The Family Stallone

Sylvester Stallone definitely shows he will do anything for family with this reality show. The power of his stardom is still strong along with the loyalty he commands because only for Sly would Al Pacino and Dolph Lundgren agree to appear in this show. In fact that's the only part of it I watched. I had no interest in the wife or the daughters who complain about how Sly scares off the boys which really says more about them and the guys they pick than him. Obviously they're not worth the trouble despite their name and looks. No doubt though this show was made really for them to get them in the public eye. I doubt it will help if the girls have no real goals or ambitions to aim for. It's a shame that Sage Stallone is no longer alive because I think it would have been good to finally see Sly and his son together outside of their appearances onscreen in Rocky V and Daylight. But maybe we'll see Sly and Frank together and see how their relationship as brothers over the years has stayed strong. It would be more interesting to see that than the wife and daughters who to me have no charisma or charm the way Sly has.

I don't like reality tv shows because of the narcissism required to make one but this has a few elements that makes it worth watching. From the start Sylvester Stallone makes it clear his intentions of making the show, he wants more involvements in his daughters lives and this facilitates that. Secondly, the episodes are short and sweet and the season in totality is shorter than some movies being made. The show is hindered by the fact that this series doesn't revolve around any particular event in any of the family members lives. Sylvester celebrates his birthday in the first episode but unlike his action movies it is uneventful. The series doesn't have a focus or mystery but you stick around for the dynamic chemistry between a father and his three daughters and the wholesome nature instilled in the family.

Couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken that they didn't take just five minutes to mention either of Sly's sons. The name was The "Family" Stallone. There are messsges throughout about how much family means. The ending was all about family. Very sad that his two sons weren't mentioned at all. They could have acknowledged Sage and his passing after they spoke of Sophia's heart issues. They could have had just tribute wording or dedication wording at the end "Gone but not forgotten" I understand privacy for his other son but they could have found a way to acknowledge him. Could have even found a way to include him in some way. The world understands autism now that so many people are on the spectrum.

They found a way to include Pacino and Arnold... When speaking of the "FAMILY" Stallone - please don't forget to include all of your children... A simple acknowledgment at the end, even if an afterthought could have been worked in. They were his children first afterall... Would have given much higher rating if so...

Sly is an incredible role model and it's fantastic to hear his insights and wisdom that he shares with his family. Jennifer is an incredible woman in her own right & they appear to be an amazing couple and have brought up a wonderful family. All the Stallone family have a great sense of humor and the show is light and fun which makes for great entertainment. Uncle Frank is great and the banter between the Stallone brothers is hilarious!! It great to see a wonderful family- especially coming out of Hollywood which is notorious for the opposite.

I found this show to be really enjoyable and entertaining!

I didn't expect this series to be an epic movie, it is a family of a well known actor who is loved by many willing to let the public in to see his life and his families life that is genuine. I can't imagine allowing someone to film you all the time. I applaud their willingness to show who they are. Our real lives are not epic, perfect movies. Real life is just that real life. It is a joy to watch someone you grew up watching let us in to see his family. I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Didn't have any expectations of depth or movie perfection. Just love seeing Stallone's family. Just my humble opinion.
