Growing Up Gotti (2004–2005)
Give It A Chance Before Writing it Off
14 July 2005
Warning: Spoilers
I think that this show is good. Why do people have so much against this family? Who do you people think you are? If you actually watch this show with an open mind before writing it off as a vain mother and her three spoiled sons, you'll see it's actually a sweet and funny show about a crazy family.

I once read someone on this website say that Victoria Gotti cares about no one but herself. Are you serious? She helps many people: that elderly woman who had burglars breaking into her house, her family member/friend with her divorce, and numerous other times. She's just a regular wealthy, American-Italian single working mother. The only difference is her father was well known and she has cameras following her around.

Her sons don't seem vain to me. Maybe I'm blinded by their good looks, or the funny things they say (and scream) to each other. But to me, her sons are just teenage boys, again, like any other American-Italian New York teenagers. Frank just wrote a diet book and he confides he's still self conscious about himself. How does this come off as vain? Sure, the family may be a little kooky. But, honestly, who's isn't? The only reason I can see you automatically turning this show off is because you can't stand New York accents. Otherwise, when you're flipping through the channels, don't say, "Oh, those people are so vain and annoying, I can't watch that." Instead say, "Maybe this will be a good laugh." I used to hate Growing Up Gotti until I watched the show and realized I laughed pretty hard through most of it. This goes with all shows: don't write them off before YOU yourself watch them.
