Anyone watching Wipe Swap?

not for nothing but the French are weird. My family is absolute proof of this!
Seriously though I know what you mean about being bashed because of ancestry. My maiden name is Chretien, so believe me I got it from French haters and people who hated Jean Chretien.
But it also gets very tiresome when the area you are from is continuously knocked as its residents being rude and unfriendly when it's not true. and there's plenty of northeast bashing that goes on here.

As you know we moved to Warwick RI from California. I grew up hear ,but noone else had... They were shocked at how friendly people are here.. The had some steriotypes in mind and all of those were shattered by the friendliiness of RI'ers

Wow, I cannot believe how downright rude and ignorant some posters are being and the stereotypes/generalizations being made about areas of the country and ethnic backgrounds. I have lived in RI all of my life and it's a wonderful place to live. It is not a "hotspot for the mafia." The family is from a very affluent area of Warwick, RI, just south of Providence. For the poster who said there are areas in RI where you could buy a house like that and it would not cost you a fortune, unfortunately, with the housing market the way it is right now, that simply is not true, unless you consider 600k affordable. Though I am not Italian, I am shocked at the number of ethnic comments. Very disappointing. It's one thing to comment on the way in which the "characters" acted but it's another to draw sweeping conclusions about areas and generalizations about people and their ethnicity. A little tolerance goes a long way.

It depends on what your frame of reference is..That house he lives in inWarwick would got for 2 Million in San Diego.
I assume he's in Warwick Neck

Actually I live in North Providence and for years it's a been a mafia hotspot. That stereotype is outdated as they're mostly all in jail, but it's not completely incorrect. Want proof? Hang out at Spardello's on Mineral Spring Ave and you'll see for yourself.

You know it! LOL I went to PC. What is the name of that Italian Restaurant, is it Capriccios? That seemed very mafia. If that was teh name, is it still there?

I just watched this episode today. I felt so bad for the son in the hippie family! He seems so intelligent, but something was just not right with him. Maybe it was the way he talked? I don't know, but something was off. Though I wanted to take a razor to her, I likes the hippie mom/wife!

That rich husband though. I had enough of the "badda bang badda bing" talk! What an obnoxious fellow! But it was sweet how he teared up over missing his wife....

I couldn't believe I had to read to page six before someone was bada binging bada booming! That was soooo funny and I admit I instantly thought of the Bada Bing in the Sopranos.

I liked both moms and disliked both dads. Big Ed did win me over a bit in the end (puhleeze lose the skirt) but I'm still not crazy about Ash. He looked like he really enjoyed the boxing. I just wouldn't have thought he'd be into violence

I hate the thought of Ian never getting to be with other kids and having to eat out of a dumpster. Poor thing was waay more adult than the "parents". I'm glad he got to keep his video games.

Yeah, he has to be from Cranston! Of course they had to have the obligatory pasta dinner when she was cooking. I did notice that they didn't have an Italian name, maybe the wife is Italian?

Look at the posts before yours, he's German, not Italian.

I'd be surprised if you could get a house like that in Warwick for $600k. I'd think it would be closer to $800k or $900k, maybe even more.
