9 Reasons We're Excited For Manzo'd With Children

by Caitlyn Callegari

Whatever reality show rain dance you all did worked, you crazy kids. The Manzo family drought is about to be over. Their brand spankin’ new show , Manzo'd With Children, debuts Sunday at 9pm on Bravo, freeing us from the all-encompassing darkness that was cast over our lives. Because their noticeable absence on this season's Real Housewives of New Jersey is nothing short of painful. So yes, I am in fact with you, and the rest of the Bravo watching world, in rejoicing over a glass (bottle) of wine and let's be honest, some sort of chocolate dessert (an entire cake), that they’ll be around to provide us a Sunday night respite (something to obsess over once again). Or perhaps it would be more appropriate to indulge in a meatball or two, instead. Or maybe like... seven. Seven seems like a good number.

In honor of the impending premier and their sure to be riveting return, let's take a look at all the reasons why the Manzo's made RHONJ (because it’s the damn truth). And, why we're just so relieved that they're finally back. And why they can't ever leave us like that, ever again. As my life guru, Taylor Swift, would say, “Like ever.”

SWEET, SWEET CAROLINE'S UNPARALLELED SHUT DOWNS

THIS WILL ESPECIALLY BE ETCHED INTO MY MEMORY 4 EVS:

Ugh, I bow before you.

THEIR RELATABILITY

I've been both the victim and the prey in this situation.

THEIR FEROCITY

Italians are passionate. It is not a stereotype.

THE HONORARY MANZO, GREGGY BENNETT

How I feel about that:

THE GRIPPING, EMOTIONAL HONESTY

THEIR USE OF FLUID, POETIC LANGUAGE

Rolls right off the tongue.

WHENEVER CAROLINE'S HAD IT

MOMENTS LIKE THIS

AND, ONE LINERS LIKE THAT
