Familiarity breeds… familiarity

Once again, we confirm that there are very few new ideas in Hollywood, only guaranteed, revenue generating variations on a theme. With the success of The CW’s Gossip Girl, the network has midwifed yet another project from the same publishing house… How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls. This time a college-educated woman is hired by a wealthy family to tutor their teenage dimwit daughters. Haven’t we already seen five seasons of this when it was called The Simple Life? Ah, the 2008-09 season is already shaping up to be a shining example of quality entertainment.
