You see, Vito? You're admittedly not from New York, and those stereotypes jump right into your mind.

Not that you're alone, far from it. But it just goes to show how much the media depictions of Italian Americans still resonate with people.

They took Amos and Andy off the air. But Joey Trebbiani and Vinnie Barbarino are here to stay wink.


I was not even sure who those characters were? But I do not watch comedies/sitcom show on TV.

I did find this website when searching for them.

It's a shame it has not been updated in awhile.
