CBS Relaunches BEVERLY HILLBILLIES As A Reality Series!!

I am – Hercules!!

Real critters by a real ce-ment pond!

According to Wednesday morning’s Daily Variety:

CBS will begin casting shortly for a weekly half-hour series that will follow the adventures of a rural, lower-middle class family as they are transplanted from their humble digs to an actual Beverly Hills mansion.

During their one-year stay in California, they'll be afforded a wide variety of luxuries they'd normally be unable to afford, from maid service to personal assistants. They'll also have a chance to earn a substantial income each week, either via a stipend or through some other means.

I liked this idea the first time I heard about it – when it was called “The Anna Nicole Show”!

Read Josef Adalian’s entire piece for Variety here.

I am – Hercules!!
