NBC has decided to once again delay Momma's Boys debut.

The network announced that the Ryan Seacrest-produced reality dating series won't premiere until Tuesday, December 16 at 10PM ET/PT -- immediately following The Biggest Loser: Families' finale broadcast at 8PM ET/PT.
"This strategy for Momma's Boys offers the show a more favorable launch platform," NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios co-chairmen Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff said in explaining the latest programming decision.
Following its December 16 debut, Momma's Boys will begin airing in its regular Mondays at 9PM ET/PT time slot on December 22.
NBC originally scheduled Momma's Boys to debut on October 29 before announcing earlier this month that it would instead premiere November 12. The show was first announced back in May and was originally supposed to have debuted "on the heels" of NBC's August coverage of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.

Momma's Boys will begin with three mothers and sons moving in with 32 single women -- some of whom will be "nice girls" the mothers will approve of, and others who won't meet the possessive yet loving moms' high standards.
Once there, the Momma's Boys bachelors will spend six episodes narrowing the women down to their one woman -- and in the process, determine who is the most important woman in each of their lives: their mothers or their new significant others.
