CineStars' Noah Coslov and I break down the premiere episode of the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" (Kim Zolciak bombed!), talk about Seth MacFarlane's upcoming symphony show in Atlanta and three new TV productions in Atlanta featuring (respectively) Rickey Smiley, Brandy and megachurches. I did err in my video comments: the megachurch drama on OWN will be shot here but set in Memphis, not Atlanta.
