Vito's real name is Vincent
April actually notifies that in the Vegas episode when she is telling the story about how Vito ate the whole top half of her and Phil's wedding cake

I've noticed that Don Vito's name isn't Don...he uses it like "Don" Corleone in the Godfather. Vito is his name and if you look in the credits, Vito is a creative consultant for the show. Became kinda fake after a couple seasons. Still kinda funny though.

The first 2 seasons were some of the funniest shows I've ever seen on TV but after that it all just completely plunged to the point where it was like they weren't even trying to make it look real.

Viva La Spring Break was great though, I'm pretty sure that was all real.

I enjoy the show.
Sure if you were loaded with money youd go around the world and transform your house etc.. into theme parks ,soapy floors ,ice skating.
Your not going to find a show these days that is made with your best mate filming. There had to be ratings and a level to which is suitable for on air tv.
Don vito ,Ryn and Bam make the show humourous.

It jumped on the episode where Bam and his friends are looking for jobs and then that Three Stooges crap at the bakery happens. I can see where it would be necessary for a show like that to have been somewhat scripted all along, as far as pre-arranging some of the stunts and pranks that they pulled, but did they have to make it that obvious?

I think it jumped the shark when Vito got arrested

This show jumped the Shark several times. The stunts became too staged and fake. The Spinoff show Bam's Unholy Union was the final nail in the coffin.

VLB jumped when it got too full of itself and became so obviously scripted. Its enough already.

Once I saw Vito’s Car (undoubtedly bought from a junkyard) wrecked for the 3rd time, I smelt something fishy 'shark bait'. That’s why Bam is now hocking deodorant on TV; even HE knows the show stinks! Second season should have had him living with a different family; it would have not lost its freshness and people’s actions would not look scripted. VIVA LA SHARK!!!

Worthless POS show. Bam needs to learn a little respect and he needs to have his ass kicked by Phil.

Whenever being asked what I think about Bam, I always say, like Paris Hilton, he goes against evolution in that, humanity's intelligence is obviously taking a downfall. He is the very example of stupidity. Not only is he the worst actor I've seen in years of being overly-critical, but he is so obviously a coward. If any of you have seen his edition of Ashton Kutcher's Punkd, you'd know how fake his personality on Viva La Bam really is. Not only that, but if he is so pissed off at his parents, why can't he tell them to move in their own place? Yeah, like the producers weren't telling him to buy a house for everyone. I mean, c'mon, no man his age lives with, I dunno, five friends and his two parents. Even the most outrageous men have more dignity than Bam Margera. I don't even think his then girlfriend lived with him. Which, by the way, the fact Bam could ever get a girlfriend is about as believable as the show. Also, to address a previous post, I completely agree with how stupid and predictably lame it has gotten. Bam Margera needs to hang up the CKY clothes, get his own house, and stop being fake retard. I stopped watching the show a year ago.

When the show moved to the second house the events became too big and staged. They had to room to do huge things and couldn't settle for any smaller jokes/pranks again.

Bam Margera and all his dumb little buddies are such sell-outs. Like they weren't already rich to begin with, they should've just stuck with CKY. OMG, and it's sooo obviously fake!! I mean, none of them are very good actors, you can tell it's scripted.

After starting out with occasionally funny moments of anarchistic humor, Viva La Bam landed right in Jaws' mouth when it veered into the “obviously scripted” zone. I’m sure it was completely scripted all along, but at least in the first few shows it gave off the illusion of spontaneity. What clinched the ruse for me was an episode in which Bam and the boys supposedly walk into a bakery, apply for jobs and get hired on the spot. Then —- in a plot twist that a fourth-grader wouldn’t have written —- the man running the bakery says something to the effect of, "Well, I guess you guys know what you’re doing, so I guess I'll leave you alone." Oh, yeah -- THAT'D happen at a real bakery, all right. Hey, script writers, here's an equally clever idea: Have the bakery owner say, "I have to leave the shop now, but in the meantime, we've got a truckload of eggs coming in, and I'm putting you guys in charge of unloading them." Dang, whatdya think'll happen next???

It jumped when it became painfully obvious it was staged. Come on the one episode where they get jobs was a bad sit com plot. Lets be honest Bam was at his best with Jackass. I know CKY came first but only when he was a part of Jackass was he truly great. He needed producers to reel him in.
