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 loved the show, it was natural and funny. And real.
LOVED it! I was wondering what happened to this show!?
I come from an Italian family and can relate. This show was hilarious, and I couldn’t wait for Monday nights. Hope to see it back TLC……
BRING IT BACK. LOVED MOMMAS BOYS FROM THE BRONX!! ENOUGH WITHTHE BRIDAL SHOWS! THIS WAS HYSTERICAL!
Bring back the show already. We’re tired of all your same repeats. How about some repeats of Mamas Boys.
put show back on
Yes finish airing the show!! It’s so annoying to start watching a program and before ir catches on it’s cancelled !!!
I think they are spoiled brats. However I do have a soft spot for Italian Guys
The show was great!!! I’ve looked for it since it was on and couldn’t find it. Looked on the internet and read it was cancelled. It would have been nice to see more. 2 episodes were not enough!!!!
Please..if we have to put up with the Kardashians…why can’t we have a show that shows a real American neighborhood and a great culture..
I am Italian, and it’s an insult to him that this show was cancelled. I always enjoyed watching the show with my wife. Not all Italian men live at homw with their mom’s, but it does show what Italian’s are like. Please bring the show back.
Loved it!!! Put it back on!!!!!
I live on “Morris Park Avenue”, in the Bronx, for 45 year’s. Mostly Italian neighborhood – and none of my friend’s, or my family, acted like these guy’s. Two of them do not live in the “Arthur Ave” Neighborhood. Everyone – I grew up with has a lot of Class and Good Character. We all love our Mom’s but, don’t live with them, or embarrass them, on national TV. I’am Happy it’s off the air, and were not portrayed as” Moma’s Idiots” here in the BRONX!!! Garutz !
Give it a chance……..two shows aren’t good enough. Iam italian from Canada and i was always looking foward to watching it every monday and even told my friends to watch it but tlc cancelled it before we could even blink! Stop putting hoes on and put something real……
Was a great show. Let them show their real Italian lifestyle and culture, not what TLC thinks will get ratings.
I watched the first two weeks and was hoping to see more.
BRING BACK THE BOYS I LOVE THAT SHOW IT MADE ME HAPPY TO SEE SO MUCH LOVE FOR THEIR MAMA’S. TAKE OFF SISTER WIVES, DUMB SHOWS LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
