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?

“My Aunt, she’s always breaking my balls”. With Shakespearian dialogue like that, how could you cancel this show?

Why would you cancel such a good show. This was my show every Monday night . This was way better than jersey shore. Now these are some real Italians !!!! Bring the show back ;(
I found the show entertaining and am disappointed it was cancelled so quickly. Wish they would bring it back on the air.
Show was horrible, sucked big time. Thanks TLC!

I loved watching Mama Boys of the Bronx. I am from Queens, and now live in D.C., I told all my friends about the show because they love Italian-Americans. It is refreshing to know that these rugged guys are respectful, and love their mammas. TLC please put it back on the air.
it was awful!
Mama’s boys was the best
You should give it another chance

Bring back the Boy from the Bronx. Im a 51 yo Italian guy from Jersey and Im still a Moma’s Boy and Proud of it. Im Proud of those guys as well. They show that a man can be rugged, have style and love their Mothers too. There is nothing wrong with that.
Please bring the show back……and we agree with Tony – show the real-life culture/neighborhood life, not the bs you(TLC) thought would be interesting. Grew up with my boys in Scranton – very sim to Arthur Ave!
