I suffered through the two hour pilot episode of Beverly Hills 90210 remake. Only thing I liked about it was the song from Cold Play, that should tell you something

On the other hand, I was truly taken by, smitten with, got a crush on "privileged". From the beginning. Just look at the prologue and tell me if you don't start laughing your behind off with that specific scene (not spoiling just in case you'll check it out).

The critics were as surprised as the few people who actually tuned in. It's light, it's funny and so much more realistic than 90210. Not to mention, the actors can act. I know not being able to act is not such a problem these days, look at Secret life of An American Teenager (I still weep for Molly Ringwald, I mean come on from Pretty in Pink to the worst TV ever, that's just unsanitary ).

So while the CW still has not giving Privileged a full season pick up, it has ordered a few more scripts. And Apparently, the ratings are improving while 90210's are dropping. (Anyone surprised?). Cause people like me and the critics are shouting watch this show, it's good. And It is.
It's actually pretty much my new favorite. And considering Greek will go on hiatus next week, I need a good teen show. Plus Joanne Garcia is hilarious

So, guys, when the winter break kicks in and if you find yourself without a show, I would advise to try Privileged out. Or you could try check it out tonight, it's on with a new episode.

Oh and the first title was more accurate : it was "surviving the filthy rich" as the main character needs to survive her filthy rich pupils

Uh oh, they can't act? Is the story good enough so they can learn on screen or not really?

You haven't seen secret life of the american teenager to ask me that question :p
No the stories aren't good either. It's a pity that such a bad show is being such a hit.
