More Snookie And Situation Coming To MTV This Summer!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Jersey Show,” which is reportedly putting $10,000 or more per week in Nicole “Snookie” Polizzi’s purse, will return for its second season this summer, MTV revealed Saturday.
MTV reportedly had considered following the “Real World” model and just hiring a new crop of fighty East Coast underachievers for season two, but have instead opted to go the “Hills” route and stick with the same housemates season-to-season.
Because MTV wants to start shooting right away -- and because the male members of the cast would freeze to death if they kept wearing their bikinis and board shorts during the New Jersey winter -- the plan is to move the whole cast to someplace warmer for the shoot.
No word on whether we’ll seen the return of the forgotten eighth housemate, Staten Island bartender Angelina Pivarnick, who was evicted from the shore house in episode three but returned for the reunion show.
“Jersey Shore” was easily MTV’s top-rated series during its 9-episode December-January run. Its Jan. 21 season finale lured 4.8 million viewers.
The "Jersey" finale hit a 2.6 in 18-49, bigger than any episode of anything that ran on The CW this season, and bigger than any episode of anything on cable this season save ESPN's "Monday Night Football."

Sometimes I'm really glad that MuchMusic (the basic cable "music" channel) stopped showing MTV programing in Canada because CTV bought MuchMusic and it was moved to MTVCanada so I don't have to watch MTV tripe. I like the movie awards show on MTV. That is literally it.
-
unlike the hills, they make it more authentic. They are well known now and hopefully the show will acknowledge that
-
They have 15 minutes...let the country make jokes,but keep making the money! Who here would turn it down?
-
y post about it. And the MTV Video awards are the same trash as the rest of their shows.
-
And geeks care about this because...?
Must have something to do with the boobies. -
and deserve whatever scorn and ridicule heaped upon them by society.
-
That's a little weird, but not a big deal I guess, it's all about the cast.I hope Angelina doesn't come back. She blew it. She shouldn't get the reward.
-
send them to talibania. plz.
-
..the same way the Irish are embarrassed by all of Boston.Send these fuckholes to Texas where they will get their asses beat by 10,000 rednecks.
-
I only know of this show from the fucktards who care about it and the fact that it gets made funof on Talk Soup...that being said,I can honestly state that this shit is worse than feeding christians to lions as far as the downfall of societies go. What the fuck do you people get out of this? What do you accomplish by making millionaires and celebrities out of the most worthless people ever to crawl out of a Jersey cesspool? As bad as these Jersey Shor people are,you lot are worse because you're the ones who actually made them famous. Enjoy the fiddling while America burns.....
-
Cause this show is so fucking horrible, it could kill somebody. MTV, for the love of God, please go back to showing nuthin' but music videos. That's what you were famous for. Anything is better than this steaming pile of shit!
-
And you should be ashamed of yourself if you do. Im not kidding. I dont mean that in some sort of hyperbolic way. If you watch this, you are a lesser person because of it. It isn't fun. It isn't a guilty pleasure. It's disgusting garbage. I honestly think you have a greater defection in the content of your being that you should work on if you watch this.
-
I worked for a spring break company for a while, and in terms of destinations, the guidos loved Acapulco more than any other.
-
Not that it matters either way, but I always assumed you were a straight man (yes, even with the Whedon manlove - the guy did write Firefly aside from his more girl-centric projects). But when you're posting an article about a show as vapid, a show that proves that our collective intelligence as a species is in the shitter, a show on a channel that has forgotten what the M in MTV stands for, when you post an article about the Jersey Douchebag show, then Herc my man, I have to seriously start questioning your sexuality. I'm gonna go ahead and quote the ever-eloquent Hank Hill on this one: "That ain't right."
-
for taking the time to post about Jersey shore, you now have to go down to the mall and buy yourself some Capri pants and tampons because you just forfeitted your Bro card. That's right, game over, you are now Hercette the She-blogger.
-
This show has no pretense about being anything highbrow...this show is brings a segment of America to everyone's attention...and these people DO exist in America. It's entertaining, and leaps and bounds better than most of the other crap on TV...some of the people who are criticizing this show probably watch shows like Survivor, The Bachelor, Big Brother, etc.,and the only difference is...the people on those shows are scum, but they don't know it, or the show pretends that they aren't. Jersey Shore has an honesty which is missing from most reality shows.
-
Seriously. To those saying this is some reflective statement on the viewers, or the downfall of a nation... I ask, have you watched one episode? One? You may find, like myself, that its simply The Real World with some actual entertaining people for once in a decade. They're superficial, but good hearted. They're plastic, but alive. The key was that they booted the potential asshole one third through the season, unlike every other reality show that drags them around until the end. In that, the unbearable verve and rhythm of MTV Reality is surprisingly upbeat. Compared to the ugliness of yester year, Jersey Shore was a bright, vivid romp in the dead of winter.
-
And I got hooked. I started watching maybe two weeks ago. I got so sick and tired of hearing about this fucking show and not having any idea what the hell people were talking about, even though I have that same experience when people mention Heroes, or Lost, or Chuck, or Dollhouse, or, or...
Reality t.v. is good when done right. This show reminds me of the early seasons of the Real World, when this sort of concept was still unique and interesting. The most surprising thing to me was that these guys aren't the bad, wastes of life that all the people say they are. If they weren't interesting as people this show would not be a hit, I don't think it was really about being a "Guido", that's just surface stuff.
I don't believe people who watch a show like this for hours on end and then think "those people are losers", everyone is interesting if given a chance. I don't think any of these guys are really unlikable or somehow "bad". I think people just like to complain.
I think the only person who really is sort of a douche is the Situation, and that's only because he can't handle rejection, and even though he's a player, he acted like a huge wuss in the face of rejection. But that's kind of interesting too. The biggest player turns out to be the biggest pussy.
The only thing I didn't like was the "reunion" episode. That seemed very phony, and it seemed really cheesy to have that couple break up, and even worse that they showed "unseen footage", which was hoping to maybe cause tension in that childish relationship. Really the worst stuff you would expect of something like Ed TV.
Anyway, Maybe I'll watch. -
Can MTV seriously change it's name now? RTV Reality TV. MTV2 became RTV2 Reality TV 2. Then turn the MTV HITS channel into the real MTV.
-
sounds like it should be on Bravo. Listen, it doesn't matter if the douchebags on the show know they are douchebags or not, it's a bunch of no-talent fucktards with cameras in front of them so they feel important. And Real World sucked 10 years ago, and it sucks now as Jersey Shore. Listen, if you're gay or a chick, then by all means, watch and enjoy this shit. But if you're a heterosexual male and watching Jersey Shore, then you ARE NOT a heterosexual male and you need to admit that to yourself, because you won't be truly happy in life until you do.
-
I think the ultimate joke is on the people who don't watch who have opinions on it. "Most vapid show that I've never seen." Huh? How can you pass judgment on something you've never seen?
Well, I did too I guess. Thing is I believed the anti-hype, that these people were scum-bags, but I gave in. And no, they aren't scum bags anymore than the guy or girl next door are.
When producers are putting together shows like this, I think they are very conscious of NOT getting one dimensional people. They are looking for interesting people who may appear to be one thing, but end up being another. That's how you get people to watch a show. By keeping them interested.
-
It's so 60's
-
I remind you there is no shame in being female or homosexual.
-
just didn't know you fell into that category
-
You clearly have issues with your sexuality. If a t.v. show that is pretty much only about guys hustling chicks and getting laid, and showing the entire sequence of events, if as a red-blooded man that doesn't interest you, then you might be gay.
Of course, you haven't seen the show so it's hard to tell. But I'd say all your "you're gay" stuff is the sign of a guy who needs to look in the mirror and make peace with himself.
And I'm not judging you, your sexuality is your business, not mine. -
I did watch an ep for about 10 minutes to see what the fuss was about. And it was a bunch of guys who sound like they couldn't pass a 4th grade Spelling Bee trying to get it on with a bunch of unattractive, fake girls who have more plastic in them than Pam Anderson. Douchebags all around. And no problems with MY sexuality, I just have problems with guys who watch this show and still want to be called "men". I have a problem with "reality" shows that have absolutely nothing to do with reality. And I have a problem with MTV's incessant quest since the mid-90's to suck every last drop of intelligence or refinement out of its viewers. For fuck's sake MTV is the reason we're getting the geriatric fucking Who at Superbowl halftime this year. Because MTV caused "Nipplegate", the TV execs have been way too timid about who they get for halftime, opting for the safe choice of washed up rock acts that were great in the 60's and 70's but haven't put out anything relevant since. The Who's last album was absolute shit, but we're getting them at halftime thanks to the fucktards at MTV. And you guys are supporting them with this crap? And I'm truly sad to see just how far AICN and its staff have fallen, reporting stories that broke weeks earlier, missing weekly columns for two, three weeks at a time, and posting crap about long past its prime SNL and craptastic Jersey Shore but not even mentioning the demise of Miramax. That's where my problem s lie. But you're right, to each their own, so I'll leave you guys to it.
-
So it's kind of silly to bash Jersey Shore because MTV is not the channel of our childhoods. I'm old enough to remember the early days of MTV and loved it growing up, and it's sad that it has died, but things just changed. That era of all music videos is dead. The internet has made it not as relevant as it once was. Just pretend like it's Vtv or Ltv or something. It's a different brand now, you're swinging away at ghosts.
-
Not really seeing the connection between Jersey Shore and Gaydar Breaking Gayness. Forthcoming examples would be FABULOOOOUS.
-
"I did watch an ep for about 10 minutes to see what the fuss was about."
I stopped reading after that sentence. If you haven't seen the show you're making a fool of yourself. You have to see a fucking show before you judge it's content. Come on, time to grow up buddy.
Now you don't have to actually watch, there's plenty of popular shows I've never seen. People like Dexter. I have no clue what that show is about, it's a guy that kills people with John Lithgow's help. That's all I know. I am not about to critique it, or the people who watch it.
While it's true that reality t.v. is often really, really shitty, and overly dramatic, be careful of having your own cynicsm blind you to the times you could be wrong about something.
And as far as I can tell, the people who hate this show the most have NEVER SEEN IT. -

BREAKING NEWS-NEW SPONSOR ANNOUNCED FOR SEASON 2 of JERSEY SHORE
by jobacca
This season will be brought to you by BRAWNDO THE THIRST MUTILATOR!!!!
-
There's connection between NippleGate and MTV?
-
yes, MTV used to be responsible for Superbowl halftime. They were the bright fuckers who gave us that horrendous team-up of Aerosmith, Britney Spears, and Justin Timberlake that one year. The last year they were allowed to do halftime they brought out Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson. And we all know how that turned out. Thanks to that fiasco, we've gotten the likes of Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and the Who at halftime because TV execs know they won't show any nip-nips on live television. Now I'll give you that Springsteen has put out some critically acclaimed stuff in the past 10 years, but the rest of them haven't had a bonafide new hit in more than two decades. Fuck MTV for that!
-
I thought it wa a gag that I just was not in on.
-
The first time I heard about this show, it was when all the news stations were showing clips of Snooki getting hit in the jaw at the bar, and then from that, I started hearing about how MTV has sunk to new lows and these people are the worse scum of the earth... that kept going and then like I said a couple weeks ago I watched an episode online because I was f'ing tired of being ignorant about the show. I rarely if ever watch reality programming, or tv for that matter.
But as I watched I realized that, no surprise, people just like to bitch and flap their lips about shit they don't understand. These are normal kids in their early 20s, partying, and having sex, and trying to have fun. That's it. It's nothing more sinister than that, and despite some of the hairstyles, I really can't remember that fact that everyone was Italian being brought up that much.
Personally, I like it when my expectations are challenged, and I like it when my preconceptions about people turn out to be wrong.
-
but it doesn't mean someone should put a camera on it and broadcast it. but watch it anyway, because you never know, your preconceptions might be off and you truly enjoy that hot, steamy entertainment (in 3-D starting this Fall!!)
-
"Snookin' For Love" was what I heard. Anyway, glad there's gonna be another season but I'm frankly surprised.
Ronnie and Sammi seemed to have broken up during the reunion over the Situation clip - no doubt they were going to get back together but I wouldn't have expected him to have anything to do with Mike ever again.
I think Ronnie and Sammi are so much in love they don't know how to handle their feelings. It's probably the first instance of true love for them both.
My favorite cast member has got to be Pauly D. Nothing fake about him (unlike Mike) and he's just a genuine guy. I hope he got rid of that stalker for good. That girl is straight up Fatal Attraction. -
Yes, apart of me wants to just say Fuck MTV. Fuck them for not changing their name to RTV. Fuck them for not BEING MTV. Fuck them for NippleGate. But then another part of me rightfully points the finger for NippleGate at the puritanical nutballs that MTV happily gives the finger to. If even a sliver of the other channels out there were half as ballsy (and it pains me to even call MTV ballsy), then I'd reserve saying as such. But that's not the TV World we get to live in.
-
DJ fuckin' Pauly D. The biggest douchebag looking parody you could ever imagine. Like, your mind couldn't make a figure that douches more bags. And then he turns out to be the most standup guy on the show. What. The. Hell. Guess looks really aren't everything, even if you do look like an Oompa Loompa.
-
I know enough about the show to know that it won't interest me. There is nothing really compelling and intriguing about it. Therefore, I will not cast any judgement about the show or those who watch the show. To each their own. But I do think it is time to target ANYTHING that advertises itself as a "reality" show where the participants KNOW they are being taped. This is not reality. It's merely a television show. Reason being that people act different when they know they are being filmed. Ever taken a picture of someone with a camera and not told them you were taking it? Very natural slice of life stuff. Tell someone your taking a picture of them? Their face contorts and their body tightens up and their eyes shoot around their head and their mouth puckers and smiles etc.. And it's somewhat entertaining and amusing...but it's not real. It's a carefully dictated and thought out representation of an individual who knows they are being captured on media. And don't even get me started with the producers of these shows who poke and prod the participants to skew attitudes, personalities, situations, etc.. All well and good, just stop calling it reality. I think we all know better.
-
That was a really dumb attempt at twisting what I was saying. Fact is, you haven't seen a show and you look like a jackass for criticizing something you've never seen, and worse, taking out your own fear of being gay on normal, well adjusted adults who happened to have watched a show that airs on MTV. Get over yourself.
-
just the ones with orange skin
-
Sick of the MTV adverts and tie-ins.
And that Julissa cunt who hosted the reunion is a fucking bitch for blindsiding Sammi like that. That was cruel. Sammi is a sweetie. -

That's why it's called a "Staged, Unscripted Program"
by cylon_conspiracy
But there is still reality in it. One of my favorite episodes is when one of the chicks was trying slap the Situation in the face (they were in the living room) and one of the security guards walks into the frame and tries to restrain her. That was funny.
So it's not totally real but real stuff happens, it's more about the way they react to each other that is interesting to me. -
Jersey Shore also blew the lid off the "reality" moniker. These folks model themselves like cartoon characters. When you have a member of the cast named "The Situation" strutting around, reality has been tossed out the window. By a fridge. That was nuked. The fact that we find these creatures to only be human, makes for some mindbending revelations, I tell you what. It's like finding out The Mad Hatter is actually just like your quiet neighbor, or that Spongebob Squarepants turns out to be an ideal co-worker.
-
Pretty hard too. And he deserved it. She was drunk and asked him to accompany her to the room. THAT is responsible behavior. He was being a total prick for having her kicked out of the club to go home alone.
Granted, she had a tv crew ... but still. -
He's not interested in wasting time.
Go home, get into the hot tub, then get busy. Sounds efficient to me. -

LOOKS LIKE THE SITUATION LIKES TO TALK ABOUT FAMIGLIA
by bringingsexyback
But he sure as shit don't know what it's like to BE famiglia.
-
all to themselves. Those two live to fight with each other and make-up. It's kind of nauseating really but you still want them to succeed.
-
People love the situation but that guy just is mean and loves to hurt people. Maybe that's why the show got such a bad wrap. Everyone else on the show is pretty decent and normal. Except for that chick that got fired on like the second episode. She was a nutter.
-
Maybe he's got more juice than that head can handle.
-
Nobody liked her. She brought her stuff in garbage bags. LOL
-
to not go to work, then started fake coughing to trick herself into believing she was sick. Then locked herself in the bathroom when the boss came over all pissed off trying to see why she couldn't bother with a phone call. And she acted like it was his fault, jesus christ.
And he kicked her ass to the curb, and as she left, no one in the house gave a shit. -
That previous sentence sounded like it was written by an insane person.
-
That won't sell commercial time to advertisers, sir. Hence, the show is tagged as a "reality" show. I guess my question is would the people on these shows do anything differently if there were no cameras?
-
That's gotta be the payoff for watching this, right? Right?
-
I don't know about the words they use with advertisers, sir. Don't call me sir, I'm not in the military.
I would think that with years of experience, they know how to keep the camera people in the background. Besides, if you lived in a house with a crew for 3 months, every day, you'd adapt pretty quickly.
And since you've never actually seen the show, and I have to do the actual work for you, I never saw any of the cast saying "oh my god! There's someone with a camera looking at me! Oh no!"
Of course they could have edited that stuff out. But I don't recall anyone looking in the camera, other than the little private interviews they give. -
Of course they get into contrived situations because of the camera crews ... but that's expected of ANY reality show.
Some of the fights they got into - mostly with Ronnie - were with guys who taunted them because of the cameras. And no doubt they hooked up with many girls who wanted to be on MTV.
Sure, you can rightly say this show is shallow, ridiculous, and a brain cell killer. But it's still entertaining. I wouldn't watch a live execution but it ain't no crime to be entertained by something of a televised social experiment starring a bunch of naive 20-somethings (except Mike - he's 30 I think). -
it's OK to openly make fun of them. Enjoy it why it lasts, assholes!
-
Which by MTV standards, makes him a dinosaur. SHOOT HER. SHOOOOOT HER.
-
Just die already MTV. Preferably a painful death.

Star Wars Clone Wars just did a very entertaining episode with M
by beyondthunderdome2girls1cupbillcosby
Mandalorians! Last weeks was good to, going back to the seedy streets of Coruscant. No but yeah, Jersey Shore, that's cool too, yeah.
-
I'm not knocking the content or entertainment value of anything on this or ANY show of this type. I just take issue on the word reality being used, that's all. For example, if I told you to go to the kitchen and make a sandwich, you'd go in and make a sandwich (unless you're an idiot who has never made one before, in that case I'm sorry). But, if I told you to go in the kitchen and make a sandwich in front of a camera crew that would be broadcasting you into millions of homes around the country, you may make the sandwich differently. I know the situation is mundane and all, but imagine if instead of making a sandwich I told you to go to a night club or a bar. I'm just saying that people act differently when they know they are being filmed. Oh, and you do realize that MTV didn't stumble upon these people in a house, right? These people went through rigourous casting calls and they were all matched up to see who would be compatible together (or in most cases, less compatible). You can delude yourself into thinking what you are seeing is real, but all it is a carefully casted TV show. And as for being able to adapt to tripping over a fucking camera crew for 3 months, speak for yourself. If that is something YOU can get used to, more power to you.
-
If you look at my previous post I said that the producers specifically choose people they think will be interesting. It's kind of obvious that they come up with a certain dynamic and hope it plays out.
Instead of getting mad at the idea of reality, just let it be what it is. It's a different type of reality.
It's not that big of the deal, man. It's a t.v. show. It's gonna be ok. -
it would be nothing but guys saying "GL raped my childhood" and "prequels suck". I don't think I could handle all that hate. Still it is kind of dumb that there is no CW talkback. But it's not like Jersey Shore takes away from that being an option.
-
Whats goin on man? First GI Joe and now this??!! Is everything okay at home?

I Hope All of These Wops Die in a Fire
by the_floating_skull_of_robert_loggia
And I want to be the one to light the match.
-
This "show" is why I hope the Mayan calendar is right.
-
See, to ME, the TRULY offensive vapidity and mediocrity is in stuff like The Bachelor, The Real World, and hell, even Oprah. And I actually think the kids on this show have more class or at least hang together on a more familial level than on most reality shows... you want to see REAL lack of class and REAL trash, watch the Housewives or hell, just about any reality show featuring a second rate self absorbed celebrity. This show has been fire bombed as the nadir of society, but I actually think it's just a red herring for where the real trashiness lies.
-
Oh, and I've spent many, many summers at the Jersey shore... they didn't model themselves as anything. They were approached in clubs and bars around the shore by casting. Trust me, spend a few weeks in Belmar... you'll see many, many 'Situations', Snickers, and Pauly D's, but I must say, I do think they managed to find the most unique versions of your typical guido or guidette. And also, not sure if anyone remembers, but True Life I have a summer share at the Jersey Shore had a guy named Tommy who was the precursor to this show. WHERE'S MY CHEESE BALLS! THIS IS MY AREA! If you haven't seen it, run, do not walk your fingers over to youtube and check out some clips. "Tommy Jersey Shore".
-
Bad enough to live here, bad enough to have 75% of friends and family dead from cancer or drugs. Bad enough to deal with assholes from NYC and Philly when I hit the cancer states' beaches. But these numb fucks are on TV?? New Jersey, I live here... oh well fuckin' Nuke the site from orbit
-
shit, or any other so-called "reality show", kindly shoot yourself and take yourself out of the gene pool, lest the Idiocracy hold sway, although I suspect it is far too late. As for that "How can you bitch about if you haven't seen it!" crap, Fuck off! I have enough brain power to know raw sewage at first sniff. I don't need to wallow in it. The only thing these, and all the other attention whores out there who appear in these kind of things deserve is multiple kicks to the head with steel toed boots. After that, we can go after the producers and pureyors of this ass cancer.
-
and have him wack the entire cast on nationwide tv and will someone please explain to snooki that the beehive hairdo is from the 50s, and no, she didnt invent it? hayden panitierre now has competition for most annoying midget
-
WWE Raw does consistently better numbers than Jersey Shore. I'd personally be ashamed of myself for watching this piece of garbage series. I couldn't stomach it even out of curiosity. What kind of a fucking retarded douche calls themselves "Sookie" and "The Situation"? That's neither clever nor witty, it's plum fucking retarded. No, this isn't a "guilty pleasure" series. It's a "I negate any opinion I have on anything ever again ever on anything if I watch this" Meaning you can't say anything bad about anything.
-
need to get laid.
-
...this way there's no way at all my money's going into the collective payment to MTV Networks to pay for shit like this. If I wanna watch big-titted, c*m catching airheads, I can watch Sábado Gigante.
-
and other various things that you do not want.
-
..this is a big pile of shit.
-
I know Herc loves MTV, but at least he is technically an adult. My problem with the network is that the average viewer is a 12 year old girl (average age actually went down one year via a new poll). So here we have 12 year old girls who watch this crap thinking these idiots are role models to aspire to, not some pathetic display of humanity like they actually are.
-
So if you're a reader of coaxial and you're on your high horse saying that people who watch reality shows need to off themselves...meanwhile you watch soap operas like Lost, or any of the numerous geeky sci-fi shows...or if you spend a large portion of your paycheck to buy comic books which are basically illustrated children's books for stunted adults.....what was I saying....basically...fuck off.
-
Ya know, I don't belive in violence against Women, but I think that Snookie somehow asked to get her clocked cleaned. gawd what an annoying lil bitch. I had my share of Italian Women (actually I'm married to one.) and they had way more class than any of these Goomadas put together.But hey, I guess it's fair game since MTV has always shown the ignorant perspective of Black Americans in the past and possibly the present.
-
None of those cock sucking whores deserve a goddamn dime. It's typical american garbage and these sacks of shit need to be shot in the face as do the worthless fucks watching it.
-
Now, if they were African American, would you still say that? I can understand if people don't like the show...that's fine....but murder? Really? Hate of such an intensity that you'd like to murder someone really comes from a personal place...maybe you're jealous because, trashy as they are, they get more girls than you. I'm betting a nerd named alienindisguise at a geek website isn't scoring a lot of women.
-
What can I say? I'm easily amused!
-
about this show--it's obviously haven't left the basement much. Most of the allure for this show is young 30 somethings reliving their 20s--like me, and unlike you. This brings back many memories of living single, partying, and having little worries. Now of course things have changed for me, but damn if this show isn't entertaining.
-
sorry one of probably a few grammatical errors.
-
you get the point
-
Is she the new definition of 'taking someone out of the trailer park but not being able to take the trailer park out of the person?'
-
What a waste of space...
-
...no photograph exists of this girl where she isn't arching her back with her hand on her hip.
-
Then that picture tells me all I need to know about the show.
-
defending this show...Then the shark has officially been jumped.

I can't believe anyone is actually defending this piece of shit
by stabby
Especially on a movie lovers web site. This is not art, this is not entertainment, this is not even bad tv, which can be fun. This is human excrement. And possibly the worst thing ever put on tv. Fine if you want to watch this sewage, that's your business. Go ahead and waste valuable hours of your life. But don't come on here and defend it. Go to the MTV message boards with the rest of the retards. Your film geek privileges have been revoked.
-
Don't come to a Jersey Shore talkback to talk about liking the show? If you don't like the show so much...perhaps you shouldn't be clicking on a talkback about the show.... What a bunch of pretentious douchebags. Yeah, I'm sure all these high-brow fuckers are watching PBS specials and documentaries...when the truth is they watch Family Guy, Lost, Parks and Rec, American Idol, Saturday Night Live...and tons of other tv trash.
-
MTV airs loads of shows I don't care for, they have for decades. And I don't care about them and never watch. That's what you do.For some reason Jersey Shore clicked with me and obviously a bunch of people who normally don't watch this style of show. I have lots of theories as to why, but regardless it's great silly television.Should I be hung up by my toenails and/or have my right to procreate taken away from me? SO BE IT!

is that you're a moron like the waste of life douchebag loser human excrement on this show. And yes I have watched a few episodes of the show. And yes, Wordage, I do watch PBS specials and documentaries as well as Family Guy. But there is no way in any reasonable state of mind that you can compare this heaping pile of shit to a show like Lost. Not in this universe nor any alternate universes, you dumbass.
-
is that there shouldn't even be a TalkBack on AICN for this fucking worthless piece of shit and Herc is an asshole for posting one.
-
GTL Baby! GTL!
-
EXACTLY... to pretend that all the other shit on t.v. is high art is disingenuous at best. See, to me, this show is just a bunch of whacky personalities, getting into bad 'situations' almost in spite of themselves, and spouting a bunch of one-liners, every other one of which is a real gem... and a lot of you obviously haven't watched the show much, because 'hooking up' for these kids usually involved going no further than making out. If you'd watched, you'd know what a grenade is and why these guys usually went to bed with their dick in their hand. The real trash is on the Real world. Why shouldn't they get as much or more than the fucking vapid, useless, monosyllabic brats on The Hills? At least these kids have actual personalities, families, and things that they value. You can't even say that about the shitheads that wind up on the Real World. You want to see self-absorbed, black holes of human excrement, watch just about any reality show that's on one of the big networks... THAT shit is trash. I think American Idol is FAR trashier and more a harbinger of the downfall of art in civilization (actually, an entire art form - MUSIC) than a bunch of 20 somethings doing what 20 somethings SHOULD be doing - trying to have a good time. Life is too miserable as it to begrudge people that.
-
Jersey Shore is a trashy show, and there's no pretense about it. One of the reasons it's trashy (yet very entertaining) is because of the violent tendencies of some of the characters. Yet, the people who hate on the show with a passion often show the same violent tendencies, yet some have gone further beyond wanting to fight people, claiming that those in the show, and those who watch it, should be shot and killed, or sterilized, etc... The mentality of those haters is just as disgusting...the main difference is, they are cowards who do so behind their computers, and if they were to say these things to some of the cast, they would likely get their ass handed to them and be drinking out of a straw for the next few weeks. But they are just as trashy as those they claim to hate.
-
...that I even find myself on AICN to comment on the fact that a show about despicable orange morons is not only airing on television, but its a cultural phenomenon. I don't see how entertainment can sink much deeper, but I'm sure MTV will find a way. Until then, the only immunization against this shit is still hotchickswithdouchebags.com.
-
There's so much trash on TV on a nightly basis, from Extreme MakeOver: Home Edition, to Real Housewives of whatever city, to Desperate Housewives, the numerous CSI incarnations, Grey's Anatomy, Gossip Girl, the Maury Povich show, WWE wrestling....it's all trash. Yet people who watch those shows are sticking their nose in the air at Jersey Shore because it's one of the few shows that is honest about what it is.
-
Superficial people concerned about their appearance, wanting to hook up with members of the opposite sex, and huge egos and belligerent attitudes towards those who disrespect them.
-
It's all total worthless dogshit and I have no problem labeling it as such. And I have to admit that I think less of people who actually watch and endorse those shows. What, we can call out people on AICN for liking Epic Movie or Tom Hardy as Max, but we should give the fans of shit like Jersey Shore a pass? No offense, but if you watch that show, at the very least you have bad taste. But to each their own.
-
...you might be right, but I am probably foolish enough to still have a higher opinion of America than to equate it to a bunch of repulsively narcissistic oompa loompas. The day that Jersey Shore represents America is the day I join the Taliban.
-
or their apologists. I'd just like to see them flushed down the toilet like the shit they are.
-
I never watch MTV, and I have only ever glanced at spattering of "reality" TV over the years. Not my thing. But Jersey Shore just worked. It's unapologetic in its trashiness, the cast is not cookie cutter beautiful like you normally see on TV, they're not all super young, they have lives families and careers. They're not aspiring actors living in LA. Obviously they're cashing in now but it's not like it was some lifelong dream. AND its not politically correct!My favorite thing about it, is that they went to a niche. Every bit of entertainment from TV shows to radio stations try to cater to the greatest common denominator. We need to have a black person, we need to have a gay person. They try to be as cross culture as possible to represent everyone and in turn end up representing no one. This show went for this one little niche bit of culture, and regardless of whether you identify with it, it's real. Those people are those people. And that ironically ended up appealing to a more cross cultured audience then they ever could have manufactured. And I find that entertaining and original in an otherwise predominantly yawn inducing television landscape.Or maybe I'm just a moron douchebag, either way.
-
Remember when this used to be a common mantra among liberals?
-
But damn if I'm not 100% behind Snooki in her quest for the juicehead of her dreams. Here's to Snickers guzzling cum from her husband, and not some random stranger. Good luck, girl.
-
....while the like of "toddlers and tiaras" is on TV.....not sure what to say there. The absolute dregs of human waste in the history of television are the people responsible for these "child beauty pagaents." Jersey Shore isn't even CLOSE

-
Hate or Like it, why is this on Ain't It Cool News ?
-
I too figured the show would be typical MTV bullshit, but I was surprised by it. The people seem pretty genuine and while the show is funny, I am usually laughing with the cast as opposed to at them. These people are genuinely likable in their own way. They know who they are, and they don't try to be anything other than that. I guess there is something intriguing about people like that.
-
How is this geek news? Pathetic.
-
the nail in the coffin for this talkback?
-
I'm proud to say I gave up on that waste of bandwidth back in the early 90s. MTV2 looked mildly interesting, but not enough to pay for.
Along with AMERICAN IDOL, its sole purpose seems to be routinely handing off fame and fortune to worthless, irritating douchebags so we have to endure their fifteen minutes of fucking bullshit rather than discuss this country's debt situation, lack of healthcare, industrial regression, etc.
As for Jerkoff Shore, send these fucking embarrassments to the Italian community to Haiti to clean latrines. -
I can never support shit television like this. Never. The best thing MTV has done in years is decide to play repeats of Buffy the Vampire Slayer weekdays at 11 am. But what that has to do with music television is beyond me...
-
This crapola is scripted just like every other "reality" show on TV. Which I think makes this twice as bad as the others because someone is actually writing this shit..
-
This show is pure stimulation for your reptilian brain. I haven't been entertained by a "reality" tv show in quite a while (aside from Man vs. Food, Man vs. Wild, a couple of the first ridiculous episodes of Steven Segall's "Lawman) but holy shit did I get sucked in after watching a few minutes of Jersey Shore. It's "Hot chicks with Douchebags" come to life! I don't think they can recreate the magic of the first season, and I think it'll be even less "real" now than it already was when you have people with MTV cameras following them around, now that these people are famous.
I love how angry it makes talkbackers that people watch this show. Usually I'm one of those people, especially when it comes to shit like American Idol, The Bachelor, and the like. Jersey Shore is an entirely different animal, the best analogy I can make is Jersey Shore is to Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li as American Idol is to Transformers 2. Damn, that probably wasn't a great analogy. One is so bad it's good, while the other has not gone over that threshold yet. There.
-
that AICN's only TV guy spends his time covering crap like Shitbag Shore and SNL and professing his unhealthy obsession with Joss Whedon over and over again and many of the really good shows on television get overlooked or forgotten because Herc doesn't watch them. He's a "critic" who can't get past his own biases long enough to give better coverage, so we're stuck reading article about shit like Jersey fucking Shore. It's as bad as when Harry was covering Twilight. IT'S FUCKING RETARDED, and the fans who have stayed with this site even as it has slowly descended from its once high perch toward the seventh layer of Hell are upset that a show like this would even be mentioned on AICN. It's like Harry's slowly watching his entire site die and he doesn't give a fuck. On the TV section alone, Herc either needs to be told to cover a broader range than just his likes or be replaced by someone who will. Or at the very least, add another TV critic who understands that you just can't stick to what you like and nothing else. Now, I will give Herc that he manages to put his weekly TVDVD release column out on a regular basis (which the head of the site can't seem to do anymore with his DVD column, but when Herc does, he locks out the TB so noone can comment because I think sometimes he knows what will be said about his tastes. Jersey Shore not only represents the mind-numbing downfall of TV and American culture, but of AICN as well.
-
We're saddened. At how low America's collective intelligence and taste has dropped that something truly mindnumbing and repellant can become a hit tv show. I always said that the first sign of the apocalypse would be when Carrot Top got his own reality tv show. But, I think it's already begun.
-
Every Italian I know, Southern and Sicilian anyway, are capable of achieving very nice natural tans. Is this something that is addressed in the show. I mean, if you were truly that into tans you would think that you would want the most beautiful natural tan you could get. Seriously, I'm truly interested in an honest answer to this.
-

JERSEY SHORE is the reason the West should fall...
by thekylegassproject
-
I suppose the reasoning for Sicilians being capable of acheving nice tans would be the obvious answer: they have that "Black" blood running in their veins. That partially (also) explains why some Southernitalian/sicilian women have good complexions and such big asses. (well, the one's I dated back then anyway.)It's all about the pigmentation ergo that oily olive skin. You don't have to take my word, but it's somewhat of an apt explanation.And those Joisey Shore assholes are further embarrasment to the Italians since the Mafia or to a lesser extent Guiliani.:P
-
BIG LOVE is face-melting this season. yet you're covering these leathery, english-butchering fuck holes?
herc, reality tv is a BAD thing. don't you see this? it's contrary to everything we love about good television. if we wanted to see these brain-dead roid ragers, WE WOULD GO TO JERSEY AND SEE THEM... -
sorry, herc... just saw the BIG LOVE talkback.
gonna head over there after i dislodge my foot from my mouth.
but srsly, there are many volumes worth of material on the boob tube right now that deserve coverage over fucking JERSEY SHORE... -
but my question was really asking why these retards have fake tans instead of real tans since they are italian and as you and I agree perfectly capable of achieving a natural tan.
-
Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Federico Fellini, Sophia Loren, Marcello Mastroianni, and Mario Andretti? Now we've got The Situation and Snooki.Why in the HELL do we glorify trash like this?
-
and pizza place owners. God, I miss those days.
-
I never watched the show or really knew these Guidos and Goomadas were such posers (i.e. Fake tans, wannabee playas or gangstas)shit, i felt kinda bad for Tyson when he was up on stage with those fuckers while presenting some award.(Tyson may have been a fuck up, but he wasn't some pretentious douche like those Joisy boys.) Funny remark about how Italians were often know for owning Pizza Restaurants because in certain neighborhoods Pizza Places are now owned by Middle easterners or east indians. LOL True fact.
-
that Galiaeo fella as well as Marconi who invented the Radio.Da Vinci was ahead of his time so yeah, I give the Italians a shout-out for their contributions be it the Arts,Culinary skills and Sexy Semi voluptuous Women who were great lovers..as well as cooks. (0;
-
There's always a handful of people who aren't into reality TV and will log on to bash any reality show. But Jersey Shore has really got people incited!
Now, I logged on to say that I can't see how a second season featuring the same characters is going to work. I imagine they'll bring in a new 8th girl and put them somewhere else, but it still seems awfully redundant.
The downfall of civilization? Yes, because in the past everyone was ever so highbrow...Puh-Leeze! If you think reality is staged and trashy, fine...it is. But people are really going overboard.
On a tangent, "Toddlers & Tiaras" is actually pretty shocking! And I've only seen the clips on Soup. It's not the show itself that's so shocking, it's the parents and pageant people.
Jersey Shore was a mildly entertaining program that somehow caught on. As far as being "guidos," Pauley D's tattoo and mixing board are the only things that even identify them as Italian. They're pretty much generic douchebags IMO...they even deck themselves out in Ed Hardy gear to prove it. (And, yes, if you rock Ed Hardy, you are a douchebag). -
I mean, how are they able to get one or two clips when the ENTIRE show is a train wreck?
As for the stupid looking fake tans that most of the characters have, hey, once hot chicks stop trying to bang guys who look like that at the shore, they'll have a reason to stop but until then that nasty orange fake tan will be in style in that part of the country, and same goes for the girls. I think they brought up on the show that going to the beach to achieve a tan takes time, and they want to get a tan in the fastest way possible. They obviously don't give a fuck about the quality of the tan, long as they have that burnt orange post-apocalyptic glow. -
including Flavor of Love and i actually enjoyed that show to some degree. But, Jerkoff Snore is just the lowest of the lowest. Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than Chance of Love: here come the guidos! I'm actually embarrassed for Italian Americans. Sure, there were a lot of stupid African Americans on Flava of Love, but they didn't make their ethnicity a constant plot point like these idiots do.
-
to change their cable station call letters, why doesn't Mtv and VH1 do this also since they don't play Music or Video Hits.
-
Is that like a burlesque thing so that it looks like you're stripping when you're really not?

Homer Sexual, re "only things...identify them as Italian"
by immortal_fish
"Pauley D's tattoo and mixing board are the only things that even identify them as Italian"I beg to differ. Did you see the garage door and various wall hangings? The flag of Italy with the New Jersey state image over the center. The movie poster of Scarface (Cuban, I know, yet played by an Italian actor). Sammi bitching at the runaway Rhinos that they "don't even look Italian." They were eating sausage grinders when Pauly D was on the phone with his stalker. "Fine! You're uninvited to Ravioli night! You're uninvited to chicken cutlet night!" On and on. You couldn't have missed all this.They embraced who they are with abandon and without apology... and I loved it!
-
The reason why they don't go out in the sun was explained at least at one point during the show. It all comes down to GTL -- Gym, Tan, Laundry. At a tanning booth, you're in and out, with plenty of time to do the other two chores. And the tan comes quicker and more evenly without having to lay around uncomfortably in the heat.These people are such cartoon characters. And after awhile, you start to realize that these are actually real people!
-
That's true, there are more Italian identifiers than I paid attention to....also, like another poster said... very Flava of Love. Those girls owned their ghetto-fabulours (or just plain ghettoness). Also, Flavor of Love was more entertaining.
My biggest surprise is how a show that is, at best, mildly entertaining, has become such a phenom.
And I still say they are primarily defined by being douchebags. Italianos, yes, but moreso douchebags. Based on my LA-ness where there's very few Italians but tons of douchebags. From many different ethnic backgrounds. All rocking Ed Hardy. -
...doesn't mean it's not good tv.
-
Homer Sexual, I only kinda recognize your TB handle, yet I know you've been here quite a while. I'm going to go out on a limb here and presume your TB handle is an indication of your sexual persuasion. I apologize, here and now, if that ain't so.Anyhow. Can't you admit that there is a metric ton of crap on the Style network alone that does you and others of your ilk a disservice? Let alone elsewhere. Meaning that what is portrayed on TV is the fringe exaggeration instead of the entire dynamic that makes up what your demographic is?Lookit... In the 90s, we were all told that the Sopranos is eeeBUL because it represents Italians as wiseguys. And here in the current decade, we're all being told that Jersey Shore is eeeBUL because it suggests that all Italians are douchebags. I mean... which is it?If I were to believe that the garden variety Gay Pride parade is wholly representative of the homosexual community as a whole, then I would be shutting myself off from a major chunk of humanity while incubating my own personal brand of bigotry.
-
The shelf life for these guys is going to be paper thin. Everyone is laughing at them, and soon they'll become boring and people will find something new to laugh at. Popular like a train wreck right now but it'll come crashing down soon. And thank fucking god for that.
-
is it not more pathetic that you have put time into coming here with your little meaningless rants then it is for anyone to admire this show for what it is - fucking funny.
it is funny. plain and simple. i don;t feel i have wasted any of my life watching it. my life is richer for knowing these fucking guys exist. -
No; Hell No; Yes, you have; Your life must be truly meaningless.
-
So, let me get this straight: they live at the shore, but yet they don't go to the beach to get a natural looking tan for free. Instead, they pay for a spraytan that looks orange and fake. Can you say Tohtahly Ritahded?!
-
An underachiever is someone who has the wherewithal or potential to achieve something fruitful in his or her life, but fails to do so. I am an underachiever.
The Jersey Shore cast never had this potential. They are, in fact, massive overachievers. Good for them. I've only seen 10 minutes of this show, but laughed heartily at them.
If the dreg Snookie can bank $10,000 a week for being her stupid self, she is a fantastically-successful overachiever.
-
I totally agree. It's pretty pathetic for someone to repeatedly post in a talkback over a period of days to talk shit about a show they claim not to watch, and the people who watch it. As for the people claiming that other shows deserve talkbacks more than this one, perhaps you could list some of these educational and enriching programs that deserve talkbacks.
-
we need jersey shore!!!
its the funniest show on t.v by a mile. -
Completely across cultures. I've seen so many different kinds of people into this show. I first decided to give a look after I overheard 3 friends discussing it in bar. 3, 30 year old men, 2 construction workers and 1 cop, 2 Irish and 1 Jewish. After that I figured it was worth a glance. I mean even the fact that it does get a thread here on Aicn and there are plenty of people here who are obviously watching is pretty impressive.And aside form all that, Slappy hit it right on the head. It's just funny.
-
Wow! More dumb Dagos from Jersey, what a revelation! Sure, they all have fantastic bodies, but are dumb as fucking rocks. I pity anyone who sets time aside to watch this degrading, instantly forgettable tripe.
-
Snookie is a complete ugly, nasty bitch. I wouldn't fuck her with a stolen dick.
-
It is the same psychology as why people like watching Jerry Springer. People enjoy watching and laughing at people who are dumber than themselves and more pathetic than themselves in order to feel better about themselves and their own meaningless lives. It's the same reason people make fun of other people and why bullies exist. That's it, I'm out. I won't waste anymore of my life posting here as Wordage correctly suggests.
-
"...who are dumber than themselves and more pathetic than themselves in order to feel better about themselves and their own meaningless lives." Actually, you've just summed up what you've been doing in these talkbacks for the last few days...but your assertion that we are dumber than you is more of a wish. "It's the same reason people make fun of other people and why bullies exist." Again, see above...you've been doing a pretty hefty share of name-calling in this talkback...and fans of this show tend to stick around because while some of them are douchebags, others defy the stereotypes and have a surprising amount of humanity under the "guido" facade.
-
Word of mouth (and their various appearances elsewhere) is more than good enough.And the 'Word" is how trashy these Goomba fuckers are.And yes, Snookie is one Fugly Bitch, maybe that Teacher did her a favor by "re-arranging" her looks.
-
...to spend a lot of your time talking about a show you supposedly don't like and never watch...and to keep checking back to find out what people are saying about this show that is supposedly a complete waste of yours and everyone's time. Keep checking back here...I have a lot to say about the show...you're not going to want to miss it...it's must read!
-
First of all, it's not a matter of who watches the show or not but the sensationalism behind it.MTV is desperate for ratings like any other network that would focus on negative portrayls of certain groups.i.e. Flava of Love.Obviously you have plenty of time to waste when you tune into shit like this.And oh, I don't care what you have to say about the show since it's apparant that you are endorsing it.And the same could be said about you, why are you coming back and forth to this thread.Hypocrite much?
-
Because I'm a fan of the show! Duh. Wasting time on something you're interested in isn't time wasted. Since you keep coming here to talk about the show, here's some details I promised you. All the original cast will be back, and even Angelica has signed on, but MTV only signed her to commit to coming back, but they might not use her on the show. You know who Angelica is, right, Stalkeye? Of course you do! You've been studying this show enough now that you know every detail about this show that is supposedly a complete waste of even a second of your time. Keep checking back, Stalkeye...I'll give you more of the JerseyShore details you crave.
-
Those same hypocrites are the so-called former "Star Wars" fans who live to bash it, yet hate it, but will watch anything associated with it. People love to bitch about stuff they don't like or understand. I hate these dumb greasy Dagos, hence my rage.
-
And they don't replace her. She blew her opportunity and was not apart of the first season success whatsoever. The 7 of them are the cast and it's perfectly fine that way.
