Television Fall 2008 Series Previews Part 2

Next up are the CW and ABC

The CW
Surviving the Filthy Rich
The show centers on Megan, a 23-year-old Ivy League graduate who gets fired from her magazine job and becomes a live-in tutor to the twin granddaughters of a cosmetics mogul. (Buzz Sugar)
Starring: Ashley Newbrough, JoAnna Garcia and Lucy Kate Hale

Comments: Why do sisters that rich share a bedroom? This looks mindless and without substance. I don't think anyone could pay me to watch this show. To think they canceled Veronica Mars and passed on VM Future only to bring the viewers shallow drivel like this.

Stylista (Game/Reality)

Comments: Didn't watch. This genre falls below sitcoms on my watch list.

There doesn't seem to be a trailer for the NEW 90210 series.

ABC
Opportunity Knocks (Game/Reality)
A mobile team heads to Anytown, America to give away big prizes to a chosen family while quizzing them on how well they know each other.

Comments: Ick

Life on Mars
Sam Tyler, a modern-day police detective who, after a car crash, mysteriously finds himself transported back to 1973 and still working as a detective. Based on the BBC series.
Starring: Jason O' Mara as Sam Tyler, Rachelle LeFevre as Annie Cartwright, Colm Meaney as Gene Hunt, Stephanie Jacobsen as Maya, Lenny Clarke as George Randall, Patrick Wenk-Wolff as Colin Raimes and Richard Benjamin as Milton Kornboll.

Comments: No John Simm. I really don't like watching the same scenes with different people while lacking the charisma of JS and Philip Glenister. I'll pass.

The Goode Family (Midseason)
An animated TV program that revolves around a family obsessed with doing the "right" thing environmentally, politically and socially. (IMDB)


Comments: Not a true preview clip but this bored me to death. If it was meant to interest me it didn't. The animation stills look horrid and the characters unrelatable.
