“Dixie Melodie” takes us on a street car ride through the daily trials and tribulations of Melodie, a young woman from New Jersey, who moves to New Orleans in hopes to jump start her life. The main action enfolds in a boarding house into which Melodie finds residence and at the offices of a local magazine where she is employed as a feature writer. She is surrounded by a variety of colorful characters, likewise, all in a state of renewing themselves - all searching for the beauty in the mud, so to speak.

More than a sitcom, “Dixie Melodie” is a “peoplecom”; it is a character driven show rather than situational.

After all, New Orleans has always been about the celebration of life; it is in the music, the food, and most importantly, in the people. That’s also what Mardi Gras is all about - as we know, Carnival derives its roots from the Latin words carne vale, meaning “farewell to the flesh.” - it celebrates the death of winter and the rebirth of nature, or Spring, ultimately recommitting the individual, to the spiritual and social codes of the culture.
