When it was announced that Caroline Manzo of The Real Housewives of New Jersey might be getting her own talk show, I thought I would be one of the few who thought this was the worst idea ever. I always thought people loved her and her straight-talking ways, but it turns out plenty of people are as sick of her as I am. As for Caroline, well, she just seems to be sick of everyone and everything, and it's not winning her any fans.
Her crankiness is of big concern to her friends and family, as she's repeatedly seen telling the world to f*ck off. In a video for Bravo, her kids and fellow cast mates talked about the issue, calling her "The Angry Red Bird." Check it out after the jump.
That's a lot anger, and she looks more like a bulldog than a bird to me, but she needs to control that rage. It's just not healthy. Is it due to menopause? At her age, it's possible for sure, but I know a lot of older women and they're not all like that, so it's not really a good excuse.
Maybe it's empty nest syndrome. Maybe she's over the whole Real Housewives thing. That would be understandable, and I'd eagerly wish her a fond and swift farewell. I don't know, but she's certainly not a very pleasant person as of late, and it's no fun to watch.
A wise person once told me that if you're going to be grumpy you at least have to be funny to pull it off, otherwise you're just a b*tch. Since Caroline isn't funny, well ... where does that leave her? Nowhere I want to be watching.
Why do you think Caroline is so cranky?

I find her to be obnoxious myself. So righteous. I would not miss her on the show. Too bad because I do like the episodes with her boys. I think they are cute and interesting. Lauren is like her mother...she could go too...waaaawaaa...sick of her crying.
She is laughing through most of that, people need to quit being so judgemental these days. We watch them on TV, we do not know them personally!!
it's memopause and it makes one VERY cranky. some worse than others.
First, Renee Hicks, use the spell check, it's right below. Caroline, I love her, she's the voice of reason. I understand what she's going through with menopause, it's a roller coastal ride of emotions, hot flashes, claustrophobia and stuff you could handle before, just gets totally blown out of proportion. Yes, there are drugs that can help, but taking hormones and the link to breast cancer made me quit taking them.
Caroline (Angry red bird) Needs to leave the show and take Jacky (Crazy Bird) with her.
Caroline, u were the favorite of all house wives. But I think u are either getting of the series or u are just sick and tired of NJHW. I am disappointed in this new behavior. U have wonderful family; love your kids
and husband. Your family seems to be the most sanest (not sure if that's a word). Theresa is making up excuses and does not seem like she is very bright. Her husband and her deserve each other. Please bring back to "OLD CAROLINE".
DUH! It's said over and over, she is going through the menopause, as a women that has gone through the change, it's not fun, it's not funny and everybody and everything pisses you off. Caroline do yourself a favor, get into some good herbal therapy (not pot) the herbs help and you don't feel like killing everyone that talks to you!
As far as her having her own talk show I doubt that the queen of motherly advice (our idear of camping is dried sausarge and provolone) and making bold statements about her son not having a love life because he's got to keep his mind on his job...this is not someone anyone needs advice from.
Caroline I used to be a fan but now...not so much!
