TLC has yanked Mama’s Boys From the Bronx from their schedule after two weeks on the air. The reality series revolves around a handful of thirty-something Italian-American guys who live at home with their moms in the northernmost boroughs of New York City.
According to TVMediaInsights and Nielsen, week-to-week Mama’s Boys dropped from 808,000 to 610,000 viewers at 10pm, and 817,000 to 563,000 viewers at 10:30pm. The cable channel has replaced Mama’s Boys with installments of Undercover Boss Abroad.
Castmembers have been encouraging fans of the show to petition TLC to bring the show back. One of the stars, Anthony Zoccolillo, wrote on Facebook, “You know whats funny TLC? We filmed all this great stuff about our culture, values, and traditions and you cut it all out and make them add all this nonsense then cancel us cause nobody liked what you told our production team to shoot.. what do you know about our Italian culture… let us be who we really are and then maybe we would have got better ratings.”
TLC commissioned eight episodes and four have yet to air. There’s no word on when or if they ever will.
What do you think? Did you like this reality series? Do you think that TLC should air the rest of the episodes?

Take mama’s boy off the air l think this Episode are ridiculous
You guys don’ know what people like. what from some out date reporting system. Listen to the people. Mama’s boys from the Bronx is New York Duck Dynasty. That why A/E kicking your ass
Loved, loved, loved this show! Caught all four episodes on rerun one Saturday morning and was hooked immediately. Episode titled “I Change Girlfriends Like I Change My Underwears” just cemented it.
Please bring it back! I told all my friends about it and then poof! it was nowhere to be found. 🙁
I was so looking forward to this show! Finally, I thought, the Bronx gets to shine a little. What a let down:(
The TLC network should return Mama’s Boys From the Bronx to it’s scheduling.
A good wholesome fun show!
Bring it back PUH–leeze!
They were idiots . We laugh at them when we see them. Even tha guy frm th clothing store sai they never even been in there before the show. A bunch of phonies. Losers of h Bronx would be better.
I love this show!! My whole family loves this show!! It is hilarious and TLC needs to stop being stupid and bring it back!! Hey TLC- how about a nice smack on the back of the head??
who would want to see a show about a bunch of 30 + boy who can’t grow up to be men
and our proud of it.
In today society we seem to forget what being a man is I can that borrowing money from women is not being a man being a women beater is not being a man and living at home in your thirties is not being a man, so who want to see that.what next the wife beaters of queens?
PUT THE SHOW BACK ON TLC! IT WAS PROBABLY ONE BAD APPLE OF A PRODUCER WHO DECIDED TO CANCEL IDIOTS! THESE GUYS ARE GOOD GUYS WITH BIG HEARTS. THIS TOPS “JERSEY SHORE” JERSEY SHORE WAS STUPID AND MINDLESS. IT WAS ALL ABOUT SEX, CHEATING AND FIGHTING. ALL OF US IN STATEN ISLAND WON’T EVER WATCH YOUR NETWORK IF YOU DON’T PUT ON “MAMA’S BOYS FROMTHE BRONX” GOT IT?!
I’m so glad they took this while off. I was raised on Arthur avenue and its disgusting to watch guts who are supposed to be men being born. I’m embarrassed to say these boys are part of my culture. I am a first generation Italian……raised there….and have more independence than these ridiculous wannabes. Ugh….what a stereotype and are making all Italian American guys look like they are all connected and all idiots. I feel sorry for any woman who actually thinks its fool to be involved with a man who can’t iron his own shirt or find his own toothpaste.… Read more »
