"Momma's Boys": We want more!
I told my kids NBC's "Momma's Boys" was silly and prurient, but then I got hooked.
I enjoyed watching the interaction of the twenty-something men with their mothers, whom they clearly adored but were trying to break away from.
The premise: The three men get to choose among 32 women, similar to other dating shows. But their mothers also get a say, and they all had strong opinions, including Lorraine Nichols of Sunrise, whose son, Michael Sarysz of Plantation, a firefighter/paramedic pictured here, went against her wishes to choose Amanda, a medical student.
What irritated me initially were the obvious nose jobs and breast enhancements of most of the young women, some of whom had appeared in Playboy and Penthouse and were seeking further media attention. But ultimately the mother-son relationships, so deep and complicated, won me over.
Although the series is over, you can still watch it here. Here's looking at Season Two!

I thought the show was good BUT the Mother's where LOSERSSSSSS! I would have beeen disgraced if that was my Mother like that, they where the most stupid women on two feet. Mrs B took first place, no wonder she lives alone & will spend the rest of her life very lonely. What a idiot, ut the apron strings you bitches.

I understand Michael not wanting to be with the Penthouse Playmate. After all, most of his firemen buddies probably have seen more of her than Michael. But his choice, was really an odd looking ditzy head. I know, I know, she is a doctor. But she acted so ditzy!
And Jo Jo....thank you! I really was afraid that you were going to choose mom. What a weirdo she is! I, too, have a son that I think of as "mommas boy" but I am more like Lorraine. A little skeptical, but ultimeately want my son happy!
Rob. Sorry, Rob but you will be unhappy the rest of your life if you let Momma choose a girl just because she is Jewish. You had love and passion with Camilla!
I walked away from the finale thankful that two of the three had their heads on straight. Michael, I think you should give Erica a chance. You two were really cute together and seemed so much more relaxed and in tune with one another. Maybe with Erica keeping in touch with Lorraine, it might turn Michael around!

I would rather be single for my entire life than to hook up with such whiny, momma boys who still needs his mother to spoon feed him and wipe his butt. These ment need to grow a pair of ballz, man-up and make their own choices. I can't imagine being stuck for a lifetime with some of those loser mothers. I'd join a nunnery before I'd sign up for that special brand of Freudian crazy.
