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 just picked up this book for a quick pre-summer read -- it's only 293 pages. So I'll be interested to see how closely they follow the book for establishing the characters and basic plot. I'm wondering who has been cast as the grandmother of the twin heiresses.
1I'm interested to see how they explain all the changes. Like the mere fact that her entire world was in the North and somehow some of it has been transplanted with her down to Florida. Hmm, I loved the book and so far I like what I'm seeing here though.
2The actresses for the twins aren't at all appealing. But I'm impressed that someone finally thinks it's okay to have a show where the actresses are all brunettes: usually they make the actresses dye their hair so everyone has a different hair colour and no one gets confused (think Buffy, where Sarah Michelle had to be blonde--tried to go darker and was told no, Alyson Hannigan had the red hair and Cordelia with the dark).
3noo! i love joanna as a blonde. i mean, she is still beautiful with brown hair; but, she was radiant as a blonde! i will definitely watch this show because im a hige fan if hers thanks to Reba, but I will miss "cheyanne [hart] montgomery."
4I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll go get the book on amazon so I have something to read once school is over.
5I did like Joanna Garcia on Reba.
I think I am going to get the book and read it this summer... along with the million other books I want to read but don't get to during the school year b/c of ... well school lol
I'm really excited to hear that Joanna is on this show! I loved her on Reba!
6I'll check this out when it comes on tv; it has potential.
7I hadn't read the book but i had the chance to watch the full episode as part of a "test audience" and I have to say that I enjoyed it more than I like Gossip Girl and I'm an avid GG watcher. Yes the "bad" twin is annoying but I just took it to mean she's a good actress because she's supposed to be the bad twin. I'm looking forward to seeing where the show goes.
