The new show for Wednesday night is Dirty, Sexy Money. The main character Nick George's father is the lawyer for a wealthy New York City family, the Darlings. Nick George (Peter Krause) is offered the job after his father's sudden death from a plane accident. The Darling family consists of Tripp Darling (Donald Sutherland), Letitia Darling (Jill Clayburgh) and their three sons Patrick (William Baldwin), Brian (Glenn Fitzgerald), Jeremy (Seth Gabel) and two daughters Karen (Natalie Zea) & Juliet (Samaire Armstrong).
Nick was originally a pro bono lawyer (you know a real do-gooder) and worked for the bare minimum amount of money. He absolutely hates the Darling family and everything they stand for. Nick could not get into the church for his own father's funeral because of all the press! How messed up is that?!? It was only because Tripp offered Nick $10 million a year charity money for Nick to donate were he wishes that Nick took the job as the family lawyer.
We find out that the Darling family are one f-ed up bunch of people. Patrick is thinking about running for Senate but he has a little problem with a "tranny hooker" that he is in love with. He tried to break it off with him/her but he was hypnotized in his/her tranny web and never broke things off. I tell you when that showed that woman I thought she was gorgeous but I knew something was off. It was confirmed when she opened her mouth and had the voice of Barry White.
Brian Darling is actually Reverend Brian Darling. I haven't figured out the religion if he is Catholic or Lutheran or what but for some reason he cannot stand Nick. When they flashed back to little kids Brian would tell Nick he hated him all the time. We find out that Brian has an illegitimate son, Brian Jr. (Will Shadley). Brian wants junior to get into a school but unless Brian acknowledges his son he will not be able to attend the school. The mother ends up leaving Brian Jr. with Brian for him to take care. Yeah that's going to be a hard one to explain.
Jeremy darling is just a spoiled rich kid with a healthy coke problem. He won a yacht in a poker game and was arrested in the first episode. He complains about how bad his life is...whatever dude, go cry on your bag of money.
Juliet is trying to be an actress but she is awful. She is an absolute mess. She finds out that her father paid for the play she is in. She ends up moving out after the first episode. When I say move out she is probably movie to an apartment that her dad is paying for.
Karen is by far the best character. Karen and Nick dated in high school and she lost her virginity to him. She has been married three times and is engaged to Freddy (Daniel Cosgrove, one of Kelly Taylor's boyfriends on 90210). She is very much still in love with Nick and reminds him of that every time they see each other oh and tells Freddy too.
Anyway I am going to give this show another try. I laughed out loud. Those people are so messed up! We also find out that mom was having an affair with Nick's dad for the past 40 years. Juicy!
