  1. Apart from the Oedipal twist, it seems to be pretty much your standard "Bachelor"-style hookup show, the women all bunged up together in a fancy dormitory.

    All told, it's the most familiar of reality concepts with all the usual tricks--barely deviating from established programs, patterned after a movie ("Monster-in-Law," anyone?) and relying upon a pithy name to spare the marketing guys from working too hard selling it.
  3. A denial of our brand new day is reflected even more egregiously in Momma's Boys (Mondays on NBC), which arrived amid controversy last week when the show turned out to be "The Bachelor" with race baiting.
