MTV trying to phase out Snooki & Sitch for newer cast
Quote:
With Snooki pregnant and The Situation getting sober, the people behind "Jersey Shore" are FREAKED the show will lose its sex-crazed alcohol-fueled edge -- so they're looking to phase the two out ... in favor of newer, wilder castmates.
MTV released a statement earlier this week -- following news Sitch was seeking substance abuse treatment -- claiming the network expects the entire cast to return for Season 6 ... but sources close to 495 Productions tell TMZ, the production company is currently looking for new talent.
According to sources, 495 desperately wants to keep things fresh -- and folding in new castmates will help transition the show into a new generation ... while still keeping old fans hooked.
We're told 495 plans to limit Snooki and The Situation's roles on the new season -- giving new cast members more screen time instead.
The show is set to begin filming this summer. 495 had no comment. SOURCE
Aren't they like the face of the show, how is going to work without killing the vibe?
I don't know where to start but that's beside the point.Since 2009 one of your more popular shows,Jersey Shore,found its way into peoples' homes.The show was actually exciting,interesting,and fun to watch as opposed to some of the other **** found on TV.In response to the show's massive success,season upon season was being added to the point of Six (yes SIX) seasons happening in two years.There comes a point where the tires have worn out its tread,in need of replacement.This "tire",unfortunately is Jersey Shore.The show has run its course for seasons now and NOTHING you can do will change the fact that the show has become utterly BORING and predictable.A new cast is not the answer.Instead,a BETTER idea would be to put the show on the chopping block (at least for a few seasons).You see,with most of the other reality shows,you would at least get a STORYLINE or a MOTIVE (albeit some of them being basic).With Jersey shore,however,all the show has basically been reduced to is "Italian-Americans" (some of them NOT even being actually Italian American) partying and drinking all the time.
They need to just give it up if that's the case. No one is gonna be here for anyone but the regular cast. It was good while it lasted, no need to try and drag it out.
I figured they would slowly phase out the cast after a while. This is a good excuse to do it. The cast was becoming too close anyway, I need more drama.
That show is so stupid, I watched the first three seasons then i realized how ignorant and tasteless I was being. It isn't even funny or anything. It is a bunch of rich people acting like they really have to take taxis, and use the same phone, and creating fake drama. Girl bye. One if the reasons I RARELY watch tv anymore. Most of it is a mess.
It's disturbing that people can be "too sober" to do a television show. Where is the integrity? This show has none & it sets a horrible example. I can't tell you how many teenagers watch this & I can definitely tell they are influenced by it.
