Feuds of the Week

The newcomer, NYC Prep, a reality show about the lives of privileged Manhattan teens, has also come out of the gates strong. It features a cast that's everything you hope your kids aren't or never will be. If the "stars" aren't perfecting their unintentionally hilarious impression of how they think adults behave, they talk about how their life as a genetics CEO is planned out, how they much prefer cupcakes to ordinary cake, or how, if you go to the right society parties, you can hook up with anywhere between 2 and 16 people per month. Really, it's gripping television.

The Verdict: I'm hesitant to go against the wily veteran, but through two episodes, NYC Prep takes it. If for no other reason than the Bravo show will instantly make you feel better about yourself and your own friends, the show comes out on top.
