NBC will introduce Momma's Boys, a new reality series to be executive-produced by Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) and Andrew Glassman (Average Joe) about a group of mothers who must help choose the perfect brides for their complacent sons. Conflict results when mothers and their eligible bachelor sons are housed together with several "brides-to-be." As tension mounts, viewers will watch the controlling mothers search for their sons' perfect mates.
2new series are on ABC's fall schedule, one of them scripted, in a schedule the network admits was severely affected by the 100-day TV writers' strike. The new David E. Kelley-produced drama, Life on Mars, is about a police detective transported back to 1973. It will air on Thursdays. Opportunity Knocks is a game where producers show up at a home with a truckload of prizes and quiz family members on what they know about each other. ABC is also picking up the NBC comedy Scrubs for midseason.
"In Hollywood, there is no such thing as being a nice girl. Or being, you know, not messed up. If you're not, they'll make you that way."
