This MTV television series began in December 2009 in New Jersey's beach resort town of Seaside Heights. Seaside has long been a rowdy beach town..even before the cast of Jersey Shore arrived.
Although billed as a reality show.... none of the characters are actually from New Jersey.
This waymark's featured photo shows two of the characters (Snooki & The Situation) at the Funtime Amusement Pier which is at the Southern end of the Seaside Boardwalk.
Wikipedia (
visit link) has this to say about the series:
"Jersey Shore is an American reality television series that premiered on MTV on December 3, 2009 in the United States. The series follows the lives of eight housemates spending their summer at the Jersey Shore. Season 2 followed the cast escaping the cold northeast winter to Miami Beach, with Season 3 returning to the Jersey Shore. The fourth season, filmed in Italy, premiered on August 4, 2011.[1][2][3] MTV confirmed in June 2011 that Season 5 will return to Seaside Heights.
The show debuted amid large amounts of controversy regarding the use of the words "Guido/Guidette," portrayals of Italian-American stereotypes, and scrutiny from locals because the cast members were not residents of the area.[4][5][6]
Dubbed a cultural phenomenon,[7] the series has garnered record ratings for MTV, making it the network's most viewed series telecast ever.
The series' cast has also been credited with introducing unique lexicon and phrases into American popular culture, much like Seinfeld was in the 1990's[9][10], it has even been dubbed the Seinfeld of the 2010's[10], and the University of Chicago has announced an academic conference that will examine the show.[11] In 2010, the cast of Jersey Shore was named on Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People list.[10] The series has since exported to dozens of countries worldwide."
