"The Jersey Shore" is by far one of my favorite new cabletelevision.net. The show follows the lives of a group of young roommates who are adherents to the "guido/guidette" life-style and culture.
The main stars of the show are extremely foolish, silly, superficial, but ultimately lovable. Their biggest concern is doing their hair properly. They like to party 24/7. They spend exorbitant amounts of money on tacky clothing and accessories. Their fights and conversations are the stuff that reality TV is made of. I especially love watching the show with friends and laughing over the ridiculousness of it all. It's a great way to relax after work.
However, despite the show's popularity, it has also received negative criticism from the Italian community. Many Italian-Americans say that the show is a bad portrayal of its culture and that they are offended by the hyper-stereotypical behavior that the stars exhibit. The show has not been damaged by these criticisms and in fact, it has gone on to produce newer seasons.

I've never seen that show, but I have heard a lot about it.
