They said it this week when the "Paranelli" family were the grand marshalls of the Disneyland parade. But I wasn't sure how to spell it, so I left it out of the recap. Thanks Familyrulez.

It's Perinelli.

Yep, realitytvbuff has it spelled right. At least according to Google.

And according to Google, Aunt Donna took a leave of absence without pay from January 23 through February 19 of this year. Presumably for the taping of this show.

Despite that, Shapiro says his California-based Shapiro/Grodner Productions team specifically sought middle-class families from New Jersey and New York last year while casting for its ABC reality show The Family. It selected Manalapan residents Michael Perinelli Sr., his wife, Donna, and their son, Anthony, along with seven members of their extended family, mostly from New York. The show put them up in a Palm Beach, Florida, mansion to compete for a $1 million trust fund. The program aired for three episodes in March before it was temporarily shelved in deference to a reality show of far greater consequence: coverage of the war in Iraq. The network ran The Family this summer; the winner hadn’t been revealed by press time.
