That New York Times article is great.

Personally my favorite part is the boy and the dog. Watching him push the chihuahua down the silde and then taking it to meet some cows was hilarious.

All the while the chihuahua was shaking with it's tail between its legs. Poor dog, must have wondered where its penthouse was. But all was returned to normal when the boy fed it some cheese.

Over all the show runs in the same vien as MTV'S Rich Girls and Newlyweds with Jessica Simpson.

It's the "let's watch wealthy, spoiled, somewhat ditsy girls (perferably blondes) try to deal with life's little chores" era of television.

Yes it can be entertaining, yes it's a guilty plesearue, but after a while you just want to go take a shower....and then read some Edith Wharton or, better yet Jane Austen (one of her books did inspire "Clueless" a movie about a wealthy, spoiled, somewhat ditsy blonde).
