"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!
