Gossip Girls Made Good Privileged The CW, Tuesdays, 9 p.m.

Stars: JoAnna Garcia (Reba), Anne Archer (Fatal Attraction), Lucy Kate Hale, Ashley Newbrough

The premise: After getting canned from her job as a New York tabloid journalist, librarian-hot Yale grad Megan Smith (Garcia) moves home to Florida to tutor snobby Palm Beach heiresses Sage and Rose Baker (Newbrough and Hale). If Megan helps the girls get good enough grades to get into Duke, their grandmother, Laurel (Archer), will pay off all her student loans.

They say: "Not all kids in high school are drinking scotch at two in the afternoon and sleeping with 17 guys a day," says executive producer Rina Mimoun (Everwood). "Our show is a reality check. We're trying to move forward and keep our panties on at the same time."

We say: Gilmore Girls fans will dig the whip-smart dialogue and literary references. (Jay Gatsby? Total closet case!) Still, the writers try too hard to develop Megan as a lovable, accident-prone nerd. Her penchant for saying "Okey-dokey" needs to go.
