Spotlight Show of the Night

Momma’s Boys (10:00 p.m./9:00 p.m. Central, Series Premiere) – Hey, just because I spotlight it doesn’t mean I think it’s going to be good. I see this as the biggest trainwreck NBC has put on the air in a long time. In fact, it reminds me of something FOX would have put on the air in their Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? days. The premise is pretty simple, take three guys and a huge group of hot chicks and it sounds like a typical dating reality show. But no, these are Momma’s boys so they can’t choose a woman without mother’s approval. Oh god, this should be as awesome as Crowned and The Swan! And if this is what NBC creative is coming up with for the 10pm hour, Jay Leno was the right move.

The earliest ones have become holiday classics that are honored, imitated and broadcast somewhere around the world on a daily basis. The earliest of these, A Charlie Brown Christmas, gave us melodies and scenes that we still remember from our childhood. It also gave us a message, thanks to a little boy with a security blanket and a round-headed kid with a tiny, sickly Christmas tree, about the real meaning of the holiday.
