Reality Show Alert: Mob Wives



Adding to the list of new reality shows is Mob Wives, which premiered this past Sunday on VH1. 
For those of you who missed it, the show follows around several women from Staten Island, who are married or related to men serving jail time for mob-related crimes. 

The cast includes Karen Gravano, who is the daughter of Sammy “The Bull” Gravano, the mobster who took down John Gotti. There is also Renee Graziano, Carla Facciolo, and Drite D’Avanzo, who all have family members serving jail time. 

If you thought Jersey Shore and the Real Housewives of New Jersey was a bad stereotype of Italian Americans, wait till you see Mob Wives!  It seems like New York’s most hated borough will have even more of a reason to be hated. 

While the show is completely outrageous and trashy, it is like a car accident… you just can’t look away. According to an article from EW.com, “This floridly funny, vicariously vicious reality series exerts a vulgar charm. It’s like watching a cross between The Sopranos and The Real Housewives of New Jersey.” 

It airs Sunday’s at 8/7c on VH1.
