Jersey Shore Reunion : MTV will be airing it’s Jersey Shore reunion specials and finale starting from 2 pm ET until 2 am ET the next day.

Jersey Shore is a reality television series on MTV that follows eight housemates spending their summer on the New Jersey Shore. The show was filmed in August 2009 in a summer share in Seaside Heights but was also filmed in other towns such as Toms River and Neptune.

It follows the eight housemates in a Real World-type style while they live, work and party at the Jersey Shore.

The show debuted amid large amounts of controversy regarding the use of the words “Guido/Guidette”, portrayals of Italian-American stereotypes and scrutiny from locals because the cast members are not residents from the area.

The show plays upon the stereotype of the guido, prompting criticism from groups such as the National Italian American Foundation, UNICO National, and the Order Sons of Italy in America for using “ethnic slurs, violence and poor behavior to marginalize and stereotype Italian-Americans”. Prior to the premiere of the show UNICO asked MTV to cancel the show because of the apparent play on stereotypes from the promos. UNICO National President Andre DiMino said that the behavior in the promos is offensive and stereotype-promoting and that “MTV is using very pejorative terms, ‘Guido’ and ‘Guidette,’ to promote a program and as a corporation that is not correct.” After the show premiered, UNICO National claims they “can’t keep up with the volume of calls” from “outraged” Italian Americans.
