At least most people know about that MTUSA contestant...no one probably knows who Miss America is, since that pagent has been circling the drain for years... (it's gone from NBC to ABC to CMT, and now to TLC...I fully expect it to be on Fox Reality soon)

And it aired on CBS throughout the 80s and 90s.

TLC, eh? It being the Learning Channel*, I guess it has to teach teenage girls how to be shallow and vapid.

You sure about that?  I'm almost positive Miss America was an NBC staple for years and years until the mid-1990s, then ABC picked up the mantle (then dropped it after ratings sunk).

CBS was more in the Miss USA/Universe fold prior to Trump's involvement (with some game show host doing a lot of the emceeing--can't recall his name offhand).

Not to mention Helen O'Connell.

That's the one I'm thinking of. You see one pointless pageant, you've seen them all. ;-)

We could play "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader", but with Kids! Gary Coleman could host!

Surely you can't be serious!




(And who knows how these shows will do...by that time, we'll know if there's going to be a writer's strike, so we might see a glut of shows like these...)
