That new show on A&E "Growing up Gotti" is the worst disgrace of a name I have ever seen. His grandsons are spoiled, screaming, disrespectful little shits. If he was still alive (God rest his soul) he would knock the Sicilian right outta those punks. Also, he wouldn't have a TV show on national TV that is nothing more than an exploitation of an honorable family's name. Shame on you, Victoria and sons. You are breaking the rule of omerta.

Honourable? Nope, whatever honour the family had, good ole Johnny himself trampled it into the mud.
But I do agree, the show is utter filth.

Ha!! Well said, Jim.

I agree that show is filth. It's disrepectful to the Gotti name.

Did I just see a really good send-up of Growing Up Gotti on Saturday Night Live last weekend? (...and a walk-on by James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano...)

tony b.

I don't know...did you?


lol jk it was great!

So the show's called "Growing Up Gotti."

First of all, they're not technically Gottis.

Secondly, I'm still waiting for the part where they actually grow up. (All four of them, Victoria included.) :rolleyes:

So tell me, how did they come up with this name for the show??

If I'm not mistaken, Gotti was Neapolitan, not Sicilian.

Yeah, they are not sicilian at all. In the movie "Gotti" there is a scene which an FBI Agent tells the rest of the agents that Gotti is Neapolitan. Also, Gotti calls Castellano 'an incompetent sicilian ass.'

Thats probley why he whacked him

i don't know about how good or bad this show is, but did anyone see the one episode where they went to the hotel, i forget where, and they played a practical joke on the one guy, and when all the kids got caught by hotel security, they blamed the one guy who was supposed to be chapperoning them (sorry i dont remember any names here.)

anyway, Victoria then had the one guy call him up and act like he was Peter Gotti, her brother, who, at the time, was the Boss of the Gambino family. I thought it was really funny that they were showing this guy get threatened by who he thought was the Boss of the Gambino family on national television. the look on his face made me crack up.

Gotti was Sicilian. I like the shoe, its interesting but disgracful

I know you can be Sicilian or Nepolitian (what ever) but whats it called when you from the south

John Gotti was Neopolitan, not Sicilian, but basically all of the southern half of Italy... and a lot of the north outside of Rome and the Vatican, are the same people... so that detail isn't very important.

The "Gotti kids" aren't Gottis, and they sure as hell don't act like Italians.

why arent they italian? cause they werent born in Italy? that still makes them of Italian orgin, and they definetly dont act italian, but some would argue niether did John Gotti

Would anyone agree with me, when i say Victoria Gotti isa very good looking older women

Um, no. She is nasty looking just like the women depicted in "Goodfellas": too much make-up and poor taste in clothes.

And why is a tv network depicting a storyline based upon the name of a convicted murderer? What's next: O.J.'s kids having a show or Charles Manson's family doing a cooking show? Why are we glorifying murderers on television?

Probably why this show got on the air(other than this "reality" craze TV is in)is because a lot of people expected the "Gotti kids" to be little wiseguys, insted theyre spoiler wiggers.

she wears to much make-up, but natural beuty her face is nice, dress like a slut but she's good looking. I think two of the kids are dipshits the oldest one, Carmine he seems like a pretty cool kid

Big discrace to this thing were in... I can't believe that any 1 hasn't gotten to her yet or has shut this fucker down... Simply amazing you know... What a shame for John (R.I.P.) and the REAL Gotti family members to go throught...

im with ya there, unreal....

its on for a secound season so it must have some type of market

So, hold on, are the kids from Growing Up Gotti direct desendents of John or not? And if they are, the look a little old to be John's grandson and they definately aren't his sons.

there his grandsons, Victoria there mother is John Gotti's daughter.
