Into a Writer's Head

What the...?

So, there's a show on MTV called Date My Mom. Apparently the premise is that the guy goes out with the moms of three different girls, in order to choose who to date. He goes on a date with each mom, and then gets to ask the mom questions about her daughter in order to make a decision about who to choose.
Okay. What mom is going to bad mouth her daughter on television to get her a date? hm? It just seems wrong. Very, very wrong. The mom's all ask their daughters what they should NOT talk about, then end up bringing it up in conversation anyway. Again, this airs on national television, so the daughter will eventually find out what the mom said about her, not to mention what the guy thought about the daughter based on what the mom said. How is this show a good thing? All I see coming out of it are years of family therapy.
