Produced by Relativity Television and Bogner Entertainment, “Kim of Queens” has been rating well for the network, earning a 16 percent increase over the network’s primetime average in the advertiser-coveted Adults 18-49 and its key demographic Women 25-54.
It follows former Miss Georgia America, Kim Gravel, as she mentors and trains young girls to compete in pageants and her sometimes contentious relationships with their parents. Upfront, full of witty Southern sayings and possessing a lot of energy, Gravel is looking for the next girl with the potential to be Miss America. The show also stars her sister Allisyn and their mother Jo.
