Journal #4: Another Reality Show?

I was alarmed to find out from Josh Terry’s article “Vinny is the Next Jersey Shore Star to get a TV Show” (Newswire.com) that there will soon be yet another realty show based off of the completely ridiculous show Jersey Shore, which has lasted one too many seasons as it is in my opinion. MTV has continuously launched new shows featuring the stars of their hit show Jersey Shore with Snooki, JWOWW, and Pauly D, as if the drama of the original show wasn’t enough to satisfy viewers. The newest launch MTV is working towards is granting the seemingly most normal cast member, Vinny Guadagnino, his own talk show as well. It should be interesting to see if this show leads to success or disaster, as many of their other Jersey Shore spin offs have.




Granted I did find Jersey Shore to be entertaining purely due to the stupidity of the cast, throughout the seasons I have become less and less enthused with the show. With the announcement of the final season I found myself to be somewhat thrilled to not have to put up with obnoxious Jersey Shore commercials and constant reruns. My excitement was only to be shattered with the announcement of shows coming out featuring the cast. Thus far almost all have not been successful and those that are, have basically the same principles as Jersey Shore. How MTV expects this show to be any more successful is beyond me, until then we will all have to wait to see the fate of Vinnie’s new talk show.
