How's Your Mother-In-Law? was a short-lived comedy variety game show, where three Mothers-in-Law compete on this show. Three celebrities pair up with the mother-in-laws. There is a jury who has to determine which mother-in-law would be the best to take them home.

Format

Three mothers-in-law were represented by comedians acting as "defense attorneys".

After each comedian presented his "case", a "jury" of five unmarried men and five unmarried women picked the mother-in-law they'd most like to have. That mother-in-law received $100. Each woman's son-in-law provided information (usually derogatory) to the comedians before the show.

NOTE: In the pilot, the winning mother-in-law returned to play the next game against two new mothers-in-law.
