AMERICA'S FAVORITE TV MOM ROSEANNE BARR HOSTS NEW SERIES - "MOMSTERS: WHEN MOMS GO BAD" ON INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY PREMIERING BLACK FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28

- Viewers Invited to Watch and Win a $5000 Shopping Spree During ID's All-Day "Black Friday Watch 'Til You Drop" Marathon Hosted by Barr --

(Silver Spring, Md.) -- With the help of TV's beloved loud-mouth mom and infamous comedienne, Roseanne Barr, MOMSTERS: WHEN MOMS GO BAD uncovers a bizarre world where mothers will do anything for their children's happiness. From the little league mama who stalks and threatens her son's coach to the pageant parent who will stop at nothing to get her daughter the crown, these mothers are not afraid to cross boundaries and get their hands dirty. MOMSTERS: WHEN MOMS GO BAD premieres on the most appropriate day of the year, Black Friday, November 28 at 10/9c with back-to-back episodes.

"These 'momsters' find themselves knee-deep in schemes so sordid and unexpected that the only way out is to keep going - you will laugh at the inherent humor of these situations just as often as you gasp at the shock of their crimes," said Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Destination American, American Heroes Channel, Discovery Family Channel and Discovery Fit & Health. "Roseanne acts as the mother of all meltdowns in her uniquely sarcastic tone while telling the stories of the many women who give Mommie Dearest a run for her money."

Leading up to the premiere of MOMSTERS: WHEN MOMS GO BAD, ID is encouraging viewers to skip those dangerous sales and instead sit back and enjoy the first-ever Black Friday Watch 'Til You Drop Marathon, hosted by ardent ID fan Barr, kicking off at 2pm on November 28.

About Roseanne Barr

Comedy superstar, award-winning actress, best-selling author, recent presidential candidate and the original domestic goddess, Roseanne Barr continues to amaze. After nine years, 224 episodes, four Emmy awards, and countless other accolades, she single-handedly re-landscaped the medium of situational comedy forever. Her creation and stark portrayal of "Roseanne Conner" and the Conner family on ABC's Roseanne has been hailed as "the most ground breaking kitchen-sink sitcom since All in the Family (Entertainment Weekly)." The role earned Barr an Emmy Award as well as Golden Globe, Kids' Choice and multiple American Comedy Awards. Barr also had her own talk show, "The Roseanne Show," which earned her a Daytime Emmy Award nomination as outstanding talk show host. Her big screen credits include "She Devil," "Freddy's Dead," "Blue in the Face" and "Meet Wally Sparks," and she voiced characters in "Look Who's Talking Too" and "Home on the Range." She has written three books: "Roseanne: My Life as a Woman," "My Lives" and most recently, "Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm." In 2013, Roseanne returned to her stand-up roots and was the headline act for an exclusive run at the legendary Tropicana Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. She can be found blogging daily on her website, www.roseanneworld.com, and on Twitter as @TheRealRoseanne. Most recently, Roseanne was the center judge on America's most compelling comedy competition on NBC's Emmy Award-nominated series "Last Comic Standing." At Full Moon and High Tide Studio (FMHT), Barr's family-run production company, she is currently spearheading numerous projects including her first DVD for children, titled "Rockin' with Roseanne: Calling All Kids!" which was inspired by Barr's grandchildren.
