Five months after CMT broke up with Miss America, the TLC cable channel has acquired rights to the super-smiley event, and will air it for the next three years starting Jan. 26, live from the Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, TLC will also launch a reality series in conjunction with the pageant, which will follow the 52 wannabes as they ready for the delicious catfight competition.

I thought Miss America already was a reality TV show; one of the first. One winner, bunch of crying losers? Check. Contestant vignettes, bathing suits and amateurish musical numbers? Check, check, check. If they make it any more real it will just overwhelm the audience with all it's realness.

What's next after TLC? Animal Planet? The Cartoon Network? Court TV? The Weather Channel? SciFi?

Maybe it's time to put this thing down like you would a horse with a broken leg.

Not until after it gets to air on "C-SPAN".

Actually, I heard they were moving Miss America to Book TV. The contestants will be compete after the Margaret Atwood interview and before that Salmon Rushdie reality TV show where he tries to start up his own metal band called "Breaking the Taliban Law."
