“Jersey Shore” canceled? The latest MTV news about the reality show says Snooki, The Situation, JWoww and other cast are in their last season amid falling ratings. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who spoke openly about his disdain for the show, is undoubtedly giving himself high-fives over the show’s departure from television.
According to a Los Angeles Times report Thursday, the uber-tanned bunch of dames and blokes on the MTV series are fading to black after six seasons of raising hell in Seaside Heights.
The reality television series was an instant hit in 2009 when it debuted. At its peak, over 8 million viewers watched a return of the wise-guy vernacular.
While “Jersey Shore,” canceled after its sixth season, closes a chapter in the MTV playbook, cast members like Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Jennifer “JWoww” Farley won’t be leaving reality TV. .
