Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta (TLC)

Like its mother show set in New York, SAY YES TO THE DRESS: ATLANTA is about buying a wedding gown -- a very special item for a very special day. It's a process fraught with angst and joy and all the emotional craziness that goes along with a wedding, including strife among family members, who don't always get along -- and who certainly don't mince words. One the edges of all the action are the employees of Bridals by Lori, one of the South's best-regarded bridal salons.

The show is done well, but in and of itself, the wedding dress-shopping process just isn't that interesting (unelss perhaps you're a bride-to-be yourself). The show focuses on the young women's struggles to find just the right dress, balancing that with commentary from friends, sisters, moms, and grandmothers.  While the salon employees are featured, they're not much of a presence (although in one satisfying scene, an employee does help a bride get an appropriate choice past a particularly picky grandmother). But the personalities involved just aren't that involving for the non-wedding obsessed.
