Bravo is developing a series based onNew York magazine'sback-page feature, The Approval Matrix, according to The New York Observer.

The Matrix, Ben Mathis-Lilley and Emma Rosenblum's unscientific graph, rates pop culture events in terms of how highbrow, lowbrow, brilliant, or despicable they are. The feature's subtitle reads "Our deliberately oversimplified guide to who falls where on our taste hierarchies."

Michael Hirschorn, the man behind VH1's I Love the '80s, will collaborate on the project with New York magazine editor Adam Moss, reports The Observer.
