Would You Date A Momma’s Boy?

There’s a new dating-type reality show in the works – Momma’s Boys. Three young men are looking for love, but first the female contestants will have to meet the approval of their mothers. Sons, girls, and Moms will all be living together under the same roof. Momma’s Boys will premiere Tuesday, the 16th of December.

I suspect that it will much the same as other reality dating shows – lots of fighting girls, lots of enhanced boobs and bikinis – but the moms will probably up the tension quite a bit. I’m very curious about how it’s going to work.  Will the moms be present on the dates?  Will they date the girls as well?  Are these likable moms?  Will they be able to get along with each other?  Will they argue over whose boy is the best catch? (I bet they do).

Will the boys be choosing from a pool of girls or do they each have their own group to chose from?  If they are all choosing from the same pool, then what if the moms all want the same girl for their boy? I’m sure that some of the girls are going to appear more desirable to mom. 

See, lots of questions.  I will definitely be watching the first show, at least.

Apparently, there’s already some controversy stemming from one of the mother’s racist comments.  She feels threatened and has had to contact her local police – she even suspects the family pet died under suspicious circumstances. I suspect she’s pretty darn nasty if that’s what is going on before the show has even aired.

Here’s NBC’s official description of the show……

A new reality series, executive produced by Ryan Seacrest (”American Idol”) and Andrew Glassman (”Average Joe”), centers on a group of mothers who must help choose the perfect woman for their complacent sons.

Ultimately, the series poses the question: “Who is really the most important woman in every man’s life?”

In “Momma’s Boys,” love is in the air but the story is told from a new television perspective – because first, the women will have to get by mom.

Drama ensues when numerous mothers and their eligible bachelor sons are housed together with several single women. As the tension mounts, viewers will watch as possessive mothers influence their son’s search for the perfect mate.

Some of the possible brides are “nice girls,” while others might not be as presentable. As expected, rivalries are formed, drama mounts and emotion builds as crucial choices must be made.
