Life is not Fair
This is a great show. So often everyone always wants things to be equal and fair. Overall it is disabling to our children. This show demonstrates that sometimes things are not equal. In the East Coast semi-finals a girl that my family thought was truly talented was eliminated. This was a good lesson for my kids to see. The judges are constructive with their criticism and Nick Lachey is very supportive of the contestants. It is almost like American Idol for the tween set.

Good lessons learned
I think that this show is one of the few "good" reality shows out there. Because it takes different children from different backgrounds and allows them to get some professional constructive criticism. I let my seven year old watch this reality show and we talk about what the judges said after it is over. She than ask how it applies to her.

Must-see TV for every HSM fan
"Get In The Picture" will air on ABC Sundays and Mondays at 8. It could be called "American Idol" for "HSM" fans since singing is what's focused on currently. "Picture" isn't completely G-rated since there was a suicide reference in one person's tryout and people are stereotyped by what they were/are in high school. In general, this show is appropriate for families and is part of ABC's obvious attempt to make primetime more family-friendly with new family-safe reality TV shows like this one.
