'Jersey Shore' posts record-breaking episode

jersey_shore_twoImage Credit: MTVThe Aug. 12 episode of Jersey Shore attracted a whopping 5.5 million viewers – a series high for the reality show. It also posted a record high 5.3 rating among persons 12-34, making it the No. 1 telecast of 2010 in the key, young demographic.

For the third straight week, Jersey Shore was Thursday’s No. 1 telecast of the day among persons 12-23, across all of TV. In the episode, Angelina admitted she talked trash about Snooki and JWoww. Read Michael Slezak’s take on all the action by clicking here.

    Scientists conducted a study on those who watch ‘Jersey Shore’ and have come up with the conclusion that they are mentally disabled.

    • LOL

      Amazing to know that we have at least 5.5 million morons in this country.

      • TorontoTom

        I’d say WAY MORE…

    • John

      I appreciate it for what it is, pure silly entertainment. I don’t make fun of you for watching Dancing with the Stars or 2 and a half man.

      • LOL

        I don’t watch that crap, either.

      • ziggy

        hahaha two and a half men is the worst!

    • yep, because every single one of them think the show is high brow, quality entertainment worthy of effusive praise. please, tv snob, get over yourself. just because you watch slow as hell mad men doesn’t make you better than me because i watch jersey shore. i also watch damages, dexter, friday night lights, community, etc. but whatever.

    • JB

      Which is a pretty small number, really, when you compare it to the number of insecure people who try to make themselves feel superior by bashing people who do watch this show. That’s just sad. And it says a great deal more about you than watching the show does.

      • SB

        Really. Love Jersey Shore. Love the Real Housewives. I also love Mad Men, Damages, Breaking Bad and so on. Good TV is good TV.

      • D

        Great point JB

  • shar

    YESSS! i lovee jersey shore! my guilty pleasure ;)

  • jacie

    it’s nice to know that these gold digging he and she morons, who are the embarrassment to their generation are enjoying their fifteen minutes of fame. I say that they are the embarrassment of a generation because it’s only morons like these that show today’s teens that the only way you can suceed in life is by having gorgeous bods and perfect hair.

    • have you ever SEEN the show? they’re (mostly) good kids

    • Booger9

      uh – have you seen Snooki’s body? It’s far from gorgeous, she has a back fat! It’s SOOO GROSS!

  • TorontoTom

    STOP WATCHING THIS GARBAGE.

    • STOP CLICKING ON STORIES ABOUT THIS GARBAGE IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT. THE MORE PEOPLE CLICK, THE MORE STORIES YOU READ. IDIOT.

  • sunsetsnow81

    Good because this show is funny and pure entertainment. I don’t have to justify my reason for watching, my laughter is sufficient enough.

    • kahuna

      Bingo! It’s better than a scripted sitcom. The banter between the housemates comes across as unrehearsed. The looks they exchange without utter words are better than the “takes” you see on sitcoms. This show is great.

      • Ian

        Yes, the banter is certainly better than say….Seinfeld, Big Bang Theory, or All In the Family…….not.

      • sunsetsnow81

        Kahuna I must agree the banter is hilarious. The looks from Pauly D (the hair, eyebrows, orange face) and the Situation are pure comedy.

  • Booger9

    People watch it because they relate to it. And that’s why they get so defensive about it. It’s a show for idiots, about idiots. It’s the future, and there truly is no hope.

    • TJ

      You don’t watch the show? Damn, son – I am IMPRESSED.

    • J.

      Says the poster Booger9. Booger you are so la-di-da…Save us Booger! Save us!

  • elecon

    i was one of the millions that watched it and it was a great episode- the MVP thing was funny, the situation messing around with grenades and getting his ego checked at the ice cream shop and that dude hooking up with snooky and ron messing around with everyone- that was an entertaining hour of tv.

  • JPX

    The masses are asses. How depressing that this is so popular. The average American is very stupid.

    • CJ

      This show is popular because of idiots like you, boring, bitter, hypocrite, Oprah watching moron. People are tired of your kind and your kind of show.

  • Jay

    I love me some Jersey Shore…lol, it’s just pure entertainment…oh, and to the haters you might as well look the other way…but you can’t deny it, it’s too HOT…True Blood and Jersey Shore, that’s wassup…to the prudes, go watch Mad Men, they desperately need viewers…just don’t fall asleep this season…haha :)

  • Dicazi

    Never underestimate the taste of the American people.

  • Sushi

    Ok, fans of Jersey Shore, calm the hell down. The show is moronic. Does this mean the audience is too? No but maybe we need to reevaluate why we’re helping these people become wealthy despite how completely undeserving they are. And plus, there are people who watch the show, genuinely like it, and take it seriously… And that’s really sad!

  • bob pinto

    The show is a success and you have a bunch of haters!!! I hope they film 100 more episode

  • Supes

    I weep for humanity…

  • Julian

    I love how people think they’re better and smarter than us because we watch the show and they don’t, and more than half of the people who don’t like the show have never even seen it.

  • Brenda

    The situation is NurseFriends was great
