Show Biz Moms & Dads premiers Tuesday, April 13th, 8 p.m. Central, on Bravo. I’m not a fan of reality TV but must confess I’m looking forward to this one. Watching the promos, it seems obvious to me that the parents don’t know that the hook on this show is how pathetic they look, trying to live through their children.

The Nutters  mom, dad and seven kids  who relocated from a rural home in Vermont to a tiny two-bedroom apartment in New York so the whole family could pursue acting careers in the big city.

Four year-old pageant participant Emily Tye, whose mom Debbie spends upwards of $20,000 a year to keep her young daughter competitive.

Aspiring teen actor Jordan Barron and her mom Tiffany, who struggles with a demanding schedule of holding down a job, raising two kids and shuttling Jordan to auditions and acting classes.
