*steps up on soap box, clearing throat*  Ahem.....

I have occasion to watch 'Growing Up Gotti' last night.  I was disgusted.

Short little Momma Gotti, with her fake boobs and fake hair and fake lips and fake tan, strutting her stuff in a skirt that's too short for a woman her age and her size, complaining about any and everyone like she's Queen Turd of Shit Hill.  Her boys, the most obnoxious, ill-mannered, idiotic kids who have to have everything they say subtitled because they're so inarticulate...ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!  She just rubs me the wrong way, and her kids...well, I wrote an article about the lack of respect kids today show their elders, and they epitomize that.  They're rude, irreverent.... just horrid.  And who the hell is she, anyway?  Why is she famous?  Because of her dad? The 'teflon don', who died of throat cancer in a federal penitentiary? Who made a living coercing, killing and stealing from people? Yeah, that's something  to be proud of.  She writes for 'The Star' she says, she has a column and was whining about making her deadline.  Just for kicks, I checked it out today...it's 4 freakin' paragraphs.  of gossip.  My 11 year old could have written better.  There's no journalistic talent in what she does, she got the job because of her name (again).  The whole family makes me cringe.

Speaking of cringeworthy, I've been watching 'The Bounty Hunter' with that jackass 'Dog'...the one who runs 'Da Kine' out in Hawaii. (Dave likes to laugh at him, or else I wouldn't have it on the TV) He's a self-centered, vain, egotistical sucker, that's for sure.  Him and his crew, all dressed in black leather and fingerless gloves, looking like something out of 'Mad Max'....running around like they're federal agents.  99% of what they do, they do for show, and that's just not professional. He insists on giving his captives a lecture about how he;s only trying to help them, about how god sent him to help them...if I were the one in the back of his car I'd be tempted to tell him to shut the fuck up.  I'd tell him he got his man and is gonna get his money, and that I'm not here to listen to his BS.It makes me mad, all the crap he does...it gives the rest of his profession a bad name.  Here's a snippet of information you may not know...'Dog' is a convicted murderer.  He can't carry a gun when he goes out..perhaps that's why he's got such an overinflated ego.  He can't shoot at the fugitives, so he just bores them into submission with his posturing and vanity.

*steps down from soap box, satiated and empty*

here endeth todays rant.  Thanks for listening.

HAHA! I've heard radio commercials for both shows and I think I saw a spot for the dog on tv once. Both shows made it plain in just a few seconds of the ads that I wanted nothing to do with them. I tune in and tune out as much as the next guy and I watch some utter crap sometimes, but I have no interest in either of these shows... hopefully they will die quick ratings deaths...

Victoria Gotti does promotional stuff on an entertainment show, Extra and my god --the woman has so much plastic surgery she would melt in the sun. She tries to put on this "I'm just like everybody else" image. The Newlyweds is fun its own way, but Growing Up Gotti is too late on "famous families who are trainwrecks so watch and laugh" trend.

I watched that Gotti show when I was in the US, I didn't understand one bit of what it is supposed to be about. The whole Gotti family seem like such horrid people, what or who are they suppose to be? Is this a reality show or a comedy? I don't get it or any humor that is supposed to come out of it. And I am quite a fan of reality shows.

These "reality" shows are getting out of hand. It's a sad statement about what passes for entertainment these days. If i wanna see white trash of this caliber...I'll drive down to Wal-mart!

I am seriously dissappointed with A&E.

I have never watched "The Dog" but I caught the Gotti show once and couldn't believe my eyes.  Just shows you don't have to have a brain to have money.  Those kids are absolute monsters!  She ought to get some "guys" to beat some respect into those spoiled, immature creaps she calls sons.  The whole show I saw was her whining about how tough her life is and yelling at her kids.  They call that entertainment?

Just shows you don't have to have a brain to have money.

Nope.  The Gotti's were last in line when brains were given out.  She acts like she some kind of matriarch, but she has no control over those kids at all.  I saw the episode where she's trying to sell the house, and there are people there doing a walk-through - the boys are acting like total assholes, knocking things over, running around yelling and screaming... all because they didn't want her to sell the house.  And vain...oh my are those people vain!  She must have had collagen in her lips recently, because she looked like she had been stung by a swarm of angry bees yesterday!  One of the boys plucks/waxes his eyebrows, and their hair - the one who has his brows done looks like he has a bulb of garlic on his head.

Grrr....it makes me mad just thinking about them!

Is this a reality show or a comedy?

I think it's supposed to be a reality...but she takes herself so seriously it becomes a comedy.

What, looking like this isn't OK?

I have not seen either show, and can't say that I am interested. Now that I read this I know I don't even want to waste that half hour of my life..

LW~ I LOVE king of the hill.. gosh that show cracks me up!

I'm so lost when I read these articles, having never watched any reality TV except one episode of American Idol (a 'bad singers' ep) and one half episode of Fear Factor (garbage).

And your just jelous that you don't live the rich and famous lifestyle that they do.

Yeah, I'm jealous all right.....you hit the nail on the head with that one (that's sarcasm, in case you're wondering. You might want to look it up in the dictionary when you're practicing your other spelling words)

I hope they don't dee it and get they're mob friends on you


Oooh, I'm scared now....!

cause that's just low to talk about someone's father like that if you didn't know him and because he died and because of where he died.


Perhaps you should go read about what John Gotti Sr did before you start making allegations of 'low'ness.

I'm so lost when I read these articles, having never watched any reality TV


You haven't missed much, Myrr.....

You think "Growing up Gotti" is bad, try suffering through an episode of "BAM" on MTV, or "Gastineu Girls" on E!, or "The Surreal Life" on VH1.

They all lack any redeeming quality ( other than attracting equally tasteless sponsors ) and must be on the air due to the low cost of production...

I'd rather watch the Hitler Channel ( oops, I mean History Channel ) or a marathon showing of Iron Chef while enduring chinese water torture than suffering through a single episode of "Reality TV"
