Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is the latest Jersey Shore cast member to sign a development deal with the network for a new reality series. MTV will film a presentation with Sorrentino later this year. It is the same template MTV used with fellow Jersey Shore standouts Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley and Paul “DJ Pauly D” Delvecchio who also shot presentations – Snooki and JWoww together and Pauly separately – under development deals with the network. Last month, MTV picked up both projects to series. At that time, the network’s EVP of programming and head of production Chris Linn confirmed that talks were under ways with other cast members, including Sorrentino, about potential new projects – Jersey Shore spinoffs or other types of reality series – and stressed that there was no politics in picking Snooki, JWoww and Pauly to headline their own shows first. “We feel all of the cast members are breakout stars, and they all have much more to offer,” Linn said. “These are just the projects that came together the quickest.”

Nauseating. what is wrong with us?
the fourth horseman of the apocalypse has arrived….
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
What’s the cumulative IQ in a Mike Sorrentino development meeting?
A sure sign of the impending apocalypse.
F M L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
America is going to shit when you have ” Snooki ” and ” The situaion ” as ” stars for young kids to learn from….no wonder other countries say Americans have no class, look at the choices being put on TV as role models! Entertaiment industry, you guys have to be more moralisitc in your views and your business ideas….you’re not helping to build this country up, but bring it down! There are so many other who would be more ” positive role models “, but yet you don’t use them! You air shows like ” Jersey Shores “, ” Teeange Mom ” ( which promotes irresponsible teenagers to get pregnant out of wedlock )….” Teen shows ” ( promote under age kids doing drugs, having sex and being worthless to society )…..you have to do shows that will send out and promote healthier and more positive messages….you guys have a responsibility to create work that impact people and change lives, so why not do something about ” being good ” as opposed to ugliness!
What exactly is he developing? an STD?
I miss Lauren Lazin and Dave Sirulnick. Good thing they fired Freston for not buying the disaster called My Space as MTV needed to go into this downward spiral which will never return to the massive margins Viacom extracted for so many years. Is that old coot Redstone dead yet?
Please please don’t report stuff like this its not REAL!!!
Do they not realize that the majority of the world would rather light themselves on fire rather than watch Jersey Shore? Much less a new series involving ANY of those idiots.
And then Chris Linn went home and cried and cried and cried.
Assholes really do finish first.
Remember that the next time MTV tries to sell you a series saying likewise.
Ridiculous, pencil-necked fool!
Meanwhile great new shows like The Chicago Code are having a hard time because people are watching crap like Jersey Shore. Seriously…first, he gets a book, now this?
What do you call a sitcom that isn’t funny at all?
The Situation.
GTL baby. Hit the gym, go tanning then pick up the laundry to get ready for a night at The Bazaar. Sounds like the life of a Hollywood agent.
they scraped the bottom of the barrel for that one…
Breakout stars of WHAT?!?! What a joke. This actually just made me nauseous!
All I know is that none of my money will be spent to pay the Situation or the costs associated with this ridiculous TV show.
This is MTV. If you have kids, block the channel and make them watch something else.
They will thank you for it later.
A total of FIVE hours a week of these people? (Not including rerun hours) Watch out MTV – or U’ll have a WHO WANTS…? scenario on your hands should it all come tumbling down. It only takes a DUI or two – or perhaps worse, so scum it all up.
Working title – “Through the Bumhole with Mike Sorrentino”: Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino explores the meaning of his own life – only on MTV (moron television)
everyones gettin a little nookie from snookie. yet, all she does is wine about that dousebag jovanie. personally, i think the only one who got any sense in that zoo is JWOWW. go figure. wow
