Sunday, May 13, 2012 | Labels: | 0 comments |

Jersey Shore is an American reality television series that premiered on MTV in December 2009 in the United States. The series follows the lives of eight housemates  spending their summer at the Jersey Shore  in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Season 2 followed the cast escaping the cold northeast winter to Miami Beach, with Season 3 returning to the Jersey Shore. The fourth season was filmed in Italy and on the fifth season, the cast returned to Seaside Heights. The fifth season finale was aired on March 15, 2012.

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. The term "guido/guidette" is generally regarded as an ethnic slur when referring to Italians and Italian Americans.
Dubbed a cultural phenomenon, the series has garnered record ratings for MTV, making it the network's most viewed series telecast ever. In 2010, the cast of Jersey Shore was named on Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People list, and the series has since been exported to dozens of countries worldwide. On March 19, 2012, MTV confirmed that the series would return for a sixth season.
