None of these women have big enough hair for me.

I don't even know what to say about this. lol Everything you note in the 'review' is spot-on. I'm an Italian Jersey girl and I'm always insulted by these frigin mal-formed apes (See: Growing up Gotti) parading around as wiseguys. "Hey, my grandfather was in the mob! That gives me an unentitled sense of authority!" I'm sick of the glorification of the mafia (helped in no small part by The Sopranos, a show i still haven't seen). And I hate that Italian-American has become synonymous with guido. (At least in NJ) Let's not even get into the Jersey Shore and Long Island!

I can see the entertainment value if these 'characters' aren't the norm in one's life. But after you grow up with them, go to high school with them, are related to them, vacation with them, it's just tired. It's funny when it's JUST a crazy uncle or JUST this new kid who just transferred from Bada-Bing-ville NY...

I just think it's time to stop promoting the 'greezball' persona so consistently.

Jenna, I recommend The Sopranos, despite the 'mob glorification' of it. It was a very, very smart show (unlike The Real Housewives series) -- to good to be ignored.

i dont understand how they even do a show w these people.tiny manzo was a murderer ,so his money is dirty these people are really low for saying is not true sppecially caroline.yea enjoy your money and happines while some bodys son or father is dad from tiny great?shame on all of you

According to the reunion show Caroline "doesn't understand" how Tiny died? Apparently she's the only one who can't put two plus two together. He was a partner in business with a made man in the Gambino family, they both were accused of skimming from a casino, and they both died of sudden lead poisoning.

Wow your hatefull. Regardless of the manzos family mob connections this show wasn't about that .the housewives is about drama its what u should expect .people néed to spend there time on other things than herting a family that lost a love one . I love the manzo family they seem like an amazingly closs family . If u have nothing nice to say change the channel don't watch I know I'm going to watch every episode
