I still have difficulty understanding or enjoying reality TV especially these “Real World” type shows. The shows are voyeuristic and I feel great discomfort in the rawness, real or dramatized, that is revealed. I guess I just don’t get it. But that is just baby boomer polly anna me. So I have only heard of Jersey Shore from my adult kids and have not used any time to watch it. Without seeing it,

On the same token, I grew up with nothing but Italians when I was a child and practically lived in a household of 6 Italian boys. I was greatly influenced by these guys and I saw them as my brothers, not realizing that their

Two words: Fist. Pump.

I have never in my life laughed so hard at an MTV show. I keep thinking that these people are just portraying caricatures of themselves, that it's scripted... Then something like Snookie getting cold-cocked in the face brings it back to reality.
