I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

So much average

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This show is awful. Does it even sound promising? It's about little girls going through pageant shows wearing so much make up it makes them look like a coloring book. Plus how is any of this going to help them in real life? Some examples I heard were public speaking skills and self confidence. How is going on stage smiling giving them confidence? They're not doing anything. Public speaking skills? They never talk to the audience. I can't think of one time I enjoyed myself watching this on YouTube. Nobody was likable, the concept hurts, makes the world look bad and it's just sad for children. At the end of the day you don't get through life because you're beautiful you get it because you have skills. I know my child will never participate in one of these even if they wanted to. Don't watch this show and erase it from your brain.

It's times like this, when I wonder, what is wrong with our world. What has happened to our society, and WHY WE ARE WE WATCHING THINGS LIKE THIS? Why do we have garbage programming for the lowest denominator like this, making little girls look like plastic dolls, with fake everything. Want to know why our economy is going? Possibly because of this, and other shows that mindless "humans" watch. These poor kids need to spend their time being kids, not being test subjects for pageant moms. What they need to do at "The Learning Channel" TLC, cancel this and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. I mean, I've seen rocks and bricks with more entertainment value than this. I wish I could rate 0 out of 10.

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...

What is there to be said about this show "Toddlers and Tiaras"? There has never been a reality show like this before; you could take all of the popular reality shows like Jersey Shore, The Real World, Teen Mom,16 and Pregnant, splice them together, and there would only be half as much controversy as this show has. Watching episodes of this show literally makes me cringe (i'm pretty sure everyone remembers the infamous "Pretty Woman" performance). Things I Can't Stand: 1) The mothers are shallow fame-hungry pigs, the fathers are either closeted gays or whipped weaklings, and a majority of the girls on this show are either exploited innocent children or spoiled little brats. There are two mega pageant queens in particular that I cannot stand and they are Mackenzie and Eden Wood. Mackenzie is a total mini b*tch diva, her mother always looks likes she's either high or drunk and never gives Mackenzie any type of discipline. Mackenzie is touchy, bossy, rude and is always screaming for her Ni-Ni. Eden Wood I can tolerate a little because it's not really her I despise; it's her mother. Eden's mother never misses an opportunity to milk money from her daughter's fame. She wants a clothing line and merchandise under the name "Eden Wood". She even had a f*cking prototype of the Eden Wood doll made for her daughter's performance!Also I forgot about the disgustingly cute Honey Boo Boo. That whole "holla for a dolla" routine is deplorable; both her and her fat mom are idiots. Although there is one girl I do like and she is Alaska. Her selfish mother tries so hard for her to be submissive to the extremes of the pageant world, but Alaska doesn't get brainwashed into this sh*t like the others. She actually voices her opinion strongly and doesn't take her mother's crap. There is a moment though when her strength weakens and she eventually gives in to her mother's wish to dye her eyelashes, and unfortunately for her; Alaska becomes like the rest. 2)It makes me sick to my stomach when I see these Southern middle class jokes of parents dish out $10,000-$250,000 on this pointless sh*t, instead saving this money for college, they throw buckets of cash into this pedo- franchise that will leave nothing for their children to fall back on except some plastic trophies and crowns. 3)I hate that the mothers never take the child's well being into consideration. "Beauty Takes Pain" is the motto of this show (straight from the mouths of babes). No matter how many times they say "Ow", "No", "Stop" "That hurts" the torture continues. There is one truly disturbing incident where 1 year old Brucie (Baby Elvis) is dragged by her arm across the floor by her mother in an attempt to put on her costume which was too small. Then there's 4 year old Carley, whose mother threatens her whenever she doesn't practice her routine.The mothers even shove Pixie Sticks and Mountain Dew down their throats for "pep". There is also a brief scene wear a pony is drawn on and gets his mane flat ironed. Child Abuse and Animal Abuse, great 2 for 1 deal! 4) As if this wasn't bad enough, the girls' mental stability is ruptured. They're put under so much stress and pressure that it literally corrupts them. There is a girl on the show named Darla who I think has developed the of multiple personality disorder because she always refers to herself in 3rd person. There are also a few mothers who try to compete with their daughters by bragging about their past wins. The mothers are teaching their daughters to hate themselves. Basically they think to be fake is to be pretty and to be real is to be ugly. They discourage any type of individuality and ambition for their children to become something of importance rather than to become famous. One woman even says that "Pretty people are always popular". When did America become so vain? I know that these women are blind to the fact they're setting their daughters up for a bleak future in which eating disorders, drugs, sex and alcohol will be their only means for comfort. Nevertheless, I applaud TLC for the way the made this show. Rather then view this as entertainment, I see it as more of a documentary to inform the public about the horrendous art of child pageants.
