How Did Women Pilot Writers Fare For 2012?
Episode 3 of MTV reality juggernaut Jersey Shore‘s second season last night set new all-time highs for the show: 5.5 million viewers and a 5.3 rating among persons 12-34. They surpassed the previous series high marks posted by the second season premiere 2 weeks ago, which drew 5.3 million viewers and a 5.1 rating in 12-34. This new record probably won’t last long either.

Damn, this train wreck show will never stop !!
That deserves a huge fist pump… The MTV execs deserve to go out creeping tonight!
It’s like watching any other primetime soapy drama, just that they’re guidos and they dress in Ed Hardy.
Ent – Best comment ever
Lord – But these retards think they will be taken serious after the show is over. Least primetime soap actors are acting..
But they’re such lovable tards. Hollywood could find stuff for them to do post-Idol.
Snookin’ for Love could air for several seasons on VH1 or she could replace Elizabeth Hasselback on The View. JWOW could do a stint on Bad Girls Club. Sammi could play one of the girls from 90210 college roommate from New Yawk (who seems dumb as rocks but is really in Mensa) then gets homesick after three episodes never to return. Sitch could pull a Ryan Seacrest and host Simon Cowell’s X-Factor.
I say this one part joking, one part with secret longing as I couldn’t stand to loose another group of vapid reality show friends after the Hills’ demise.
I meant to say post-Jersey Shore (someone’s been following the J. Lo developments)
How can anyone resist? It’s like a trip to the Primate House without the smell.
It is incredibly easy to resist watching the show.
Or really? Then you are you reading this article and responding?
Oh, there’s a smell …
Now that’s funny….
The comment about the primate house, I mean.
too funny. But I hate to admit I watch it. Just want to see how Angelina is going to survive J-wows beat down
I want them to come to LA, audition to be actors/promoters/djs, and see what real industry professionals think. They are way too high on themselves and it makes the show more annoying than the first season.
MVP, baby!
I can resist. The fact that so many young people mistake this crap for entertainment makes me very sad.
Leave it to the American public & media to pump these cretins up to unexplainable heights only to take a sledge hammer to try and knock them back down. They deserve all they can get because we give it to them! If no one watched or paid attention this would have disappeared faster than you can say “John from Cincinnati.”
Love to read the dripping disdain from all you mental giants who sit so high above the rabble. As if anybody gives a shit what you think….
LMAO @ The negativity. Let them have their fun. All the youngin’s wanna do is party & bullish*t. Just turn to your fav show and help it fight the power of 5+ Million viewers.
At least they’re not vampires or a reincarnation of a show that ran 10 years ago with a new twist.
Fist pump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show is fantastic!! If hollywood wants shows like this to disappear they should put something actually entertaining on tv. There is nothing else on but crap so people are forced to watch this. Don’t complain about it, make something that’s actually worthwhile to watch!
MVP!!
What a total piece of garbage, even for MTV. That such a show is so insanely popular among the 12-34 crowd says a lot about the youth of today, and none of it’s good.
We ALL kn0w the show is garbage. Thats is its ultimate appeal (said slinking away in shame)
I love Jersey Shore… Watch what you want people and stop being a hater!!!!
My son is an idiot. This show is complete garbage.
Everyone who is expressing negative thoughts of the show, haven’t watched it.
The show is sooooooo stupid, BUT I LOVE SNOOKI!!!
MTV markets to a very specific demo. There have been stupid, awful TV shows since TV began – because TV is not important in the overall scheme of things. But the industry would love for you to think it is because you will watch it more. If your life has balance, it should only be like a snack you have every now and then. Veggie chips or chili fries? Your choice.
Amy Pascal won’t/can’t learn. 28 Days, Hanging Up,The Sweetest Thing. In fact, one of the TV spots is the exact same vreative as 28 Days abot all the issues women face. Oh, Amy..stop workign out your own stuff on the company dime. Dowomen really have it so much more confusing in matters of love and spirituality than men? you’ve managed to make a life and career and you can’t even dress yourself to not look like an unmade bed!
I’m curious! How low does your IQ have to be to watch this show on a regular basis; and enjoy it?
This show demonstrates how by dumbing down our schools, we have dumbed down our tastes as well.
Anyone watching this show probably doesn’t read many, if any books per year.
I’m curious, how low is your sense of humor?
Seriously, older viewers will never get the appeal. For me, a sophomore in highschool, it’s a chance to laugh at the tools on the show. It also shows me how binge drinking and clubbing is generally a bad idea. Lastly, the guys on the show actually crack some pretty funny jokes. Just because it doesn’t appeal to your generation, doesn’t mean it’s dumbing down anything.
P.S. I read on a regular basis, as do most of my friends who watch the show.
Are you people joking? Do you actually WATCH the show or just parrot what you hear elsewhere? For a bunch of cretins, they sure do act like that favorite ‘Republican institution’, the family. The amount of vitriol thrown at this show is actually a symptom of groupthink and idiocy by the people criticizing… it says more about them then it does about the show. I’ve never seen so much hatred for reality stars who are, GASP!, entertaining characters. The Real Housewives, The Bachelorette, Big Brother, and the rest are FAR, FAR trashier and morally suspect that the Jersey Shore cast. At least they look out for one another. The funniest thing is politicians in New Jersey talking about the show giving the wrong idea about New Jersey… that’s rich… so the 30+ politicians being arrested in an FBI sting last year gives what, the right impression? This show is just another red herring… something for everyone to jump on and hate without ever actually watching it while keeping them distracted from the real problems in this country.
All that I can say is the American public must be the most brain-dead group of people on this Earth! For people to continue watching this garbage and drivel and increasing its ratings, it’s not wonder Moron TV is going to renew this and give these leeches for a cast handsome raises. Unbelievable!
Lots of people pay to see circus chimps wear funny clothes and hop up and down on their knuckles. So what’s wrong with watching other monkeys do the same on TV?
Um…It beat a record for most viewers to view the show? I don’t get it? Will you be posting more sensationalist headlines for every show that has more viewers watching that show than ever before? Or is this just because it’s Jersey Shore and you want the Google hits?
