Wahlburgers

The Wahlberg family has graced our screens for decades, and now they're all back in this reality series focused on the new burger restaurant fronted by brother Paul Wahlberg, with heavy funding coming from other brother Donnie and of course Marky Mark himself. Built like a very expected reality tv show around a semi-famous family, almost all the interactions were heavily scripted, and Mark Wahlberg himself showing up either in a phone call or from a flight in a private jet at least once per episode. The family itself isn't all that interesting, but somehow at the end of season only nine episodes I found my self wanting for more, unfortunately it just wasn't available for streaming anywhere easily. Luckily for those who can find it, at its completion there were ten whole seasons to get through and even a spin-off Donnie Loves Jenny at one point. I would have liked to hear more about Paul and his restauranteer skills, but it didn't seem like it wanted to be that kinda show, instead focusing on mostly made up family squabbles. Maybe I'll check out the rest eventually, but for now they mostly felt like some old men on the block pretending to be kids.

The recent Paul episodes are absolutely boring. He is not good on TV. The best episodes are about the crazy friends and family, and Donny with his warm personality are great episodes. More about that, and less about the burger restaurants and Paul.

Your family bond is what keeps me coming back each season. My mother, aka Short Stuff, is who got me to start watching the show. She asked me if I knew who the Wahlburghs were and I chuckled and said "Do you know who the Wahlburghs are?!". I have been a huge fan of the show every since. The first time I became a fan of a Wahlburgh was at my first NKOTB concert in Lake Placid and my favorite was Donnie. I love his charisma and his sense of humor. I also loved Marky Mark back in the day and have been a huge fan of Mark in his acting career, he is captivating and love and his swag. Now that I have been watching Wahlburgers I now am a huge fan of Alma, Paul, and Johnny Drama. Johnny has such a good heart and is so sincere. Paul's genuinely good heart respect for his workers makes me want to apply to a Wahlburgers or own a franchise! As for Alma, she is the QUEEN! I love her and her sense of family. As much as you all joke about her having a favorite I can see that she loves you all equally and I love how she loves her family! Honestly, my favorite part of the show is the sense of family I get and how you all don't forget where you came from. Your an amazing family and thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of it each week! Love you all!

Sincerely,

Tracy

I honestly don't understand how people can write about how a "sibling rivalry annoys them." I'd have to ask "were you an only child?" in response. For those of us who had sisters and brothers this is right up your alley. First and foremost it's an Irish household, they recall tons of stories from the not so conventionally nuclear family of the 80's...

This series is a breath of fresh air from all the other reality type shows that are on. One thing they are real, their lives are real the things that happen to them are real.

Expressing the feelings of old and healing those feeling through some competition is the way it should be. I'm sure Mark took a beating for his brother and Donny has taken one for him...

Can't wait to see where this goes next season I recommend this series to anyone not afraid of the REAL REALITY SHOW. That's all it is, unapologetic look into the lives of the "Wahlburgers" not just the burger joint but the family itself.

~ This show is AWESOME!! All the brothers each have their own personality& Iiiii LOVE. THAT. Alma is sweet& ferocious& funny : )

They seem like real guys on their own special journey& it is fun ta get ta know each of their family members.

Good luck to you guys....

Ya know, your mom said that USED TA BE, someone's say the name 'Walburg' &folks weren't too happy.....

But you guys have grown up& become ahhhh-MAZ-ing men!! &A good example, too. You support the friends 'ya knew since when's &it's fun ta watch y'aLL kid around& just be 'REAL'

Can't remember your friends names, but I like all of them. &Well, I hate ta tell ya, but I think that PAUL is the cutest of the Walburg brothers....
