The Fanelli Boys Trivia:

The Fanelli Boys TV show pilot episode aired on a Saturday and then the next episode was broadcast four days later on Wednesday at 9:00PM. In that time slot, it had to compete with two very popular shows! "Doogie Howser, M.D." was on ABC and the first half of "Jake and the Fatman" was on CBS! It was moved a couple of times after that to time slots with less competition but The Fanelli Boys never got good enough ratings to survive.

Each of the Fanelli boys had their own reason to seek mom out for comfort. Dominic was a hustler who wasn't very successful at it, Frankie had just been dumped by his fiancee because her couldn't keep his hands off other women, Anthony had taken over the family funeral parlor found himself saddled with $25,000 of debt, and Ronnie had no future prospects after dropping out of school.
