MAIN Pop Culture Reality TV Growing up Gotti

Growing Up Gotti showcased the intimate family life of a Mafia Princess and her three teen aged sons. The Gotti hotties and their mom spent money, traveled and fought together in front of a viewer base that climbed as high as 3.2 million. Even with the cute Gotti boys viewer-ship on Monday evenings fell to just 800,000. A & E pulled the plug on the reality TV show at the end of 2005.

Loyal fans still miss looking forward to another season of exciting squabbles, delusional parenting and, of course, the ever-present subtitles. Thank goodness for subtitles. How did they understand each other???

Girls loved them... the Armani-clad, gelled-hair, tanned John Gotti Agnello, Carmine Gotti Agnello and Frank Gotti Agnello. They are the Gotti brothers - the New York version of royalty and scandal all rolled into one screaming and fighting bundle of Italian Stallion. Each one had their unique selling points, blue contacts and all...

Carmine Gotti Agnello, the oldest, was a shy and reserved 19 year old when the show aired. He opened a restaurant chain with younger brother John called Ciao Bella. He attended C.W. Post in New York.

John Gotti Agnello graduated from high school at the top of his class and headed off to college.

Frank Gotti Agnello, publisher of a diet book, opened a tanning salon called Gotti Tans. This kid is an entrepreneur in the making - who knows maybe we'll see him on the Apprentice one day.

The last season opened with a trip to Italy, where the brothers were challenged to rekindle the spirit and memory of their grandfather, Dapper Don John Gotti, Sr. The grandkids' fame preceded them in the Old Country where they were treated like celebrities...as their mother, Victoria Gotti dealt with the details of heart problems and a pre-cancer scare and the resulting media whirlwind in real life.

The end of the show did not end interest in the family. Fans still go online to catch photos and news on the Gotti boys and the shopping spree loving mom. While a few Gotti focused fan sites have disappeared, there are still places to spot the hotties...
