Tired of the same old reality shows bloating the television listings? Sick and tired of daily shows edited to the high heavens, choosing select moments from hours of dull footage to extrapolate some kind of drama?
Jersey Shore burst onto the US television scene in 2009, and has taken the world by storm. Set on the Jersey Shore, in New Jersy, New York, the show follows the lives of eight 'guidos' as they try to have the time of their lives on the world famous 'Shore, renowned for its ultra-trendy night clubs and bars, its excessive binge culture, and its complete lack of self-dignity. Sounds like the perfect combination for a fly-on-the-wall reality TV show, right?
It is.
Starring Vinny, Angelina, JWoww, Snooki, Sammi, Pauly D, Ronnie and The Situation (yes, that's his name..albeit his nickname), Jersey Shore is an amalgamation of all that is wrong (and so so right) about trashy American reality programming. Night after night of fighting, drinking and smushing (having sex) leads to high tensions within the household and drama is found around every corner. Season 1 featured a Jersey Shore beach house, whilst Season 2 was based in South Beach, Miami. Thankfully both locations produced plenty of fireworks, though Jersey was notable for its non-stop fighting, must have been something in the water...
If you want brainless, highly amusing guilty pleasure television viewing, then look no further. Like I said...leave your brain at home.
