Twenty-three-year-old Megan Smith (JoAnna Garcia, "Reba") has a Yale education, a relentlessly positive attitude and a plan to conquer the world of journalism, despite the fact that she is currently slaving away at a tabloid rag. Megan's plan is thrown off course when, in one whirlwind day, she gets fired, meets cosmetics mogul Laurel Limoges (Anne Archer) and becomes the live-in tutor for Laurel's twin teen granddaughters in the heady Palm Beach world of wealth and power.

The girls, Rose (Lucy Kate Hale, "Bionic Woman") and Sage (Ashley Newbrough, "The Best Years"), are beautiful, rebellious and less-than-thrilled with their new tutor, but Megan is determined to win them over as she enjoys the perks of her new job - breathtaking private suite, gorgeous convertible and live-in chef Marco (Allan Louis, "Stomp the Yard").
Even the neighbors are fabulous in Palm Beach, and Megan quickly catches the eye of Will (Brian Hallisay), the wealthy and extremely hot dilettante who lives on the estate next door and just happens to be dating Megan's estranged sister Lily (Kristina Apgar). Completing this romantic quadrangle is Megan's best friend Charlie (Michael Cassidy, "Smallville," "The O.C."), who is secretly in love with her. Despite her own complicated romantic and family relationships, Megan is committed to making a difference in the lives of her two headstrong charges as she navigates the treacherous waters of high society in Palm Beach.

Privileged is based on the Alloy Entertainment book "How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls" by best-selling author Zoey Dean ("The A-List"). The series is from Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Paramount Network Television with executive producers Rina Mimoun ("Gilmore Girls," "Everwood"), Bob Levy ("Gossip Girl") and Leslie Morgenstein ("Gossip Girl," "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"). Michael Engler ("30 Rock") directed the pilot.

I must admit that Zoey Dean's the A-List series are a guilty pleasure of mine. I hope that this show will do well and I'm excited to see what happens, although it seems as if the plot would work better as a B-list movie. I just hope that it go down the drain, the way some shows have done on the CW, like last season's Hidden Palms.

whoa. didn't even know this show existed.

gossip girl much?

thanks for the info. I'll definitely check it out. the only thing I don't like about American series is that everyone has sex with everyone, and that's rather unappealing.

I'm watching this right now...I think it definitely appeals to an older crowd, because of the main character's age and point of views.

As for whether this show will make it... I hope it does! imo it is a breath of fresh air for its smart, charismatic lead character. Although, who knows with all of the trash teenagers are watching on mtv...(I am only 20 tho!)

I absolutely adore Roses' (one of the sisters) young and naive personality! Plus its great that I can relate to the main character's drive to succeed!

Hope I don't sound so 'old'! lol
 
I watched it last night as well. Joanna Garcia's character (Meghan) is so cuuuuuute! Sage is very annoying though. Her sister Rose is a much more sympathetic character.

I hope the show makes it too. :)
 
this is a really good show.
i hope it lasts.
as for charlie ... isn't he gorge?
he also played the brother of Lex Luthor on Smallville.
 
I'm totally and utterly in love with this show! It's so refreshingly nice and sweet. I adore Megan and I'm kinda in love with Will! Also love: Marco, Rose, Charlie. I like Laurel and Sage, but they can get annoying sometimes.
