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?

Whaaaaat? Are you kidding me? They cancel this show and bring in that other wak show? Sorry but it is….. Its boring and Mamas boys was hilarious. Bring it back Mamas Boys rules undercover boss drools.
I really loved Mommas Boys of the bronx, its really sux they cancelled the show. my favorite was frankie! they should really bring this show back! i still want to know waht happens next does paul finally get married??
I absolutely lovedthis show – and hope tht TLC has the good sense to bring it back. I want to find out what happened when Frankie had to figure out how to clean house while his mom as on vacation in Florida!!
I loved this show and was looking forward to watching it. Very entertaining and the “boys” are cute. I especially like Giovanni and wish that the show would continue. Hope TLC will at least broadcast those episodes that were not released.
I was waiting and waiting for the next episode only to find out it was cancelled. BOOOO!! Bring The SHow BACK!! >: /
PLEASE bring back MaMas Boys in the Bronx, shows so many wonderful memories……………
Undercover boss is rinse and repeat. Who cares if it has more viewers, the content is much more bland. If you want to tug at my heart strings then send a CEO from AT&T undercover. This was the only show I’ve ever watched with my mom and they cancelled it!? Shame on them.
BRING THE SHOW BACK!!!!!
agree!
Hi TLC
Very fuunny show!! A little rough as far as the Italian culture, but that’s ok. I feel that the remainder should show for sure. The acting is so funny, and be as it may – I have had friends just like those gentlemen.!!
Rock on Mamas Boys!!!

The show was great, it was exactly how I grew up in Pgh. You cancelled a good show!
I am African American and I loved the Boys from the Bronx. – it was real not like the other reality shows that are on now. It was homely and it was what it was. I found it entertaining and am shocked that you took it off the air. Can you please give it a chance. I went crazy looking for the show then to find out you cancelled it. P L E A S E
If living with momma, when your over 30 is part Italian manhood and tradition , I think God im form Irish decent.
Go ahead – base the entire culture on a funny TV show!! How sad.
This was the stupidest show I ever viewed. Glad it was cancelled.
I could not believe these characters existed. I found them totally entertaining and a reFreshing break from the petty arguements in other reality shows. TLC should do a better JOB OF PROMOTION or campaign and analyze it time slots. Ease bring it back don t FORGET ABOUT IT
As the Mamas boys would put it.

I am sooo disappointed to hear Momma ‘s boys from the Bronx is already off the air . I thought as a thirty-something yr old woman myself , that it was an honest take on italian culture in ” the bronx” . This show can DEFINITELY bring in ratings because its honest , refreshing , funny , and real . This is one DISAPPOINTED TLC fan , who hopes the show comes back on the air ASAP !!!!!
