Growing Up Gotti was an American reality television series that appeared on A&E on Mondays at 9:00 PM ET. It featured the life of Victoria Gotti, daughter of late Mafia boss John Gotti, and her three sons; Carmine Gotti Agnello, John Gotti Agnello, and Frank Gotti Agnello.

Due to declining ratings, A&E canceled "Growing Up Gotti" at the end of 2005. At its peak, the show received about 3.2 million viewers, but by the end of its run, episodes averaged just under 1.2 million. "Growing Up Gotti" was shown on the Australian ABC TV in 2005 for approximately 5-6 weeks, but was taken off the air in a situation similar to its original demise - due to failing ratings. It was repeated over summer 2006-07. The Smoking Gun launched a parody of sorts entitled " [http://www.thesmokinggun.com/blowingupgotti/ Blowing Up Gotti] ", which consisted of family visits to John Gotti while he was in prison that prison officials routinely taped.

Criticism

A&E faced criticism for this show. Some felt that A&E was showcasing a family living in luxury that was purchased by blood money made by John Gotti. They felt the network was glorifying organized crime. Many have also complained about the foul language used on the show, as well as the dysfunctional relationship between Victoria Gotti and her sons. Film.com says about the show "Victoria Gotti has the warmth of an ice pick and her sons the charm of, well, thugs." [http://www.film.com/tv/story/the-amy-award-goes-to/13982602/21840831]
