The overly intrusive mother and interfering, judgmental family thing has been done to death and by actors who made it both funny and believable. Linda Lavin and Elliott Gould may be very nice people, but whoever cast them as the parents may not have actually read the script or attended the auditions.
From the effort being put in by the rest of the cast, I get the impression they've already concluded this thing is going nowhere.
