The Great Santini Brothers follows the Brooklyn-based, family-owned Santini Brothers Moving. Owners George and Joe Sr. have dedicated their lives to the business - which has been around for more than 100 years and three generations of Santinis - but are looking to pass the torch to their sons, Nick and Joe Jr., who have just rejoined the business.
George and Joe Senior own one of the oldest family-owned moving companies in New York: Santini Brothers Moving & Storage. Born into a family of poor Italian immigrants, these brothers built up a successful business from nothing.
You can't expect to own a moving business in New York City and not come across some crazies. When the Santinis encounter Mr. Hernandez--an eccentric, buggy-eyed superintendent--it's a test to see how much of a beating the guys are willing to take.
There's no shortage of Italian Stallions in this family. George and Joe Senior prove they've still got game and annoy their sons when they offer up a little extra "customer service" for an attractive female customer.
There's nothing better than working with your family--most of the time. Tensions heat up between father and son when the Santinis struggle to move an antique safe from the Museum of the American Gangster.
This is New York! No day is ever the same for the Great Santini Brothers, and this week, the guys are surprised with a giant taxidermy boar at their first move. Then, the Santinis learn an important lesson--to keep Nick out of the office.
What's weird about juggling a pair of vicious Amazonian fish that will bite your finger off in an instant if you make one wrong move? That's just a typical day for the Great Santini Brothers! But the week wouldn't be complete without first getting lost.
