Miss USA Season 1 is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Miss USA Season 1 has the format that countless others have tried to copy since. Miss USA 1963 was the 12th Miss USA pageant, held at the Miami Beach Auditorium, Miami Beach, Florida on July 17, 1963. This was the first Miss USA to be broadcast on television, first aired on CBS. Contestants from forty-two states and the District of Columbia competed in the pageant. It was aired in 1963. Miss USA Season 1 understands the difference between manufactured drama and the real thing, and leans on the latter. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Best watched with company, Miss USA Season 1 generates takes from everyone in the room. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. The casting and production never let it go stale. The kind of thing that disappears an evening without you noticing.
