"Get Ready For A Whole New Crazy"

Where do I begin? This is the BEST trash "reality TV" show that's been on air since I don't know when! In 2003, the MTV series "True Life" aired an episode called "I Have A Summer Share" which introduced the world to the Jersey Shore and what one of the "stars" called "the world's biggest meat market" with a bunch of incredibly tanned, f-bomb dropping, violent, obnoxiously drunk and mostly Sicilian/Italian Americans. For that episode, MTV had sky-high ratings, so high in fact, that they aired another episode for the same series called "I'm A Jersey Shore Girl" which scored even higher ratings. After 6 years, MTV finally gave the Jersey Shore its own show and I friggin' love it!

The 8 cast members are:
-Mike "The Situation"- I'm still trying to figure out why this is his nickname but, he hilariously had tons of tourist girls getting "I Love The Situation" printed on hot pink bootie short underwear. There's a story going around that his abs are so "insane" that they become a "situation".
-Pauly D - a DJ, allegedly the most famous one in Rhode Island and if you have NO CLUE what a Guido is, he fits that stereotype perfectly.
Vinny- he may be the most normal one in the house but, that's not saying much. He'll dance with anyone and is definitely there for the fun, not the drama.
Ronnie- a meathead with a faux hawk, he reminds me of every tool I've ever met.
Angelina "Jolie"- she's a self-proclaimed cock blocker, lazy, and if she's not getting any male attention, she'll start some drama.
Sami "Sweetheart"- She has both Mike and Ronnie fighting over her and she started it by kissing both in one night. But, she let Mike know, she's into Ronnie- you know there's going to be some good drama with two roomies hooking up.
Nicole "Snookie"- is the spoiled princess by far. She had this guy that she took home throw up while she was trying to seduce him and she still walked him home, what a gal.
Jenni "JWOWW"- ahhh...the one girl in the house with a boyfriend that swore she'd NEVER hook up with Pauly because she didn't want to mess up what she has and....you guessed it, she hooks up with him. You have to have one in every "roomie reality show".

The 2-hour premiere had such jewels as "Yo, I will cut your hair while you're sleeping", "I feel like eating ham and drinking water. Ham....(then, blowing out her cheeks)" and  "Don't bring dirty girls back to the house."

Why it took the "brains" over at MTV six looooong years to share Jersey Shore gloriousness with us, is beyond me. But, I'm so grateful that they did. They had some hardships, Italian American groups protested the show saying it is discriminatory against Italian Americans, Domino's Pizza pulled out as an advertiser, and the head of the Jersey Shore Tourist Board is pissed- they think that people will look at this show and not want to come to the Shore. Puhleeeeease. Are you friggin' kiddin' me? First, Italian Americans don't have a problem with mob movies that show Italians slitting throats, snorting coke and burying people in the desert? Get outta here. Secondly, who would watch this show and think that that's how everyone in the Jersey Shore is? Fuggedaboutit. Jersey Shore's here and I've already added it to my DVR list. I can't wait until the next show...what jewels will come then?
