190.0. "Mommies" by MILPND::CLARK_D () Wed Nov 10 1993 01:23

    
    Has anyone seen the show "Mommies" ?  It's shown on Saturday nights at
    8:00.  I've been watching it, it was pretty funny in the beginning but
    I think has wained a little lately.  
    
    Some of the lines they come up with sure are funny and real.

    Since it's based on a successful standup act (originally with 3
    "Mommies") they probably ran out of 'standup' material....think back to
    the first 6-8 Cosby, Roseanne and Home Improvement episodes - they were
    mstly elongated standup routines acted out.  Maybe like the past three
    the "Mommies" will grow and character developement will take them from
    1 dimensional oneliners to actual characters - goodness knows there
    should be enough material between 2 close families and teh variety of
    children etc... I wish them luck.

190.3It's gotten better...ASDG::SBILLMon May 09 1994 22:5419
    
    My wife and I have been watching this show for a while now. It had
    gotten stale for a while there but it has gotten MUCH funnier. They've
    added a couple of new characters and they've added alot to the show.
    The funniest is this woman who lives in the neighborhood. She's miss
    perfect, always prepared, she wears this fanny pack that just seems to
    produce any needed item at will. They play very well off of each other
    with her being the "traditional perfect TV mother figure" and the
    others being the opposite "current stereotypical who cares type mother
    figure". Saturday night they did two shows back to back. The second was
    really funny the two "regular" mommies were on a diet administered by
    "Ms perfect" and they actually gained weight, this upset Ms perfect so
    much they showed her in therapy. One of the great one liners of the
    show was: One way to cut your calorie intake by half is...Don't dip
    your chocolate chip cookie in the icing!!!
    
    Anyway, some of you might find this show worth another look...

    I have to agree, this show has gotten better.  They have added Julia
    Duffy and Jere Burns (he was on Dear John) as a house husband.  All of
    the "Mommies", have coffee together every morning.  The two shows on
    Sat. night were pretty good.
