On FOX
A lighthearted reality comedy built on the fish-out-of-water premise of wealthy socialites fumbling through ordinary jobs, sustained across 55 episodes by the charm of watching privileged people encounter the working world.
The Simple Life is an American reality television series. The series aired from December 2, 2003 to August 5, 2007. The first three seasons aired on Fox, and the final two on E!. The series depicts two wealthy socialites, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, as they struggle to do manual, low-paying jobs such as cleaning rooms, farm work, serving meals in fast-food restaurants and working as camp counselors.
