Dirty Sexy Money; Trash or Entertainment?

Dirty Sexy Money is a new show on ABC about a lawyer's attempt to control one of the wealthiest families in New York. Besides being an updated, more mature version of the O.C. with all of the drama, it is a spider web of affairs covered up by sex and lies. Do we really need another television show like this? Can we not be more creative and bring a concept we haven't seen over and over again? As if our materialistic, superficial society isn't twisted enough, we continue to pollute the television shows that are watched by millions with sex, lies and money. I mean, I'm not opposed to edgy entertainment at all, so don't get me wrong, but I just wonder if we even think about the messages we are sending through shows like this. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have an S-Class Mercedes and a 5 million dollar house, and that's ok. We spend too much time focusing our attention on having money and the lavish lifestyle that goes with it, instead of how we can help those around us. My vote= Trash!
