The N.Y. Times has a column by Ginia Bellafante today about two Deep South reality shows that have cropped up on the tube. There's one about rich people in Texas, and one about good old Southern Boys trying to get the girl in Alabama.
The writer has some very nice things to say about Alabama, somewhat less about Texas. That's all the more reason to forget my displeasure with the Times for this one blog posting and recommend you read the story. Like most things that are created for TV and movies, "Sweet Home Alabama" is full of stereotypes. But at least it's taped in Fairhope, Alabama. The unrelated movie by the same name was almost entirely shot in Georgia.
