Reality TV fans rejoice. Ryan Seacrest Productions and Bravo present tentatively-titled "Shahs of Sunset," a new "docu-series" following the lives of young, rich Persian-Americans residing in Los Angeles, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Cameras stalking another group of affluent young adults is exactly what cable programming needs, and targeting and exposing a specific ethnic group will surely be well-received by its members. Italian Americans praise the fist-pumping, bar-fighting, big-haired stereotypes of MTV's "Jersey Shore," right? Perhaps this series will raise the reality bar to more sophisticated heights.

The show enters into the group's lives as they maneuver post-college existence, new careers, family and tradition.

"The series will offer rich characters and relatable storylines about everyday life -- love, work, friendship and family - steeped in a diverse culture, which is wildly entertaining and fun," said Seacrest.

Sure, we can all relate to infinite bank accounts, extravagant spending and the lavish lives of rich kids. Sure.

Adding to his expansive entertainment roster, Seacrest will serve as Executive Producer to the show.

    This, times infinity. The show sounds just as obnoxious as Jersey Shore. Do people actually watch that garbage?
