I Love A Mama’s Boy Seasons 1

Wednesdays TLC (*135) 21:00

New relationship reality show I Love A Mama’s Boy has that addictive “Oh no you didn’t!” energy, leaving viewers watching open-mouthed as women in four couples get to grips with the other woman in their boyfriends’ life… their mothers. These are “significant mothers” who seem to have no boundaries with their baby boys. Like Matt going Valentine’s lingerie shopping for his then-girlfriend Kim… with mother Kelly in tow, which led to Kim and Kelly sporting identical silk robes. Another couple saw a mother inviting a blind date to her son’s dinner party with his very-much-alive girlfriend who she’s met – but still doesn’t like – many many times before. And fans will know this is just a scraping of ice from the tippy top of the inappropriate iceberg that is I Love A Mama’s Boy. Matt, Kim and Kelly reveal how making the show has changed their lives.
