    This show is depicting the people I always think about when I ask myself why is the world such a mess. If you want to feel depressed then watch this show, and pity the children in it, then go and give your own father and mother a giant hug and bless them for NOT BEING LIKE THE FREAKS ON THIS SHOW!

    This show is packed with entertainment, but at the expense of young girls trying to do what the love. The amount of controversies is unnecessary. The very first episode is appalling. When Chloe's headpiece fell off during her number, the mother was yelled at like a child. The girls are treated like tiny robots without any room for mistakes. Abbey is a raspy voiced bully. You can instructThis show is packed with entertainment, but at the expense of young girls trying to do what the love. The amount of controversies is unnecessary. The very first episode is appalling. When Chloe's headpiece fell off during her number, the mother was yelled at like a child. The girls are treated like tiny robots without any room for mistakes. Abbey is a raspy voiced bully. You can instruct children without putting the fear of God into them. There is constructive criticism and then there is plain verbal abuse and Abbey Lee Miller does not know the difference. There is something wrong when the children are crying more than they are smiling. It's unbelievable that the mothers sit there and take the scolding as if they were the age of their girls. That's a horrible example to let others have that control over you. Melissa lets the other moms talk about her child with envy and that's downright unacceptable. This show is ultimately infuriating to watch.… Expand

    The new worst show on television debuted Wednesday night on Lifetime--Dance Moms, an ugly docu-circus featuring a megaton bully of a Pittsburgh dance instructor, the little princesses she costumes as lunatic street whores, and a quorum of strenuously pathetic stage mothers, one of whom warbles that she would slit her wrists if her daughter even thought of trying out for softball.

    I love a show about crazy stage moms, and at moments this one doesn't disappoint.

    Once you get past the reality-TV grabbers, you realize that while there is some of that, more importantly there's a lot of Miller. It is great to watch her work.
