On the guilt-to-pleasure scale for reality TV, where will Crowned fall? The mother-daughter beauty competition show premieres tonight on the CW, with 11 teams moving into a posh pageant house and competing against each other for the ultimate crown.
On the one hand, the feminist in me wants to get all up in arms about another show that portrays women as shallow and catty. On the other, I have to admit that Crowned looks like it could be gloriously over-the-top, from the "desashing" ceremonies with bejeweled scissors to the very presence of Carson Kressley. And I'm not above admitting that I laughed when the promo aired during the TV press tour over the summer; no matter what, it sounded better than Farmer Wants a Wife.
Crowned starts at 9 p.m. EST and PST, after the season finale of America's Next Top Model. Will you be giving the show a chance? To watch a preview, just read more

I laughed all the way through the preview clip. Yep, I've gotta watch this. Laughter is good for the soul!
1I guess I will be checking it out it looks funny
2I'll really only be checking it out for Carson. I miss him on TV.
3You know why there are so many shows that portray woman shallow and catty? Because so many women are. Take a look around you
4I should retract my last comment. I am feeling a bit cynical towards the ladies at the moment because of an offline situation.
5You have to be kidding. This looks so dumb.
6Hmm. I liked the idea in theory, but the trailer makes me think it would just irritate me too much.
7I'll be turning my tv off after ANTM
8I'll also be turning off the tube. But seriously, Farmer Wants a Wife? Please, please tell me it's a joke.
9tlsgirl — you think I could make that up? Hee. Unfortunately, it's real.
10This is a very bizarre concept for a TV show.
