Angela “Big Ang” Raiola, one of the stars of VH1′s reality series Mob Wives, is getting her own show. The network has ordered 10 episodes of the new half-hour series, titled Big Ang, to premiere in the summer. The series will focus on her interactions with family and friends and her Staten Island bar the Drunken Monkey and will feature visits from her Mob Wives pals. (Our sister site HollywoodLife told us this move was coming.) The ratings for Season 2 of Mob Wives are up 25% over Season 1, averaging 1.6 million viewers per premiere episode.


They made the right choice to go with a half-hour series and to focus on the bar. It will be hilarious and will be gold for VH1. Nice move!
When will this insanity with reality shows stop already? Spin-off after spin-off of virutally everything on right now.
Oh hush,we love her.
This is great news for all of Big Ang fans. She is the only reason to watch the otherwise unwatchable Mob Wives. Besides her, um, unusual looks, she is a genuinely nice person with a great self-depreciating sense of humor. I can’t wait for this show!
