THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The Beverly Hillbillies is making a comeback as a CBS reality series. The network is developing Real Beverly Hillbillies, a half-hour show that follows a rural, lower-middle class family as they are transplanted from their humble abode to a tony Beverly Hills mansion, Variety reports. Casting is expected to get underway soon. "It's a great fish-out-of-water story," says CBS exec Ghen Maynard. "A lot of it will be funny, but a lot of it will be real. We want to find a family that's different from what most people know but still relatable, a family that loves each other a lot." Sounds like another Osbournes clone to us.
