Watch out for; Beverly Hills NanniesThe clever conceit behind Beverly Hills Nannies -- aside from the sitcom-like title -- is the show isn’t really about nannies at all, but rather the "insane requests” they field from wealthy parents in exchange for $40 an hour.

As such, the show yields its share of tittering and head-shaking moments, while representing ABC Family’s tilt into territory generally associated with Bravo or TLC. Of course, ‘Beverly Hills’ is basically a state of mind, so the show (which features one family several zip codes away in Malibu) is really about implying money and celebrity, despite surfing the shallow end of the name-recognition gene pool.
