Mama's Boys Of The Bronx

Well, as certain shows are coming to an end (like The Shahs Of Sunset) I have to find myself another  group of individuals to get hooked on and I think I've found them. The very animated cast of TLC's Mama's Boys Of The Bronx wins hand down.

Mama's Boys follows a group of thirty-something Italian-American men who proudly still live at home. While I find men in their twenties still living at home more normal than men in their thirties, I can find something endearing about a grown child, who works and seems to have a life, that enjoys their family so much that they love living at home. Given the state of the economy in the past couple of years it almost makes sense. Hopefully, these "boys" are helping pay Mama's mortgage and electrical bill. Especially with all the laundry some of them are doing.

There are five Mama's Boys:  Anthony, Frankie, Giovanni, Peter and Chip. Someone please tell me Chip is a nickname for "Chip off the old block," or short for chocolate chip because he loves the cookies or because he tans so much. I'm having hard time getting used to that name. Especially since Chip looks like he should be a Vinnie, Mike or Joe. And is it me or does he look like Joe Giudice on steroids?  Even if his name throws me for a loop I think he's comical.

I don't have a favorite Mama's Boy quite yet since I've only seen two episodes since it premiered on Monday, but I do know the show is grabbing my attention and I can't quite figure out why. Maybe it's because they are Italian? Maybe it's because I can see similarities in their mom's from women in my family and my husbands family? Maybe because it's a train wreck and we all know those are hard to look away from.

I'm sure most people will find it hard to relate to grown men relying on their doting mothers for everything to make their lives run smoothly. But I think some of you can secretly relate. Whether it's your brother, cousin or that uncle who gets treated differently. You know someone like these guys even if they don't live at home anymore. And you know a mother who still treats her grown son like the Mama's on the show even if their son has his own place. Heck, my own mother used to go visit my brother just to clean his house! Oh yes, it happened and she had every excuse in the book why she would do that for him but not me!

I can't promise this show will change your life, because it shouldn't. It is a reality TV show created to entertain the audience. The men and their mothers are not representatives of all Italian-Americans and I hope you don't think that. They are simply fun to watch. Their accents, mannerisms and style are over the top but that's what makes them who they are and fun to watch.

So what are you waiting for? Get to know the Mama's Boys Of The Bronx. They will grow on you. (Or annoy the hell out of you, but you know you are still watching.) What do you think about this show? Do you have a favorite Mama's Boy? Leave a comment!

Mama's Boys Of The Bronx airs on TLC Monday's 10/9c.
