| Am I getting old when I start thinking that a major ethical line has been crossed when a family who's fortune is built on blood and drugs gets rewarded with MORE money to do a reality show? Or even if A&E pays badly, some free P.R.?

| I also kinda find this in bad taste. I think that there are way too many people glamourizing organized crime. While they weren't directly resonsible for any criminal activity, they most certainly have already benefited from it. I don't think that they should become celebrities because of it. I won't be watching.

| I'm sure the whole draw to this show is that it's like real life Sopranos but seriously watching a ficticious show and watching real life are 2 separate things. Then again, people will probably complain if the Gotti show isn't real enough.

| In all honesty, I was surprised that A&E would be putting this on. Seems more like a FOX thing to me. I kind of had that cringing feeling when I realized it was A&E, like when you think about your parents in bed together aaccckkkkk....now can't get that image out of my head! ![]() | |

| Okie, in my earlier post I said that I thought the draw to watching the show was because of the Sopranos. Today on my way to work I heard a radio advertisement for this show and Victoria Gotti said she's so sick of being compared to that show and she didn't sound happy. I would like to recant my previous statement and I'm certain people want to watch the show for it's entertainment value. Honest.

| Other than the obvious connection to the Mob (via family) it also seems like a show about a working, single woman who has challenges raising three teen boys and how those boys try every angle to do what they want. |

| I am totally outraged that A&E would glorify a murderous Mafia Family like John Gotti....This is a new low for TV.... |
