Community rename?

Anne Archer has been tapped to co-star on the CW network's new drama series "Privileged."

The project, formerly known as "Surviving the Filthy Rich" and "How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls," centers on Megan (Joanna Garcia), a Yale-educated woman who is hired to be the live-in tutor/life coach to two rich 16-year-old twin girls (Lucy Hale, Ashley Newbrough) in Palm Beach.

On the Warner Bros. TV/Alloy Entertainment show, Archer will play Laurel Limoges, a wealthy widow who is raising her twin granddaughters after their parents were killed in a plane crash. She replaces Marsha Mason, who played the role in the pilot.

"Privileged," executive produced by writer Rina Mimoun, Leslie Morgenstein and Bob Levy, is slated to air Tuesdays 9 p.m. in the fall.

The Oscar-nominated Archer, who has recurred on CBS' "Ghost Whisperer" as Beth Gordon, Melinda's (Jennifer Love Hewitt) mom, is repped by APA and Kritzer/Levine/Wilkins Entertainment.

The CW is basing 'Surviving the Filthy Rich' in Palm Beach – it's just not filmed there
The CW is basing another girl-centric series in Palm Beach — just don't look for any camera crews. They'll be on the other coast.
Tom Jicha | TV and Radio Writer

The rapid, emphatic rejection of Cane isn't being held against Palm Beach. The CW is coming right back to Palm Beach as the setting for a new fall series, Surviving the Filthy Rich. As the title suggests, the series is not going to be a wet kiss on the lips of the swells who live along A1A and shop Worth Avenue.

The drama, which revolves around a young woman who loses her job at a New York magazine and rebounds into a position as a live-in tutor/life coach for a couple of spoiled teenagers, will be Palm Beach-set in the pages of its script only. All shooting, save for some exteriors filmed by second units, will be done in California, starting in mid-July — assuming the Screen Actors Guild doesn't strike on June 30.

This also was the case with Cane and Silk Stalkings, other series based in Palm Beach. It's the industry norm in tight budget times. (Frost spends more days in Miami-Dade than CSI: Miami.)

Palm Beach can thank Zoey Dean for the attention. The series is based on her book, How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls, which was set in Palm Beach. The title was altered slightly but changing the location was never a consideration, according to Leslie Morgenstein, executive producer of the series.

If nothing else, Palm Beach offers geographical balance to the CW's youth-driven lineup. Gossip Girl, a breakout hit by CW standards, is set in New York. The remake of Beverly Hills, 90210, the centerpiece of next season's game plan, will be shot on location in California. Given that mansions will figure prominently in both Surviving the Filthy Rich and 90210, location directors will have to be careful not to use the same homes.

The Palm Beach setting, even if in name only, offers other advantages, according to Morgenstein, whose South Florida frames of reference are limited to visits to relatives in Fort Lauderdale and Miami when he was growing up.

"Palm Beach is aspirational, a fantastic world. There's Palm Beach society and the balls. It's a great place but out of reach for most. Because it's exclusive, there's an air of mystery about it."

One other thing: "It's hot there," Morgenstein said. He didn't say it, but that's hot as in bikini weather. Ashley Newbrough and Lucy Hale, who play the 16-year-olds, will be 20 and 19, respectively, when the show debuts in September. Joanna Garcia, best known as the daughter on Reba, is 29. None are tough to look at and they surely will have friends in the same demographic.

Garcia's character, Megan Smith, grew up in Fort Lauderdale dreaming of becoming a journalist. She left for Yale, then after graduation landed a magazine job in New York City. When she gets her notice there, she needs something else. "She was resisting coming home but this seemed like the job of a lifetime," Morgenstein said, describing the set-up for the series.

The CW has given Surviving the Filthy Rich a plum time period, the hour coming out of 90210.

"We believe this show is extremely compatible with the young females who we hope will flock to 90210," CW Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff said. "It's the aspirational story of a young woman in her early 20s, whose life has taken a sharp turn and promises to be exciting. The two programs will share a tone and vision emblematic of the CW's focused pursuit of women 18-34."

At the same time, there's enough of a difference between the two series that they won't seem like carbon copies, Morgenstein says. "Beverly Hills, 90210 is high school based. Surviving the Filthy Rich is primarily about a twentysomething." The teens Megan are shepherding are important, but "she's the center of the series."

The seemingly advantageous time period is a double-edged sword. If the 90210 remake performs as the CW hopes, it will deliver a sizable compatible lead-in to Surviving the Filthy Rich. But the Palm Beach show can't afford to lose too many of those viewers or it will be cut down like Cane.

Hey, everyone!

I finally updated the layout since we have decent HQ promos now. :) Check it out and let me know what you think.

Also, I made two icons, very basic, from the layout that you can use if you'd like. I'm sure I'll be making more over the weekend.



Please credit inretrospect if you use.

It won't embed, so here's a link to the second trailer. It looks a little better than the first.

Trailer 2

I haven't seen this before!

Given that 90210 hasn't even cast its father yet, it's safe to say it'll be a while before we see clips of that show. But in the meantime, we can at least check out another one of the CW's new shows about the wealthy and powerful: Surviving the Filthy Rich.

The show centers on Megan, a 23-year-old Ivy League graduate — played by JoAnna Garcia, who recently appeared in Reba and thus is no stranger to the CW — who gets fired from her magazine job and becomes a live-in tutor to the twin granddaughters of a cosmetics mogul. I'm sure the girls will deliver their share of sass, but Megan has other things to deal with, too — namely that her best friend is in love with her, and her hot neighbor is dating her estranged sister.

This is the CW's second shot in two years at adapting something from a book, and just as with Gossip Girl, I'm curious to see how the book's fans react to the show. To check out some clips, just read more.

I know we don't have many workable pics for "Surviving the Filthy Rich", yet. But if you're making icons for StFR, or any other CW show, go over to thecwicons. A new community I set up for icons for ANY CW show, past and present. :)

CW announced at the CW Upfronts that Surviving the Filthy Rich will be on the Fall 2008 schedule. It will air Tuesdays @ 9EST.

Megan Smith is played by Joanna Garcia (of 'Reba' fame).

Layout's been updated. Let me know what you think. I'm not sold on the background, but it's the fourth different background I've tried.

<3

TV.com has a page for "Filthy Rich Girls" now!

TV.com - Filthy Rich Girls

IMDB has a page up for "Filthy Rich Girls" now! Nothing's on it (unless you have a paid account, which I don't). Check it out, anyway:

Filthy Rich Girls (IMDB)

I fixed the profile page so it's now pretty. &the layout's been updated until we can get a picture up. I'm probably going to try and find a generic picture, unless anyone has suggestions for a header, then I'd be glad to use them.

Thanks!

CW Cuts Comedy Division; Plans Gossip Girl-esque Show

There is a disturbing trend manifesting itself in TV. And I mean, besides loathsome, unsubstantial, and generally annoying reality TV. The trend is taking chick-lit and adapting it for TV. This was done, successfully, with Gossip Girl. On its heels comes a new show for the CW, How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls, a book by Zoey Dean. My distaste right now is amplified by two notes that I will disclose.

The first reason is personal - I had a painful time at the dentist today, the likes of which I suspect I could write a horror movie based upon. (I now have a Waterpik, which is kind of fun… Waterpik - Family Dental Water Jet /QuickBreeze - Dental Irrigator ) The second reason is the fact that the CW is eliminating their comedy department, according to hollywoodreporter.com. They will be focusing on reality TV and their one-hour dramas. For fans of Reaper or Aliens in America - I’m sorry. Things don’t look good for these already established shows. Although, to be honest, I never really got on board with either of those shows.

But the idea of giving up on trying to create comedies and fill up weekday nights with more shows like Crowned makes my skin crawl. I am a fan of Project Runway, which is a reality show. I have also watched a lot of America’s Next Top Model, although I feel that show is dwindling in appeal.

The idea of ‘rich girls/teens/people’ is being used as this ‘innovative’ idea to grab the attention of (mostly) teenage girls. And maybe it works. I’ve never seen an episode of The Hills or Laguna Beach but they certainly seem popular.

I know that Gossip Girl is popular. While I personally do not like Gossip Girl, I understand why others might. And of course there was that show based on Tommy Hilfiger’s daughter, Ally called Rich Girls. And Kim Kardashian, who is another celeb who is ‘famous’ just for being ‘famous’ has some TV show about her rich life. While this concept has sometimes been interesting (though, way more interesting with movies like Legally Blonde, Mean Girls and Clueless ) if we keep getting the same premise, slightly reworked (i.e. The Simple Life - which I did enjoy sometimes) - how is that going to be interesting?

Mostly I am disappointed at this shift towards using chick lit books as the basis for TV shows. Original, scripted TV shows seem to be an ‘old’ idea, not worth doing. They are becoming increasingly rare every year.

So, will How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls be any good? I don’t know. Maybe it will. I doubt it, though. I miss the days of quality teen shows that were on the WB, like Dawson’s Creek, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Felicity.
