Sad news for Manzo’d fans. Caroline has decided to just stay home and make soap and be a grandma. I will miss the show. It was one of the few fun, happy shows on TV that I enjoyed.
A small part of me is hoping she will agree to at least film a little bit for RHONJ. Andy has asked her every season. I believe she says she will do it for a million dollars. She no longer enjoys RHONJ and many other things she would rather be doing. Still. The show needs her. I wish she would just pop in for the occasional scene.
Not to be cynical, but I have a feeling this decision was probably not voluntary.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
spot on randy.
I mean, I always forgot it existed. Always.
Exactly—they would keep filming til the cows came home –at least that’s my opinion.
First of all I have to say how absolutely ADORABLE that baby is!!!! I’ve seen all the IG pics on the family’s accounts and I’m so happy for them. Second, I am really bummed there will be no more Manzo’d with Children, but if it means Caroline is just going off into the sunset to pursue creative endeavors and be happy mom and grandma, then I’m thrilled for her.
Sorry I haven’t commented in awhile, TT. I’ve been a little down after some really bad experiences with Internet trolls just being on IG. I can’t even imagine how it must feel to deal with all the crazy emails you get, Tamara, or the continued insanity of the Deplorables (I don’t know what else to call them).
I have to admit I don’t watch RHONJ anymore. There is just no one there I’m rooting for and there seems to be no “voice of reason” since Caroline left.
Good to see you back, SLM. I’m the only Internet Troll you need!
Thanks, Tamara. ?
Oh I totally could see her wanting to stay home and be a good Nona. Her family has always come first and I wouldn’t want cameras all up in my family’s face especially with a newborn. I, too, will miss them. I enjoyed this show. They made me laugh. (a rarity for Bravo…at least on purpose). I wish them tons of happiness and love. I don’t watch N.J. at all any more so….Farewell, dear Manzo Family. Live well and be happy.
I always liked Caroline. Manzo’d..not a favorite I am sure she is happier being a grandma!
I’m so mad! I loved watching the Manzo family, they are so geniune and make me smile every episode.
Now I have a thought and I hope I’m wrong but isn’t it strange how Danielle Staub comes back and all of sudden Jac is out and now Caroline? Do Caroline and Jac still hate Danielle that much that if she is back on Bravo they are out? Maybe they still think that Danielle has “connections”? Maybe I’m way off base but I have nothing else to do during the day, so I dig for theory’s…lol Does anyone else think this may have something to do with it?
The Manzos were the only happy, loving and fun-loving family left on Bravo. I will miss them so much. But I will continue to follow their lives an twitter and wish them all well.
3 seasons of this show was too much IMO. I used to enjoy Caroline within the confines of RHONJ, but MWC was never on my radar of ‘must see TV’.
For some reason I like and/or can generally tolerate the housewives on their mother shows, but I have never cared for any of the spin-offs. Like none of the spin-offs at all. Ever. However from what I glean, MWC was one of the better ones. I gave up a few episodes into season 1.
Unless Bravo backs up the Brinks truck right to Caroline’s front door, I don’t see her going back to RHONJ, especially as a full timer. Maybe a scene or 2 with Wacky Jackie but not much more.
I actually like the family- I listened to their podcast and felt like I was sitting at their kitchen table but I hate these “I won’t participate” type of announcements. Then, just don’t. We don’t need to hear about it- especially combined with a birth announcement.
Where was there some sort of “I won’t participate” announcement? And this is not a birth announcement. It’s an announcement that she she wants to spoil her grandbaby and not film reality TV.
If Danielle is on there, Teresa still frauding around, I kinda wouldn’t want to be associated with RHONJ. She’s got A LOT better things than that mess going on. Really great, the thought of making soap, being a new grandma.
Bummer. I thought the show was actually well-suited for Bravo. It didn’t need to be an hour long, it was all light-hearted, and you could cook something or grade papers while having it on in the background. It probably was their choice to leave the show since the baby storyline would’ve been PERFECT for the next season.
I’d love to see her on RHONJ to tell these bitches what’s up but she doesn’t need to roll around with pigs.
Oh, t hose days of needing something like the Manzo’d to grade papers to (thank God for MASH reruns during student teaching). Not light – but I’d seen them all so could tune them out enough and still track the plot.
I’m sad we don’t get to see the “I’m pregnant!” announcement!
I totally understand her decision to no longer participate in the TV shows. she has a new granddaughter and that is so much more fun than filming all this reality crap. Who knows? Maybe we’ll get a holiday special or something like that every so often but seriously…why would she want to participate? Been there, done that, survived a whole lotta drama from the NJ franchise & had her own spin off and through all of it she made it clear from episode 1 of NJ that she was all about family. They had a good run… kind of like that old Seinfeld episode about leaving on a high note…some of these other reality families could learn a lot from this move. Then again, the Manzos aren’t money hungry and never came across as fame whores like so many of these others.
Of all the New Jersey housewives, this family seemed the most financially stable. The Dad works all the time. Good for them for putting family over Bravo . I wish a few more Bravo celebs would follow their lead.
HUGE BUMMER! I LOVE THIS SHOW! Please Carolyn come back, it will be the only reason I watch RHONJ period. Have they begun filming yet? Normally they do Christmas and the holidays.
She was the mother I wished I had and the mom I strive to be in a lot of ways. The love she has for family and making sure her kids are close are life goals, man. A big hole in the Bravo lineup but I’m sure taking their lives off TV will bring more privacy and peace.
RIP Ham Game. It was good while it lasted.
I’m seriously bummed. I loved them more than even Kim and Kroy…
No offense to any fans but this show was not my cup of tea. Sorry but I highly suspect it was cancelled because of it’s low ratings.
Before you suspect things, you should know some facts. Like, you know, the ratings.
Why are you so rude and confrontational? Maybe if people could comment in peace you would have a little ad revenue instead of having to beg for money. Another thing I find distasteful about you is how you spend so much time talking about yourself, yet in the next breath, God forbid if a commenter does the same. You are truly repulsive.
You are so rude and confrontational. Maybe if you allowed people to comment in peace, you would have more than 17 followers and make a little ad revenue instead of having to beg for money. You are so repulsive.
and yet, you just can’t quit me.
I like how Primmy here waited 5 days and jumped in to tell you THIS. Ugh. And where has she seen you begging money? Does she have delayed response syndrome and remembers the legal fund from WAAAY back and just now saw fit to voice her thoughts on it? ?
The show was too scripted for me. Would have preferred they just hired them as actors and did a 30 minute sitcom. It was light hearted television and I think we need more of that. I felt like they were all playing “characters”. Lauren is not dumb, in fact she schooled Teresa on vocabulary but on her show, she was acting like a dumb blonde, annoying. The movin back in with the parents, fake girlfriend issues, fiancé moving in..all so scripted for a television show, just wished they called it that because they were enjoyable and funny.
