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’m so upset that they cancelled such a good show , maybe if we put a good show on a better T.V station perhaps MTV or BRAVO , you’ll see the ratings of this show shoot up sky high. Disappointed with TLC you guys just lost such a good show and a great cast. FATTO!
I enjoyed every minute of the show .
Haven’t you ever heard of a 2nd chance? Damn!!! TLC’s way too uptight!
At least give the Mama’s boys a chance to redeem themselves. Let them film what they know will get ratings and don’t interfere! All the other channels are kicking ass with reality shows, but ask yourself…”WHY”? Get it???
show was funny as hell bring it back!
LOVE IT!! BRING IT BACK!!!!!
i loved the show, but chip’s mom is a fake italian. she should have her own white trash show. did you see in episode one she had no bottom teeth and in episode two she has nice white teeth
Who wants to watch a show about sneaky bosses? Really? Got enough of that nonsense all day at work? I don’t know about you, but when I get home I don’t want to be reminded of some condescending creep who thinks he’s better than me just cuz he’s the boss. I’d rather cut loose like them Mama’s Boys up in the Bronx there. All real men are Mama’s boys at heart. If a man doesn’t love his mother first he makes a poor mate for a woman. A healthy man’s first love is his mother. A man without that foundation… Read more »
Obviously, TLC has forgotten that it began as “The Learning Channel”. Mama’s Boys From the Bronx was a great opportunity for people who are not from the Bronx to learn what a great and unique environment it was, is, and continues to be. We ourselves were both raised in the Bronx, and have come to realize that these men and their environment – the fabled Arthur Avenue – are to be treasured, promoted, and celebrated. Please, TLC, bring this show back. Make it less of a clown show and more of a travelogue through the lives and culture of the… Read more »
we liked it. they should show the last six episodes at least. fuggettaboutit
Tlc..u should let viewers know when something is cut short especially that its a new show. give them a chance you left us hanging…..!
I loved this show. Why would you pull a show after 2 episodes.? Ever hear of word of mouth? You should at the least air the episodes you shot and see if you can create some buzz. Let the public tell there peer group about your show.
hard to believe this show had lower ratings then some of your other shows. Really hard to believe.
Wtf tlc!!! U keep shows on about families with 20 some kids and midgets that want to reproduce but u take off a show that shows Italians and new York lifestyles?? My mom and I love this show! She is an Italian that was raised in queens village with aunts that lived on Hughes street and shopped on Arthur St. Give it a chance and bring it back!
I was wondering what happened toTLC “mammas boys of the Bronx”. I thought that show was hysterical and I miss it not being on TV this week. I hope they bring it back. I thought it was more entertaining than most of those bravo housewives shows which I got bored with.
U need to mommas boys From da bronx back on! Theres nothin but garbage on n u guys FINALLY put somethin good on n then cancel it to air more garbage! TLC sucks…ill neva watch ur garbage channel again!
