NBC might have made most of its big programming announcements early, but that doesn't mean the network is staying out of the spotlight entirely at this year's upfronts. Today, the network announced it will team with Ryan Seacrest for a dating show called Momma's Boys, in which a group of mothers will attempt to choose the appropriate mates for their eligible-bachelor sons.
According to NBC, the show will pose the ultimate question: "Who is really the most important woman in every man's life?"
Conflict results when numerous mothers and their eligible bachelor sons are housed together with several "brides-to-be." As the tension mounts, viewers will watch the controlling mothers search for their son's perfect mate.
The press release also describes the sons as "complacent" . . . so yeah, sounds like these ladies will end up with quite the catch.
Seacrest is only on board to produce — not host — at the moment, but that didn't stop him from waxing poetic about his own momma in the press release: "Anytime I make a decision either personally or professionally, I have to ask myself . . . what would my mother say? Like it or not, I am a true momma's boy."
Would you check out this dating series, or is it all just more of the same?

Casting producer, please inform us:
Will any of the Momma's boys be heterosexual?
Just wondering.
