1) “Drop Dead Diva”

We say, “A surprise hit for the Lifetime Network, this little comedy/drama has a big heart, smart writing and a breakout star in the irresistible Bro0ke Elliot, who is marvelous as the petite blond trapped in the body of a pleasantly plump lawyer.”

2) “I’ll Fly Away”

3) “Good Eats”

4) “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”

5) “In the Heat of the Night”

I like it when they shot an episode of “House Hunters” HGTV in Atlanta.
I like it when they profile a certain area and say it is 10 min from Atlanta and we know it’s not. OR when they show a young person touring a 1920’s bungalow and they buyers say’s, “the closets are small.”
*blank stare at the camera.

Let’s not forget Tyler Perry and his television shows and movies. Great Atlanta exposure.

NY is the Hollywood of the east. Quit making stuff up because a couple of TV shows are made here.

“This is Atlanta with Alicia Steel” features an amazing, colorful, beautifully shot and crisply edited look at the city — on PBA 30.

Drop Dead Diva without a doubt… I believe it’s filmed in Peachtree City but they could film anywhere, that show always puts a smile on my face. Glad they’ve been picked up for a second season.

Remember all the old movies like “Smokey and the Bandit!”, “My Cousin Vinny”, “Fried Green Tomatoes” and “Return to Macon County.” All which were filmed in Georgia!

Squidbillies has been great this season, and let’s not forget Aqua Teen Hunger Force, another Atlanta-produced TV Show. If we are talking all time, then we have to throw in The Brak Show and Sealab 2021 and my all-time favorite, Perfect Hair Forever!

Alton Brown’s “Good Eats” is not only the best, but the most intelligent.

I love DDD! RHOA is entertaining too but last year was better… It’s almost like the ladies are trying to create drama for ratings. The show seems so staged. It seemed more genuine last year… Any hoot! DDD is my favorite!
