Is The Sun About To Set On Jersey Shore?
Jan 3rd
Thursday night sees the return of Jersey Shore to MTV – as Season 5 of the guido and guidettes docu-series kicks off. But am I the only person detecting a distinct lack of buzz for the former smash series this time around?
My instinct is that this season will be the year that Jersey Shore finally comes back down to earth after notching up some stellar ratings over the last couple of years.
Let’s be honest – the whole premise of Jersey Shore is kind of a yawn now. The cast look bored and are all more concerned with their outside ventures and future ‘careers’ than ‘performing’ circus style for the MTV cameras. And MTV has rattled out so many series so quickly that there’s not been time for viewers to catch their breath and miss the show. Season 4 only just finished in October and now, just two months later, season 5 arrives. Talk about overkill.
Tallafornia: Check Out The Irish Jersey Shore
Dec 14th
Jersey Shore truly is the STD of the TV world!
Hot on the heels of Geordie Shore and Desperate Scousewives check out Tallafornia, the Irish version of the guidos and guidettes smash!
Yes, it seems that big muscles, fake tan, excessive drinking and hot tub makeouts aren’t just particular to the New Jersey coastline, as the Tallafornia trailer makes clear.
I have to say the dark haired guy is very hot but the blonde guy with the mohawk screams gay to me! And let’s not even get into the cross eyed blonde girl. OMG!
The Tallafornia crowd hail from West Dublin, an area I’ve visited a few times over the years – but I can’t say I’ve ever come across guys that look as good as this.
Tallafornia premiered last weekend in Ireland and proved a big hit, delivering over 1/2 million viewers (in a country whose population is just over 6 million) – so expect the hook ups and bust ups to keep on coming. Funnily enough, over here Jersey Shore has likely peaked and I think is heading for some seriously declining ratings when season 5 debuts in the New Year…
In the meantime check out Tallafornia… in all its tanned and pumped up glory! (more…)
More >Sneak Peek: Jersey Shore Goes Italian
Jul 19th
Here it is – the full length trailer for the latest season of Jersey Shore, famously following the guidos and guidettes as they hit their Italian ‘homeland’.
You don’t need me to tell you what’s in store this season! Drinking, check! Fist pumping, check! Snooki crying, check! It’s pretty much more of the same, except in a foreign locale, so depending on your feelings on Jersey Shore – you’re either going to love or hate the new series…
The two most notable scenes in the whole trailer are Snooki’s famous police car crash (an incident I still think was staged) and Ronnie and The Situation almost getting into a full on fist fight…
I can’t say I watch Jersey Shore on a regular basis these days, but about a year ago I wrote a posting on the MTV smash here on Remote Patrolled in which I applauded the show for being relatively real, at least compared to the likes of Paris Hilton and The Kardashians. I still stand by those comments – though as the show carries on it’s becoming harder and harder to defend! I also think that after this Italian set season, returning to the Jersey Shore itself is going to seems More >
CELEBRITY HALLOWEEN – TRICK OR TREATING WITH THE STARS
Oct 25th
We’re still in the Halloween spirit here on Remote Patrolled – and here’s a fun video that’s just been posted up by the guys at College Humor...
The premise is simple – what would happen if you knocked on the doors of some of 2010′s biggest news-makers?
Some of the gags are very obvious – The Situation and Jay Leno for example – and the skit features a truly terrible Mel Gibson impersonation – but I smiled a few times and it’s slickly executed….
But what do you think? Did you laugh? And who else should have been in there? Enjoy…
COOL CASTING: DANCING WITH THE STARS
Aug 25th
So here they are, in case you haven’t heard, the new Dancing With The Stars cast has been ‘unveiled’ today by Us Weekly.
Now at this stage nothing has been officially announced by ABC, who are planning a live announcement of this year’s cast. But though I expect a couple of names in there to change, like most cast leaks, I have a feeling that the piece is pretty on the money.
So if Us Weekly is to be believed, strutting their stuff on the dance-floor this Fall will be:
Somehow I have a feeling a LOT of people are going to be talking about this clip today – a mash up of Twlight and Jersey Shore… (as you all know I loathe the former – but think the latter is actually a really good reality show! – see my “Shore is good” piece )
Yep Jimmy Kimmel strikes again – and last night he had the Jersey gang starring in a parody of the Twilight movies…
Of course it was Snooki and The Situation who took center-stage! Though neither they, nor their fellow cast members can really act…
Some fun moments along the way here – but I think the parody could have been a lot sharper and funnier… the Twilight movies are RIPE for pot shots…
