I can't tell you what channel it's on or even when, but it seems like when I'm scrolling through the guide on my TV to find mindless entertainment, I end up watching Raising Asia.
The show is based on this little dance star, wanna be world star, Asia and her family. I remember seeing them on Dance Moms a few times - another show I seem to find but have no idea when it's on or what channel. What I don't remember from seeing them on Dance Moms is the little girl being such a brat, mocking her mom, or her mom being such a crazy control freak.
It's seriously a train wreck of a show. Why would any family sign up for their life to be shown on TV like this? It seems like the producers go out of their way to show the mom in the worst light possible.
I can't see how this will ever end well for this little girl. I honestly think Honey Boo Boo has a much better chance of having a happy life than Asia.
Who else has watched?

I watch it, mainly because it's on after Dance Moms. And I will proudly admit that I love Dance Moms!  |

I started out watching Dance Moms pretty regularly but I have no idea if I'm even watching them in order now. The shows are usually the same - Maddie gets the best choreography, the best costumes and the best attention and the other moms complain. They complain a lot but never leave.
I had high hopes for Holly since she seemed the least like the other moms, but I suppose the desire to have a famous daughter has won over her common sense.

The moms on Dance Moms are horrible to each other. While I think Asia is incredibly talented, I don't understand her parents' desire to push her into such mature material when she's only about 8 or so. I think it's funny how the people are recycled between the shows. Didn't Anthony (the choreographer) work with the Candy Apples on Dance Moms? |

I have watched Dance Moms sometimes, but was really turned off by the promotions of this show.
The commercials for the show make Asia seem like such a brat-I have no desire to even watch. I fear for her future well-being.

I've watched a few episodes and Asia's mom is crazy controlling. She wouldn't even let that kid eat egg yolks! No wonder Asia's a diva, mom is bringing her up to be that way.
ETA : She's a great dancer, but the girl can't sing (yet..she's only 8) so quit trying to make her into the next Beyonce.

I stopped watching Dance Moms so I wasn't even aware this was on until I was just channel surfing the other night and saw it. It's a trainwreck of epic proportions.

Or else she was told by the producers she would be cut from the show if she didn't stir up some drama. The whole point of reality shows in general is to show people in their worst light (in my opinion). I've been sucked into watching several reality shows, but I always wonder why the heck people want to be on reality shows. There is just not enough money in the world for me to make a fool of myself on television. |

I watched about 5 minutes of this show (the part where the father is watching Asia go through her dance moves, she slips and hurts her knee, the Mom comes back and they both (Mom and Dad) stand there arguing over the kid's head). It made me feel so sorry for this little girl. Yes she has talent. That's obvious to see. But these parents make me sick! It's obvious they are trying to make their child into someone famous because they didn't get that chance with themselves.
I am so against that! Each person is an individual. If Asia has talent (and it's obvious she does) then send her to the best dance classes you can afford with the best teachers you can find.What makes them qualified as dance teachers anyway? What they are doing is pushing so hard and filling up her head with the idea that she is going to be as famous as Beyonce. Push, push, push. Can you imagine the amount of stress that puts on an 8 year old? It's almost like mental child abuse.
If any of this is true of course. I can't watch it. The parents make me sick.

Was tempted, but the commercial previews thought it might make me want to hurl things at my TV after watching her mom. Your posts have made me see I was probably right in my thinking. Thanx! ETA: Not that I don't watch plenty of trashy reality TV! Those of you who enjoy this show, have at it w/my blessing!  |

There was an episode I saw where the mom was telling Asia that she can't be a regular kid if she wants to be the next Beyonce. Then the mom added up how many hours per week of dance, singing, drama and everything else she has to do and it was more than 40 hours. On top of home-schooling. That's just crazy.
Even the mom's family complained that she's nuts. The mom admitted she never sleeps because there's not enough time. Way to limit your life expectancy. What's the point?

I have watched it a few times when I am surfing channels. Asia is such a brat and behaves so much older then an 8 yr. old. Last night I felt so bad when her sister Bella felt left out while Asia was on her aerial rig.

I haven't been watching but will probably watch some reruns. Asia was originally on Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition (or something like that). Then she was recruited for Dance Moms and then her own show. And yes, Anthony Burrell was working with Cathy from Candy Apples. I didn't realize Dance Moms had started again-I'll have to look for reruns of it too.
