MARIO AND FAMILY GO GREEN WITH MARIO’S GREEN HOUSE
Actor/Filmmaker Mario Van Peebles and his family are going “green” in their new reality series Mario’s Green House. The reality show, which premiered on September 27th,2009, stars Mario(in cowboy hat), his five kids Akaylo, Mandela, Marley, Maya and Morgana (3 boys, 2 girls), his wife Chitra, and his father Melvin.
Here is a description of the environmentally-friendly reality show:
Mario has made a resolution to go green and he’s taking the family along the journey with him. He embarks on a massive eco-sensitive renovation of his house and hopes that the renovation will be a creative and meaningful project for his entire family, With a busy Hollywood career and a full-time job as Dad, Mario soon learns that major construction is just the tip of the iceberg when he needs a whole lifestyle makeover.
Check out ‘Mario’s Green House,’ which airs Sundays at 6 p.m. (ET) on TV One.

They are all cute with good hair.
OMG…PEOPLE KILL ME…I SWEAR
Was it the “good hair” comment?
Ignorance @ it’s best!
People come on here and make comments like this because they know they are going to get a reaction. Ignoring them is the best way to combat trolls.
Why do you all keep taking this bait day after day, post after post. Just ignore it and like all attention seeking children, they will go away.
Good hair?? WTH???
Love this family. It’s about time a POSITIVE reality show hits tv
I have good hair…every kinky strand!
Think of Diana Ross but real from two black parents.
Wow I have’nt seen his family in forever.. He made a crime masterpeice when he produced New Jack city.. It was like the black Scarface or something.. Excellent
I didn’t know he had 5 kids…They are all very beautiful and handsome children.
Now that’s reality tv that I am interested in watching. It will be informational as well as entertaining. I want to build a “green” house one day and am interested in seeing what all it entails.
Mario’s wife is beautiful and so are his children.
wow, thats a beautiful family
Cute!
Watched this show the other day and it was too good! Also I love that their grandfather,Melvin is a part of the family show. How funny to watch him teach as he interacts with his grandchildren. There seems so much love and communication with the family. It’s a really good show.
Hi Khrish, I grew up with Mario and his sister, Megan, was a lifetime friend of mine before she passed 3 years ago. I miss her and doing fun things with her and her two boys that she left behind.
They’re both in their teens now.
This family is so nice and down to earth and Megan is sorely missed by them…Megan was the only daughter Melvin had with Maria, though later in life, Mel fathered a little girl with a French woman. There’s also another brother, Max, who was born in France.
I really miss both Megan and her husband Ron who died also. God Bless!
His kids pictured are from different Moms, and I love the way they’ve grown up beautifully blended as a family. Good people!
Thanks for the info. Have you had a chance to watch the show. It’s really neat. I had the movie that Mario and his father did together, PANTHER, on video and I wanted it on DVD but the cost to get one is prohibited. The studio has it out of print and the people online want a forturn for it. If you hear of it being re-released, please let me know.
Will do Khrish! I wish there was a way that we could get in touch outside of BCK. That would be so nice!
I enjoy talking with you. Did you see the clip on Oprah’s show of the preview of THIS IS IT? I hope that they do take it to DVD after the movie is finished. I would love to own it. I have most of the DVDs of MJ and I just love to watch SMOOTH CRIMINAL. I always thought that was the neatest video. I was happy to hear him say on the tape that he liked PRINCE because I love Prince as well. It’s hard to find a way to get in touch thru the website without an email address. I do enjoy your posts and I miss Toya 1. Haven’t seen posts from her in a long time.
Thanks, Khrish. You’re right, Toya1 doesn’t write as often and she’s missed. She does pipe in about the Jacksons which I love when she does. I can’t wait to see the movie, too.
I’m glad that BCK is around to allow us to witness Michael’s kids growing up. It’s fun. Take care!
they all got good hair
what is good hair? yes im black
IS THIS SCRIPTED BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE GIRL LOOKED DOWN AS SHE FORGOT THE SECOND HALF OF HER SENTENCE. DID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE IT?
The young man in the hat looks exactly like Mario!
When I saw the first photos, I just KNEW someone was going to come with the ‘good hair’ nonsense. I can’t think of another race of people with such deep-seated self-hate issues. *smh*
I’m not a fan of reality shows, but this one seems to have a positive message at its root. I’ll take more of these and less of the “Washed Up Entertainer Looks For ‘Love’” shows that have sprung up like a bad case of herpes.
Leo–that was funny–the herpes comment. I just wish many of these reality tv shows would become passe –so that has been entertainers who don’t deserve to be resurrected and wanna be stars would just go away….
I love the concept of this show. I am slowly getting on board with some “green ideals” I take some and discard the other that don’t jive with me.
This will be a great learning experience for his kids and well, a nice payday for the family.
Happy/good looking family, his wife looks very youthful and Mario is still handsome.
This has a very interesting story line. Love the concept of a Black Family going Green….I love that. Will watch next Sunday!
Beatiful Family!
That is a gorgeous family. The youngest two kind of look like they do “go” with the rest of them, though. I actually thought they had a different mom.
My bag..I counted before reading and included his wife as one of the kids…
Beautiful family!!!
What’s good about their hair?
lol @ the old man
Some people say things to get a reaction (the “good hair” comments), and it usually works.
OMG, I always thought that I would be married to Mario. I had this crazy love affair with Mario and would watch whatever he was on. Beautiful family. You guys should see watermelon man by his father, very funny movie.
Well you know his father is quite famous for his films. I’ve always liked Melvin and took a shine to Mario because he was Melvin’s son. Isn’t there another son. I am going to get into this show. I agree, I am sick of reality shows with “wannabes” like the Housewives of Atlanta and that mother and sister of the singer. This seems like one that will be good like Rev. Run and his family show.
well i have thick kinky hair i wear it in a big fro and it’s as good at hair can get
sounds good to me
Beauiful fam and its nice they are going green.
love mario, now he always does creative projects,films, and a wonderful man, father. beautiful wife
Ok with the good hair comment y cant she call it that its nothng but an opinion jus like the opinion of sayn its no such thng…i mean the natural curly hair is so cute n ez to do in my opinion and ive styled all types …wats the problem all hair is not made equal …. its harder to do some types then others …y do we make this a big deal wen ppl make that comment …we all have r likes wen it comes to hair bottom line ……ne’way the whole family is beautiful !!!!!! no matter the opinion of ppl the key is make sure ur hair stays healthy n done !!!! RELAX PPL ITS JUS HAIR AFTER ALL !!!!!!
I didnt know he had 5 kids. Nice family
beautiful family
All reality shows are scripted!
I’ve always loved Mario,with his fine and sexy self– and his dad, the coolest dude on the planet.
First time I’ve ever seen Mario’s family and they are beautiful.
But do we really, really need another reality show. Sigh.
PRETTY AND HANDSOME FAMILY THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE.
i want to marry his sons soooooooooooo bad,omg,they are too fine
So they are not all his and her children? Who is the mother of the others then, and it’s the two youngest that are both of theirs?
