TV Tonight: The Dirty, or Filthy Rich, South

BRAVO

Tonight, Bravo expands its people-who-are-richer-than-you empire with The Real Housewives of Atlanta (9 p.m. E.T.).

From my casual viewing of the first episode, you will probably have roughly the same use for it that you do for the Orange County and New York City versions, the differences being (1) you can play a drinking game based on the number of uses of "Hotlanta" and (2) several of the Housewives are African American, proving that in the great country, the ostentatious display of wealth knows no color. Truly, it does one's heart good.
