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?

I was so disappointed that Mama’s Boys was canceled. It was much better than some of the others that are on.
I loved this show (put it back on). I would run home from work to watch it. I even had the lines down “Ma your breakin my balls.” I love New York and this show!
TLC should bring this show back. This show brought a lot of memories back for me. My wife and I would just sit there and laugh so hard! I am from the Bronx and I grew up with guys who were just like that. I am very upset that TLC only gave them 2 weeks! You give all these other programs MONTHS and some of them are soooo stupid. We need to see entertaining and funny shows! Mama”s Boys from the Bronx was just that!!!
Great Show!!!! What’s wrong with you TLC? Give these guys a chance!!! I love the show..bring it back!!! We need more Mama’s Boys!!!!!!!
Bring it back!
