Precious Plum(2013)

Precious Plum is a comedy series that parodies the child beauty pageant phenomenon. Precious Plum, played by Elaine Carroll, is an ambitious young contestant determined to win pageant glory and secure free hamburgers, with her overbearing stage mother Mama (Josh Ruben) pushing her relentlessly toward the spotlight. The show takes aim at the absurdities of competitive youth pageants and the often-chaotic family dynamics that fuel them, drawing clear inspiration from reality television's most outrageous moments. Equal parts satire and character comedy, Precious Plum captures the over-the-top energy of pageant culture while exploring the complicated relationship between a mother's ambitions and her daughter's dreams.
