TV Tonight: Crowned
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.

The CW Dishes on New Reality Shows and More
It's The CW"s turn at the TCA press tour today, with panel discussions with the casts of each of the CW's new shows. Network Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff took the stage this morning to chat about what's coming up for the network, which is entering its second year. Here were a few of the highlights:
- The two-hour "Beauty and the Geek" premiere will kick off the CW's season on Sept.
Hey, Moms and Daughters: It's Pageant Time!
This just might be the best bad idea I've heard in a while. The CW is casting for a new show called "Crowned" that will pit mother-daughter pairs of beauty contestants against each other. Sort of "America's Next Top Model" meets "The Amazing Race," but almost guaranteed to be more screwed up than either of those.
