Earlier this week, CBS announced that it is developing a reality-based version of its '60s sitcom hit "The Beverly Hillbillies," on which a rural family will be re-situated into the excesses of Beverly Hills, Calif.

Now, reports Variety, Fox TV is planning a reality-based version of one of the "Hillbillies" spin-offs, "Green Acres," about a sophisticated New York couple that relocates to the sticks.

Can a "Petticoat Junction" reality version be far behind?

For the new "Green Acres" (the 1965 sitcom starred Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor and lasted six seasons), producers will likely "take a rich, upper-class family or individual -- possibly a celebrity -- and move them from a big city to a much more spartan existence, most likely in the South," says the trade paper.

Among the challenges in this new setting: getting a job, buying groceries and mingling with ordinary people.

The show is still in the development stage, says one of its producers, Mary-Ellis Bunim. As she told Variety: "Our final concept may end up being real different (from 'Green Acres')."
