Hart of Dixie (4 seasons -- starting in 2011 -- on the CW) was about big city doctor Zooey "Hart" (Rachel Bilson) who accepts a job from a stranger who subsequently dies and leaves his half of a rural Alabama practice to her. She has to fight for her place within the practice with the other partner: a crotchety Doc played by -- you guessed it -- Matheson. Slow crotchety acceptance ensues.

Both quite sappy. But Virgin River is slightly more murdery, where Hart of Dixie was more musical. Both an ensemble, Northern Exposure-type venture in my opinion. I enjoy large ensemble casts.
Ah, thanks for that, DD. VR sounds like something I might like but I daresay I could never get Mr. Hitch to watch either. Ensemble-sort-of-soapy stuff is his bete noire. :-) Thanks though! I truly appreciate it.
