Some of you may remember that there was some fackakta Jersey Shore reunion show this summer that had *most* of the main cast, but was basically just 40ish minutes of nonsense. Needless to say it did not wet our whistles and fill the steroid-sized gaping hole left in our lives when J-Shore went off the waves five years ago.
But then last night, after the premiere of the new redneck version, Floribama Shore (anyone hearing good things?) old friend JWOWW dropped a little bingo dingo on us:
And then the official announcement followed. Jersey Shore will be coming back next year, and not just for like one episode, but a whole fucking season. Christmas came early, y’all!
Per NY Post:
MTV is reviving reality TV franchise “Jersey Shore.”
The Viacom-owned cable channel announced Monday that the series’ original cast members — including Deena Nicole Cortese, Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio,” Jenni “JWOWW” Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino — will reunite for “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” a new series set to premiere in 2018. The announcement came during the Monday night premiere of reality series “Floribama Shore,” which follows a format similar to the original.
This is it! This is like when Christine McVie took that decade-long hiatus from Fleetwood Mac (a dark time in all of our lives), but then she came back! Except instead of “You Make Loving Fun” coming back to the set list, it’s GTL. It’s Sitch cooking up big drunken dinners. It’s Pauly jumping on grenades. It’s Ronnie being a meathead.
Now, it’s not all blueberries and paper airplanes. Looks like no Sammi Sweetheart this time. And that’s really too bad. Because with all of the Situation’s antics, and Pauly’s one-liners, and Snooki and JWOWW being clowns, there was a yin-yang going on with all of Ronnie and Sammi’s relationship drama. I’m not going to pretend that they were going to get cracking five years later just because they’re 30, washed up, and on TV again. But think about how explosive their fights were when they were together. Now imagine how incendiary they’d be as drunken exes! That’s a thunder factory. That’s TV gold Jerry gold. I can only hope Sammi makes some sort of surprise cameo to really ignite some fireworks in the Jason Pierre-Paul hand that is Ronnie.
The absolute BEST part of all of this? Think about how insane Twitter would have been if it was huge back when this show was on TV. Like you know how Bachelor Twitter is so pervasive? Magnify that times a billion and we’ll be in the ballpark for Jersey Shore Twitter. I can’t wait. .

That show is complete dumpster fire.
Excited to run around bars calling short girls Snookie again. They loved it.
You gotta GTL to look FTD to get the girls that are DTF in MIA.
So instead of watching Snookie pee herself in the club, are we going to be watching her change diapers…?
CABS AH HEA
