Rico – Katy, TX

[Jewelsy]

Rico – Katy, TX

Erica owns her own advertising business and is dictator of her family. Ricardo, a spiritual man and the peacekeeper of the family, is also in the advertising business. The kids, Danielle and Ricky, love to play soccer, baseball and say they never lose -- because their mom won't let them. Ricky is a prankster and he loves to do impersonations of people. He also loves to read. Danielle follows in her father's more relaxed footsteps, but she's got her mother's genes and isn't afraid to use them.

The dad, daughter, and son seem likeable enough. The mother? Not so much.

[dagwood]

Gotta love an 8 year old whose road trip song is Crazy Tray by Ozzy.

[pfeifferdcat]

And a 13 year old who loves Lowrider!!! LOL!

I think I like this family and I doubt the mother is as bad as she seems, not with such awesome sounding kids. I wasn't going to watch this show now I may just check it out a couple of times now that I know the premise.

[Missyboxers]

The mom sounds like a piece of work. Dictator of the family...

[swordfish]

Don't most women think they dictate...she is probably pretty cool! The kid is cute too!

[Missyboxers]

I'm sure most do, but I'd be surprised if that's one of the first two things they announce to a television audience. That, plus the part about the kids never losing because their mom won't let them... sounds Type-A to me.

I was sad to see this family go. They had, IMO, a really good relationship with each other and their children. I wish they had managed to stay.
