Ryan Seacrest is continuing his effort to take over the universe with a "new" reality dating show that sounds a lot like every other concept as of late — but this time, one of the major networks has been suckered into the black hole.

[NBC] has teamed with Seacrest for a new reality show dubbed Momma's Boy in which mothers of eligible bachelors 'help their sons pick the right woman,' according to a casting notice for the series posted on NBC.com.

'Producers are looking for moms and their sons who are willing to work together as a team to find the perfect mate,' the ad on NBC's Web site said. 'These mothers should have strong opinions about whom their sons should date and be willing to separate the good from the bad.'

Um, has NBC seen Keeping Up with the Kardashians? If we had any faith left in television, it would officially be killed.
