Well, we knew this was going to happen. Just in time for Bravo’s Sunday night problem, they have finally hammered out the details for a one hour special with Stay at Home Dad, Joe Giudice and his four daughters. Supposedly, there is something in the contract for the possibility of more shows. Um, Bravo. How stupid are you really? The possibility of more shows? Like if it pulls in more ratings than reruns of Secrets & Wives? Seriously? MAKE ALL THE EPISODES YOU CAN! MAKE EPISODES TO AIR UNTIL THE JAILBIRD WIFE GETS OUT OF PRISON. Are you out of your mind? This is ratings gold. We will ALL tune in. I get thinking that Joe might suck at this. But really, no matter what he does, we will watch.
Filming began earlier this month. If they are smart they will get this up on Sunday nights ASAP. 
Joe has had his hands full with the girls’ packed schedules, which include playdates, cheer practice, and soccer tournaments, among other things.
“Days go by quick,” he told Us. “They go to school, they come back, they do their homework. Who’s gotta go here? Who’s gotta go there?”
Teresa, 42, pitches in via email, but her absence is definitely felt by their kids. “They have their little breakdowns here and there,” Joe admitted of his daughters. “They’ll say, ‘Daddy, when’s she going to be out?’ Or ‘I miss Mommy.’ I just make sure to give them lots of love and a lot of kisses.”
I wonder how all of these play dates, cheer practices, soccer games and prison visits are being handled with Joe’s license suspended. Last I heard he is not even allow to drive to the end of the driveway. Oh please show them coming and going from a visit with Tre. I hope this is true. The whole “one hour special” thing has me concerned that US is just fucking with us. This shit should be on three times a week and twice on Sundays.
Thoughts?
Hallelujah! I want to watch that NOW!
You are absolutely CORRECT; this would be a ratings goldmine! I do not watch any Bravo shows because I read your posts but I think I would tune in for this show.
My thoughts are that I will hate myself for watching someone’s misery, but watch it I shall, & with relish!
It’s going to be a ratings BONANZA. Haters and Tre-huggers both will be watching.

You should be some kind of consultant for Bravo. Seriously.
I agree, TY needs to produce one of these shows, ASAP.
Sorry, TT not TY. My apologies.
I can’t un see Joe without his shirt! This is worse than Bones. 🙂 Does he think that is sexy?! UGH!! I hope he keeps his shirt on during the special
Thanks for all the articles, you have been busy!
Again I say Bravo should be paying you. You are helping their ratings 🙂
Nope. Can’t do it. But I’ll read the shit outta your take on it.
Same here.
heck no, I’m IN. If Bravo doesn’t do a shitload of these they are beyond stupid because we will all watch, fans or not. When would this air? I’m guessing fall so it ends right around the time the cellmate switch happens between mummy and daddy? yea!
FELONS BY BRAVO. If only we could get a camera in on Apollo and Tre… and later Juicy. I would so be a great producer on The Bachelor. I could be the girl on UNREAL with less of a conscious. These people are shit people and any money the show makes will go to restitution.

My exact thoughts.
Exploit your children for work day.
Agreed.
Hopefully we will see Rosie, she and Joe was funny together. I would think Joe’s SIL, Sheila has been a big help,
It has to be better than Kandis Ski Trip, please quit rerunning it.
I NEED THIS STAT! Omg ratings bling!
I will watch. At least he’s funny.
I will not be tuning in to any more dreck from the guidices. Yuck.
Can’t wait, hurry up and start already!
What the hell is wrong with you people who want to watch these neanderthals grunt over pizza.
We’re hate watchers! Plus they are both so dumb it’s kind of funny.

I hope they give them the hate/disdain edit, since Guidices are too dumb to really get it. And the Guidices need bravos money as much as bravo needs ratings.
Neanderthals do not deserve such a comment.
Maisey, you are right, I should not have slandered neanderthals in such a way.
I will watch. I nominate TT to take over whatever Andy’s old job was! TT knows what we want and what we like! Bravo ratings would definitely go back up.
Someone from Child Protective Services should step in and put an immediate stop to the shameless exploitation of these children at a time when they are so emotionally vulnerable. Oh, wait, there are no adults in their lives who don’t profit from the public/drama chaos.
So let’s exploit them! I hope they teach them to fake cry on the way home from the prison!

We can count on Andy. He surely has “Fake Cry Coaches” on speed-dial and retainers!
I agree, I hope CPS gets involved, these children have no one to protect them. Their parents should pay, not their children. To show them in pain and crying opens them up to ridicule and bullying which could follow them all the way through school. Children can be so cruel, once their weakness is discovered; I cringe to think of their lives
I see this show as a precursor to welcome Teresa back & introduce a show focused on her & the girls. Isn’t that what she’s been wanting for years? Since season 1 she’s been wanting Gia to be a star, so why not the others. If she can’t get them in a movie & no kid’s network is interested, let’s exploit them on Bravo (besides it’s about time they start pulling their weight)!
Disgusting in so many ways, I cannot begin to count. I’m usually not one to get on a moral high horse but I will not watch. It is one thing to watch women act like fools and display their catty behavior.
HOWEVER, I will not watch because #1 I think Joe and Teresa are tards. They are dumb and cannot even speak on a 5th grade level. #2 They are criminals and their entire life is built on lies and scams. And #3 I do not want to see children on TV suffering because they have the misfortune of having two moron scheming criminals as parents.
HELL to the NO. I will not watch this trash. I love me some trashy TV, but this trash is too much. Even for me. Euw.
Sue me. I love Dance Moms. Children suffering is ok by me. 🙂

You’re making me laugh out loud before coffee. Lawd have mercy!
It’s hard to see the Guidice girls as suffering when they act so obnoxious, disrespectful, and have no discipline to speak of (as in, positive discipline not the spanking shit). Tre and Juicy could take some patenting lessons from Kyle and Mauricio, their girls (especially little Portia) are so well behaved. In an overall way, I think the Juicy girls are being screwed over by their parents, but that doesn’t excuse letting them do and say whatever they want, whenever. I’ve seen Milania mouth off to the crew more than once while Tre just laughs it off. These people are disgusting on several levels.
Portia has turned into an entitled, spoiled brat but the rest of Kyle’s kids seem really happy & nice. >
I am disgusted with their excessive indulgences that put them in this place. I feel bad for the daughters, but the parents hurt their daughters by their decisions
What about the children?! Won’t somebody please think of the children?!
Look, the children are already saddled with these mouth breathers for parents. This special can’t do much more harm than what’s already been done. Please don’t forget that Theresa and Joe are convicted criminals.
That being said: I won’t be making an appointment with my TV for this.
Exactly. Children are starving and being sold into slavery. Watching them suffer because their parents are felonious fuckwits is a first world problem.

Boom. This is what I’m talkin’ about!
I know I will read the reviews but I just can’t watch it. I am not a fan of Joe. He just bugs me and I don’t want to see those little girls sad. They might be spoiled but they didn’t choose their parents’ huge mistakes. I hope they don’t get screwed up from all of this. They deserve a happy future.
Juicy Joe should be spending his remaining freedom setting up some kind of life for his family in Italy, cuz when he finishes his turn in the Pen it will be SAYONARA, JUICY!!!! Or does he intend to ride off into the sunset with some Italian Tootsie? Maybe he can invest some of his ill-gotten gains which we all know has stashed away somewhere- in some Italian Real Estate (teeeheeeee). Instead of weaseling a spinoff show out of bravo, these two piss-poor excuses for parents should try to make a fresh start for his spoiled kids. Face it, you felon, your American Dream is over. CAIO, BABY!
Well Bravo helped create this Beastly situation. Minds well, eh?!
Not sure how Bravo helping in creating this situation-weren’t most of the charges related to choices they made long before they were on the TV Show? Everything was just magnified because they’re, “Reality Stars”.
Cosign what TT said.
Wow Joe got fooled making to believe his arrogant and stupid but he is a smart genius. In my head i can see him pulling on the cigar and laughing at us for hating. I am lying to myself i will not be watching but its sound juicy. I wish Phae Phae could show some vulnerability and jump down her might horse
I’ll watch it & hate them & hate myself for watching it. So much hate to go around.
Me too, Lady! In fact, I feel that way most of the time when I watch any Bravo show. I feel ya!
No way is this story true. A “source” said. Yea, right. Joe is so dumb and inarticulate, he can’t (or won’t) even do talking head interviews on RHONJ. And of course he can’t drive, so what are they filming? Scenes of him at home drinking? Scenes of the girls when they come home from school, playing or horsing around or e-mailing Teresa? Riveting. Not. Exploitive. Yes. No way is this going down.
Yet another train wreck I can’t look away from.
Hopefully, some screwed creditors get some money back from this.
Sorry DJ …. I missed your comment which had my same sentiment!
With ya on the train wreck aspect. May not be able to watch, but the recaps will be must read.
Yes the Giudice children are in an unfortunate situation, but I feel much sorrier for those kids whose Moms find it necessary to have paternity tests on television. That should be outlawed until all parties involved (effected) are the age of consent.
Yeah I know some may not find out soon enough otherwise because of the cost involved.
Oh yes please Bravo! Hurry up because I’m missing me so Juicy Joe. And I miss Milania and her obnoxious behaviour. Make sure it’s a full hour unlike Manzo’d with children. Please, please, please follow the show up with Gia’s show about her girl band. That would make my Sunday night viewing so ever more enjoyable!
(Sarcasm)
Without reading any of the other comments, I will say it again. I am sick and tired of people making a shit ton of money for being criminals. What a fucked up message this sends
Totally agree. Couldn’t pay me to watch this.
On a positive note, this special and maybe others will provide some money to pay back the people Joe and Teresa stiffed.
I think it’s a little sad to exploit the girls pain like this, but they grew up filming and probably miss it a little. If it makes the girls happy and brings them a positive distraction than I’m happy for that. Fuck Joe and Fuck Teresa. I’m not sure if I’ll watch. I’m can’t really stomach the parents.
Tamera…you are hilarious “This shit should be on three times a week and twice on Sundays”….lololol…hahahah…I needed that. Thanks!!
How is joee paying the bills if he not working
I think they should be live-streamed around the clock, ’til Tre is home! I’m in!
Jerry Springer move over, Bravo is taking over.
I have no interest in watching to provide criminals more money , either folks charged or yet to be charged (yes Atlanta I’m waiting for the shoe to drop).
Bravo used to be fun cause it was a mix of “life styles of the rich and famous” and a little day time soaps. Now it is a mix of “Criminal Minds” and “Jerry Springer”.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Joe is a good, loving Dad to his girls while Tre is “away” and is actually learning to be a better person in the process? Or are you guys just hoping to see Joe act like the “mouthbreathing, dumb, inarticulate, tard, criminal,felon” that you all think he is?
Hmmm…….starting our day with a rhetorical question, are we?
I dreamed of this last night! Joe is a pig, tre is a moron with a mean streak, but I’ve missed them. Bring on Rosie and joe making a steak and drinking whiskey, Melissa micro managing bead making time, aunt Dina sitting Buddhist shiva, Jaq making the occasional visit with Chris, perhaps they can sublet the attic now, Carolyn paddling around screaming about the ham game gone wrong (surely if anyone throws ham slices on kitchen cabinets it’s this family), hell even Danielle could swing by and talk about these women’s. I’ll be watching with glee.
Yep! That is EXACTLY what he is!
I live in Jersey and there have been pics in various papers of Joe driving. What kills me is the times they’ve shown the kids in the car with Tre without a car seat or seat belts. I can live without the car seat-we didn’t have them when we were kids but no seat belt?? People in Jersey drive like maniacs.
He probably figures WTF could they possibly do to me at this point. Tack on couple of more months to my jail time?
Ratings gold. I will watch. And I HATE Bravo. Ratings goldddd!
Also, the interest will swell because there was always talk of him not wanting to spend time with his kids or even, sadly, being mean to them. That was revealed by his useless brother-in-law.
Ick. Can’t stand these people. I was hoping these two would fade away into obscurity where they belong but no such luck. Instead they are rewarded with TV shows and magazine articles. I admit to watching a ton of mind numbing reality shit but can’t do this one.
Gee…A Narcissistic parent, exploiting daughters on TV? It worked for the Kardashians, why not Joe? People say they won’t watch. But, they will.
I’m for sure tuning in. Milania ( spelled wrong I’m sure) is a hoot. Can’t wait to see her in actio with Joe. A dad handling 4 girls should be pretty funny. Aside from the fact that he’s a criminal jerk of coarse and quite possibly a cheater. None of which will be focused on I’m sure.
Since Joe’s unable to drive, I’m anticipating footage of the 4 girls piled into a Flintstone mobile with Joe running them down the driveway to meet the bus.
I’m thinking Joe has Uber on speed dial. Joe kinda has that Flintstone quality only Fred and Barny are classier. Please Hannah Barbara bring us the Real Housewives of Bedrock.
I think Joe’s sister is the main one taking care of the girls. But Joe probably does have Uber on speed dial to take him to all the strip clubs and dinners with his female friends.

So Theresa’s Joe has been getting juiced?
What a hot mess. Meanwhile, did you all see they finally moved Bobbi K to hospice? TT, your thoughts are eagerly awaited.
The kids have already been damaged, if they were ever going to be. It was only a matter of time before all or part of the family was back on TV. The viewers made them popular. People like to see the mighty fall. Not that Joe was mighty, but Teresa might have got there in the unreality world.
When you see a lifestyle too big to be true, it probably is. A whole lot of seemingly rich people got at least their start by shady means. I am not condoning short cuts, but hard work, brains, and scruples, are, unfortunately, an unlikely combination for success.
A couple of months ago, I was watching some reality show that I thought the guy made Joe G look good. Too bad I forget what show now.
I don’t think the more banal reality shows like The Little People, and others now axed, will be helping their kids in the long run, except maybe financially. Young actors are often messed up, what chance do reality kids then have?
I will watch, only to see what wonderful things about Juicy come out of Milania’s mouth
I would definitely watch it.
Just a thought – if they are featured in a special or limited number of specials, wouldn’t that technically skirt any child labor issues? If there was a regular series (let’s say..Children of Felons of New Jersey), then they would have to adhere to regular work schedules and therefore child labor laws would kick in, AND they would have to be paid (or their trust would). As a series of specials..excuse me…a limited number of special episodes of a non fiction documentary, then Joe would, in theory, be the sole beneficiary of the payment and sign the kids off legally with a simple “permission to film” form.
All the folks who refuse to watch criminals on TV: Do you vet the criminal records of all the actors and entertainers you watch? I am sure I have been entertained by masses of people with questionable scruples and checkered pasts. Alcoholics, drug addicts, rapists, abusers, Scientologists, murderers, tax evaders, more have graced our small and big screens since the beginning.
Ok, that’s my longwinded justification for why I will be tuning in. But aren’t they losing the house??
If we’re lucky we may see the actual eviction! 🙂 Kidding. Sort of.

If things were right in this world, we would see them filming from that apartment above the pizza shop that so offended Teresa’s refined sensibilities. Alas…
Who said they refuse to watch criminals on TV? I’m addicted to the ID channel. I watch criminals and hope they go to prison. Are you one of those Trehuggers? Like, she could come out wearing freshly skinned kittens and you would go our and buy the gloves?
Kittens would make awesome gloves. And we do have a cat overpopulation problem…I have man hands though, so I’d have to have mine made custom.

Wow, you deduced all that from my post? Clearly, I didn’t realize I was a) targeting YOU; b) expressing love for Teresa Guidice, and c) that I have any affinity for cats of any age. 🙂 Go on with your bad self.
We watch because its schadenfreudeporn.
wow, I now have an answer for all the people in my life who question why I watch reality tv
For the love of God-those kids aren’t cute or funny. They are brats, (except the little one who looks like her Nonna) or filming made them so? I have raised 3 adult Ital Americans who do not disrespect, and they understand the sacrifices those before them made. All educated, grounded and NO snot. That said, Joe and his recollections of his parents is a lost art. He and Rosie drunk were fabulous. The whole lot? Can’t we do better? I watch grown women make asses of themselves on R TV, but I sure as hell am not going to watch children who will be left without a foundation, later in life. We can’t jail parents for this. God bless America.
Who or what is to blame for the way Teresa and Joe live their lives? They were children once. What fucked them up and gave them the seed of greed? Why should we expect their kids to turn out different than them whether on TV or not?
I look forward to your commentary on the first special. Watching little girls miss their mama would probably be my undoing, so I’ll skip. But I’d like to see Joe cry. Yeah, I feel a twinge of guilt typing such. Which is probably more guilt than his slimy crooked butt has ever felt.
I like Joe because he only has 3 answers he uses to ANY question posed to him:
“Whattaya goin’ do?”
“What can I say”
“it is what it is”
Always said with a shrug of the shoulder and no eye contact. NO MATTER WHAT THE QUESTION IS.
I have now adopted this approach in my own life and find it very effective. Makes everything much simpler.
And by the way, I KNOW you read those 3 answers in the “Joe voice” that lives in your head.
I totally read it in the Joe voice!!!
Sure did. What ya gonna do about it. 😉
“Hey, it is what it is” Lol
wow. just wow. you are wise.
I totally did! Whatcha goina do? >
Let’s see, Bravo could have a few more reality shows in the works. If Apollo could be transferred to where Joe is going. And if Joe Gorga and Chris Laurita should find themselves attending the same “college”, there would be one. Tre, Jacqueline, and Phaedra could star in “Downsizing with Children”. Brandi, Kim, and Sonja could headline “Rehab”. Brandi could also do a special with NeNe. Real Housewives Cage Fight. I’m sure there are a few others.
Omg, I forgot the the most popular show Bravo could create using Housewives . . . THOTLANDIA! Staring Porsha, Brandi, Sonja and a few others.
I know you’re joking but I’d probably watch those shows! >
Me too! Especially the regal.
Bravo is going to rot in hell, this is the last place these children need to be, and that is on TV. They need to give this family a lump sum for the children because TV ruined that family’s life.
No, the parents ruined that family’s life. They played Falstaff to Bravo’s Mephistopheles.
Joe was always my favorite character and milania is hilarious. I don’t believe US weekly but it sounds like a good concept.
This family has no shame. They will take a shit on cue and film it if the price is right. I do not care to watch. Now Felons by Bravo, I would watch.
When life gives you lemons, make some lemonade. I hope that Bravo insists that some of the payday is put into trust funds for the kids.
I wonder if they’ll have to subtitle it? Mumble mumble “youes can foegedaboutit” mumble mumble – Please reality tv gods fast track that shiz to Australia!
