Growing Up Gotti

THE GROWING UP GOTTI BOYS -AND THEIR EYEBROWS- ARE COMING BACK!

We are FASCINATED by the news that the Gotti boys, John, Frank, and Carmine, are returning to TV for one night on A&E’s “Growing Up Gotti: Ten Years Later.” (Nov 10) Hard to believe it’s been ten years since we watched those Long Island teenagers arguing about their hair gel and eating like wild animals. Their accents were so thick that the series had subtitles to translate. The Gotti mansion was lost in a bank foreclosure so maybe we’ll find out where Victoria lives now. Two of the brothers have girlfriends and one is engaged. Can’t WAIT to find out what they do for a living!

Carmine Carmine Agnello Celebrity Apprentice Frankie Agnello Growing Up Gotti John Agnello Victoria Gotti

THE “GROWING UP GOTTI” BOYS ARE RETURNING TO TV AS MEN!

Yes, the Gottis are making a major TV comeback. Victoria Gotti is a contestant on “Celebrity Apprentice,” and her three sons have a new reality series tentatively titled “Made Men.” You might remember the boys from “Growing Up Gotti” which aired on A&E from 2004 to 5. At that time they were noted for their garish home, hair products use, and accents so thick that subtitles were mandatory. Carmine, John, and Frank are now 25, 24, and 22, respectively, and after assorted aborted career attempts, they are now running a metal recycling business in Queens and STILL LIVING WITH THEIR MOTHER Victoria. We wonder if the boys will be as appealing now that they’re older and hairier (except for the eyebrows………)

Growing Up Gotti Jersey Shore MTV

MTV’S “JERSEY SHORE” SEEMS LIKE A SPIN-OFF OF “GROWING UP GOTTI”

We needed something to fill the gap when “Growing Up Gotti” went off the air and now we have it: “Jersey Shore.” MTV put eight twentysomething Italians (four guys and four girls) from the New York area into a summer share at the Jersey shore, equipped with a hot tub and other amenities. It’s walking distance from the beach and bars, so these self-described “guidos” and “guidettes” just party all the time. One of the guys, Pauly D, even LOOKS like a Gotti with his gelled hair, fake tan, and gold jewelry. Like “Growing Up Gotti,” this show also has subtitles because there’s a lot of sloppy diction, but it’s fun to see how this subculture carries on.
