A new reality show has set social media ablaze as Americans appear fascinated with “hot moms” looking for love with men half their age. The TLC Network announced the upcoming “Milf Manor” on Wednesday, a soon-to-debut reality program that is billed as eight attractive mothers embarking on a chance to “find love with men half their age,” until they’re greeted with a “shocking twist.”
TLC tweeted a promotional trailer that quickly went viral, and the preview for “Milf Manor” piled up over four million views in less than 24 hours on Twitter alone. The program quickly became a trending topic, with many recalling an old “30 Rock” joke about a fictional show called “Milf Island,” a spoof on how ridiculous reality TV was beginning to appear over a decade ago.
But now the program is real, and “eight confident and strong-minded women leave home for the chance to find love at a paradise destination” starting next month. Many begged to be a contestant, others expressed disgust, but it seemed like everyone had an opinion. NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik reacted, “Your periodic reminder that TLC originally stood for… The Learning Channel.”
Another user joked, “No better example of America’s trajectory than the evolution of ‘The Learning Channel.’” Many begged to be a contestant, others expressed disgust, but it seemed like everyone had an opinion.
