Toddlers and Tiaras (2009)
A balanced view...
I reckon this show has undergone a little too much scrutiny. The pageants are more tame than the dance competitions most young girls are entering. They teach the kids some useful skills and the pageants aren't to blame for the kid's behavior as much as the parents' input. Congrats to the few parents who allow their children to choose their outfits, who let the girls 'feel like a princess' in an age-appropriate way. Shame on the mother choosing 'booty shorts and a crop top to match her heel shoes' for a 9 year-old's cowgirl costume! Each episode needs to be judged individually as some are better than others and open a whole new can of worms... From Makenzie's tantrums over beloved Nini to quiet Kayleigh from Season 1 who almost missed out on a well-deserved crown, there is never a dull moment. This show is good for a giggle, especially with some of the comments from the children themselves, who, regardless of the pageant world, would still be divas and show ponies! I would give it an 7/10 as it lives up to the dramatic expectations, but parts feel entirely inappropriate...
