Damn it feels fucking great to have these kids back in our lives again. Nevermind the fact that Pauly D is 37 (he’s also the only single member of the cast) and none of these people are kids anymore.
The original members of the cast (minus Sammi Sweetheart and Angelina Trash Bags, plus Deena) are all back, this time in Miami. Although the Situation is facing five years in prison on a tax-evasion charge, Single Ronnie is no more (soon to be a father) and Pauly D is an internationally famous DJ, the cast seems to be the same dysfunctional family as always.
We’ve been through a lot with this squad. Who could forget when some jackass on the shore punched the stupid hat right off of Snooki’s head? How about the time J-Woww commented on Pauly’s pierced penis? What about when Ronnie knocked out some goon then jumped down the street yelling “one shot kid!”? You can’t forget when we met The Situation or the emotions we all felt when that girl stood Vinnie up on a date.
All of those classic reality TV moments happened in Season 1!
Here’s where I have a confession to make: I watched every episode of all six seasons. When the show started 9 years ago (!!) we used to have watch parties every week. I lived in a house with 3 other dudes. Since then our friend Jessica moved to Australia, one of the roommates is married with two kids, the other two are homeowners, and I live in a pool house.
As the show rolled along, the watch parties got smaller and then ended, but I soldered on. How could we forget Single Ronnie and The Letter in Miami? Remember when Mike got so mad at Ronnie in Italy that he headbutted a wall and concussed himself? Sammi and Ronnie, Sammi and Ronnie, Sammi and Ronnie. The dynamics of the most famous people in Seaside returning to “work” minimum wage jobs in the T-shirt shop fascinated me.
And that was the true genius of Jersey Shore (and the reason I’m so excited about its come back). The violence, sex, alcohol, and partying drew viewers to the show, but the family dynamic and sociological experiment of the show is what kept me coming back, all the way to the end.
So now the crew is back together (in a mansion in Miami) and I could not be more excited. Over the weekend, MTV ran some best-of clip shows with the current cast narrating and a few sneak peeks into this season. I’ve told people that I’m only gonna watch the premiere and we might only do one podcast, but it’s a lie. I’m hooked.
Watch Jersey Shore tonight and follow along with Jerzday, coming to Grandex Labs Friday morning..

Need a dude’s breakdown of jersey shore. Make it happen.
I’m going to Jersey Shore, bitch!
Tempted to play a drinking game like I did back in college when the original series aired.
guidelines pls, thx mgmt.
“Uber Black is here! I hope we can expense this shit because times have been tough and also like 40% of the Jersey Shore was washed away and then lot on fire in that storm so like where are we going tonight that!?” Lol
D’Jais is still standing and that’s all that matters.
That’s too bad
Nived, not a cool comment. Wishing someone’s business had been washed away in a hurricane? You’re just so intellectual that you’ve above everything i guess… Lol
No, no, it’s not that I want to see someone’s business get blown away by a hurricane, I want to see all the businesses get blown away because it’s 2018 and I’m a staunch supporter of equality and fairness. Plus, we could all have time to be actual people for once and frolic everywhere before Skynet takes over and enslaves us ;(
Shit is going to be catastrophic. Can’t fucking wait.
CABS ARE HERE!
Am I the only one who read this in Micah’s voice?
