From the Flavor of Love poop fiasco to the 4chan fever-dream that was Frank the Entertainer in a Basement Affair, and of course, all three episodes of Megan Wants a Millionaire, which was abruptly canceled after a leading suitor found himself wanted for murder, the glory days of trashy might no longer be a distant memory.  

Time has yet again proven itself to be a flat circle, thanks in part to the Yung Gravy and Jennifer Coolidge-fueled MILF renaissance, a golden age culminating in TLC’s latest — and arguably most deranged — reality TV offering: MILF Manor.

Dubbed a “bizarre blend of reality TV and incest porn” by Rolling Stone’s Miles Klee, MILF Manor goes where only step-mom adult scenes have before, helping single cougars find love — with a group of young, hot men consisting entirely of their adult sons. 

Though only one installment of this inevitable Oedpian classic has hit the network —  famed for its other family-friendly hits including Extreme Cheapskates and My Teen Is Pregnant and So Am I — the series has already kicked off with a bang (or BBC soccer-worthy moan), featuring a challenge involving identifying a son via blindfolded ab-groping, foot fetishes, resemblances to alleged murderers, sexual growling, and of course, the phrase “he’s like, tied to his mom’s hips” iterated as a compliment for the first time in human history.

MILF Manor is here, whether you're ready for it or not.
