Angelus2
Megan Smith is given the responsibility of tutoring two spoilt brats, by their rich Grandmother. And course she has to deal with matters of the heart.I was first pulled in by the beautiful Miss Garcia, and was smitten by her bubble nature, her caring character, but soon as the twins entered...I decided to stop watching. The show is nothing but dribble, some crying here...some crying there...some fame hunting there...and then some crying again. The whole romance thing can only hold a show for so long, interesting characters need to be created to hold it together, something this show ignores.

I find it amazing that CW would not have canceled this bad show after a few episodes.It's superficial, poorly acted, poorly written and nobody watches it! This show is a bad copy of Gossip Girl (itself a horrible show that nobody watches).CW is in dire straights if this is the best they can come up with as watching a test pattern would actually be less painful.Apparently, there isn't enough line in my comments, but how many different ways do I need to say that this show is abominable and that CW is completely off-base if it thinks it will attract people like me by programming awful shows like this one.

I've tuned in since the pilot episode on this but I can't say whether or not I'll stay with this show. Joanna Garcia is charming and mercurial in the protagonist's role of Megan Smith (kind of like a brunette Meg Ryan) and Anne Archer does her role as the icy, aloof queen of a cosmetics empire and grandmother to 2 spoiled grand-daughters justice. The only problem is that the rest of the characters are little cartoon-ish and 2 dimensional, which is a shame considering the talent they have on board. Megan's sister Lily (Kristin Apgar, a Gwyneth Paltrow-ish looking gal) is portrayed as being way too coarse and common so even if there is sympathy to be had for her character, you just don't like her enough to care. The spoiled "twins", Rose and Sage (Ashley Newborough and Lucy Hale) are another story; Rose is so naive and dippy you wonder if she can tie her own shoes. Sage, her twin, on the other hand, is just plain mean and manipulative. Someone else mentioned that it's hard to like the characters and I sort of get that. The men in the show are wasted because they have very little to do. Maybe the show just needs a chance to get going to find it's way. I hope so.

Being a teen-aged girl I LOVE shows like this with some teenage drama and 'high society' life and parties....like Gossip Girl and 90210. How weird is it that they all seem to be on 1 network? The CW! This shows stars Joanna Garcia (from REBA {& i'm a huge REBA fan})as a 20 something year old girl who moves from New York to Palm Beach and gets a job as a tutor for the Baker sisters. The whole tutor thing is possibly the only new idea on the CW these days.These girls, or should i say Sage, are spoilt and filthy rich. Big surprise that their grades suck?...Hm...NO! The show (or should i say the pilot) gives us an introduction to the life of the tutor trying to get these girls to learn their work...and all the drama that's in their life.I think the part that stood out of this whole episode was the photo shoot and possibly because that's why Sage got all pisssy and catty at the charity ball.Honestly I don't recommend this show unless you have time to waste after you watch 90210...but I gave it 6 anyway for trying. It's doesn't live up to standards of Gossip Girl or the NEW 90210, but it doesn't fall hard and fast.
