With shows like “Jersey Shore,” “Cake Boss,” “Real Housewives of Jersey” and “Jerseylicious,” eastern swag seems to be taking over America’s airwaves. So much, that MTV’s own “Jersey Shore” broke television ratings with an all-time high of 6.7 million viewers during the season two’s finale.

City College student Taylor Blair finds the show compelling because of how the cast members’ behaviors pale in comparison to her group of friends.
“I started watching Jersey Shore after constantly seeing the previews on MTV,” Blair says. “I think the show is stupid, yet entertaining…it’s fun to see how crazy and different people are from me and my friends.”

Keith Heningburg, a City College history professor, says that the interest of these shows are from the fact that viewers like seeing the real flaws of the characters.

“[The ‘Jersey Shore’] doesn’t paint an accurate picture of what Jersey is really like,” says Blair. “I have family who live there, but they act nothing like that.”
