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?

This is ridiculous! I just started to love the show and was wondering why it didnt air this week. TLC put it back on the air!!! It was hysterical!!
-sad Italian girl
Let’s all boycott TLC and hope another network picks up the show.
Bring back the Mamas boys…..the word got out and the were really getting quite a following. More and more people were going to watch it this week and you yanked. Some other station please pick this show up. You won’t be sorry.
How can TLC show four episodes of this heartwarming comedy reality series, get us hooked, and then yank it off the air suddenly without any notice. You should think twice about which shows you cancel and what garbage you continue to air. Mamas Boys brought to TLC and your cancellation of the show will take me away. I will also encourage friends and family to boycott your network.
but tlc shows toddlers and tiaras which is bad they allow children to look like grown hookers not a young 3 year old they give em fake teeth fake tans and most of all a real bad attitude WOW bring back the boys
Everyone loves to watch a train wreck , and these idiots are just that ! Hard to watch but I found myself wanting more .
Loved Mama’s Boys, even my husband loved watching it. Just pisses me off that TLC keeps shows like Toddlers & Tiaras or Undercover Bosses, bring it back TLC trust me maybe you should try an earlier time slot or different day. Have to say I only turned TLC on to watch this show because most of the shows totally creep me out on this station so bring it back TLC!!!
