's biological father}}.
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: The premise of the show.
* [[Gypsy Curse]]: Some of the women of Bluebell believe they are under a gypsy curse not to have children until after Lemon marries. She later releases them from the curse.
* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Guy!]]: Looks like Summer went into the family business.
** [[Veronica Mars|Wallace's dad]] is the mayor.
* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Every episode is named 'Thing & Thing', usually with a rhyme or alliteration. Examples are ''Hairdos & Holidays'', ''Homecoming & Coming Home'', ''The Undead & The Unsaid''...
* [[Little Black Dress]]: Zoe wears when she goes to see Wade in "In Havoc & In Heat".
* {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father|Zoe, He Was Your Father]]}}: the true reason Harley wanted Zoe to take over his part of the clinic.
* [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: Lemon. She is definitely the queen bee of her group of friends, but they adore her.
* [[Love Triangle]]: George, Lemon and Lavon. Kind of subverted because George is oblivious to Lemon and Lavon.
Line 35 ⟶ 33:
