The MOMMIES ran 2 seasons yet not in 90's category - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

PunkyP0WER · 06-21-2008, 02:20 AM

anyone remember this show? it premiered in 1993 and one brunette lady and blonde lady (marilyn and caryl i think their names are) were best friends and their respective families lived next door to each other on the show. it lasted 2 seasons, with julia duffy joining in season 2 when the show was revamped and the title was changed from 'Mommies' to 'The Mommies'. I think the blonde and brunette lady also did Palmolive dish washing liquid commercials as well during and after the show was canceled for a time. odd that its not in SO's 90's category.

It may have lasted 2 seasons but it was only on the air for 1 year which is not long enough to be in the 90's category

Most of the boards on here I think have a minumum of about 44 episodes or so except the ones that have separate SO webpages. I remember the show. I only saw a couple episodes but I liked it.

I thought a show had to have a minimum of 3 seasons to have it's own board

No Carter Country , Its a Great Life, and some others only ran 2 seasons and they have their own board. Their are some though that ran for 2 seasons that don't have one. I don't know if their is a set rule.

Ok well it probably depends on the number of episodes. I was the one who had the CPO Sharkey Board added and the show had a total of 41 eps-lol

Their names are Caryl Kristensen (the blonde) & Marilyn Kentz (the brunette), and yes, those were the two women that did the Palmolive commercials in the mid-late '90s. In addition to the aforementioned sitcom, they also had a short-lived daytime talk show on ABC during the 1996-97 season. And yes, there were two seasons of The Mommies, but season 2 was put on NBC as a midseason replacement from Jan-Apr 1995, whereas season 1 (1993-94) was a full season.

In any case, only season 1 is available for syndication--don't ask me why it is set up like that.

I remember The Mommies. I believe soap actor Lane Davies (Santa Barbara, General Hospital) played one of the husbands.

I didn't think it had enough episodes for syndication. Is it being played anywhere?

I have no idea - after it was cancelled, I never saw it again. I don't think it was ever syndicated. Whatever happened to Marilyn and Caryl post-Mommies, anyway?

The only station airing a show that has one season in syndication must be located in Rasberry, Montana

LOL

About the only one season show I ever saw in syndication was Gidget. It was syndicated in the 1980s on one of my local channels.
