MTV Announces 'Jersey Shore' Season 5 Will Film in Seaside

Show now wrapping production of season 4 in Florence, Italy

 

MTV’s “Jersey Shore” will return to Seaside Heights for its fifth season.

According to AOL TV, the fourth season is about to wrap up production in Florence, Italy, and the network is planning its return to Seaside Heights, where seasons 1 and 3 were set.

The network announced the fifth season news in a press release this week: “Fans will get to see more of the show they love, as MTV also announced today that Season Five begins production in June. Going back to the place where a pop culture phenomenon was born, the cast will return to the surf and sand of Seaside Heights, New Jersey for their fifth season,” officials wrote.

The fourth season of "Jersey Shore" debuts Thursday, August 4, at 10 p.m.

In seasons 1 and 3, housemates rented a Seaside Heights abode for summer shenanigans such as partying at local clubs, drinking, searching for hook-ups and working at a boardwalk stand, as camera crews followed around the reality television stars

The series is MTV’s top-rated series, having reached 8.9 million viewers with its third episode for season 3, reported the network on Jan. 21.

Copy-cat viewers do here what they see on the show -- fight, have sex and generally act like NY jerks.
Now we need a show like Shore Cops, rounding up the perps in each episode.

The locals should continue to make it known to them that they need to staty home and not come to seaside anymore. Why should we welcome them with open arms everytime they come back?

I'll tell you why.....
even though you may personally find these people repulsive (as do I), they are shining a huge spotlight on our area. These idiots are showing people that Ocean County an awesome place to come and spend their money. How is that a bad thing? I can already see a HUGE difference in the amount of people at the boardwalk. I realize they give us a negative perception to the rest of the country and even the world but that is a small price to pay for a thriving local economy.

Well I live on the other side of the bridge doesn't help me at all, fact is they are all trash and we don't need them here. What we need is a safe place for our children and grandchildren to go and have fun.

These idiots aren't showing anything awesome unless you think public drunkenness, fighting, and sleeping around are the hallmarks of Ocean County. The attention they're bringing to the area is very much negative - thanks to the boorish behavior of a group that is mostly not even from New Jersey. And regarding your comment about a thriving local economy - what Ocean County are you talking about?

I would like to say this I have watched a minute or two of this show because my husband and kid had it on. WOW amazing. There not even from Jersey!!! Also I think one of them is Jewish or something.. Now I know I sound stupid but my point is that There give ME, a Italian American a bad name. You think my family act's that way. Or my Grandparents would think this was how Italians should act... Please I am so surprised they didn't get there ass's handed to them in Italy. They should have all gone and prayed to the Papal. We don't need you at Seaside really go down some more to Wild Wood or Something.

Relax, this is well know now. Jaywow is Irish her last name is Farley, Ronnie is Puerto Rican last name is Ortiz, Angelina is Jewish/Polish, last name is Pavilchic, Pauly D is half Hispanic, the only Italian American is Vinnie. You are correct in that none are from down here.

I don't think it's MTV giving our area a bad rep, if you re-read your post you may find who is!

honestly, what bothers me the most is that this perverted acholol induced behavior is celebrated all over "pop culture" TV and the message it gives this generation of young adults and teenages is "its okay to behave like them". its sick and disturbing. this world is having a nervous breakdown.

Being a Jersey Shore resident, I hate that these guys are making people think that we're all like that down here, but the fact is they auditioned for a reality show just like thousands if people have and made it. No one knew what it would turn into. They're just immature kids having fun. You can't blame them for the crime or mishaps happening around here. People are responsible for their own actions.

The problems that happened in Seaside a couple weeks ago, and high prices are our main concerns. Not a bunch of Kids that want to come down, have fun and put a touch of added excitement that the town needs. We need to give the cast a break from the negativity.

Sorrhy Richard I don't agree, there is enough trash down there. What really need to be done is to FIRE the entire police force down there, and hire some of the city cops from up north that were laid off. Just saying they have no idea how to handle problems like what has been going on here. Familys should be able to come down and not worry about stabbings and fights.
KEEP THEM OUT

I think the vast majority of the cops that are actually trainined in seaside aregreat and well respected. the summer cops not so much, they shouldnt even be hired untill they have jobs for them to go to. Why cant we hire all these out of work cops part time for the summer and bring in local experience instead fo tiring to bring in resources from another area. I know the summer cops are cheaper but the amount of part timers the hieghts could get right now that have actually been through the police academy etc would be huge. These young summer cops dont have the expereince to manage these types of crowds!

What's scary is that these individuals are NOT kids. They are well into adulthood. If I am not mistaken, "The Situation" is in his early thirties. Shouldn't they be at the stage in their lives where they stop the bar-hopping and look to settle down? If their fifteen minutes of fame were to expire immediately what would they do with the rest of their lives? They can't even go overseas without getting into legal trouble. I just dont understand what their draw is. I guess it's the rubber-necking theory.. people have to stop and look at an accident. If this is what entertains society, we're doomed.

I can't believe how narrow minded you people are. I am certain that at that age, if any one of you first stone casters were given the chance to be a star and made wealthy, you would act in the exact same way or worse. But that's besides the point. Does no one see the obvious benefits of all this? There is no such thing as bad publicity, and any attention that this area gets means money in YOUR pocket! Maybe instead of passing judgement on others in your spare time, you should pick up an economics book and read it.

Dev please - not everyone in the world has the same sell-out mentality that you possess. And maybe you should talk to Anthony Weiner about there not being such a thing as bad publicity. All you have to do is look to the north at Asbury to see how political crooks, troublemakers, and bad publicity have combined to ruin a once-great shore town.

Dev: Just because YOU think deviant behavior is acceptable, it doesn't mean everyone else does too. As far as acting like a drunken hooker for money, no thanks! Some of us have morals. It's ironic that you suggest everyone read economic books when it quite obvious that you lack an education yourself. Your generation knows NOTHING about working, saving, investing, and planning. You are materialistic, helpless, and refuse to hold yourselves accountable for your actions. You splurge on booze, drugs, clothes, tattoos, tech gadgets, and trendy items. IF you reach your "golden years"...you're screwed.

There's no money going into anyone's pockets in Seaside, Dev, except the sleaze motel owners and crap boardwalk businesses. In fact, year round residents - you know, the actual taxpayers - watch as town expenses mount (special cops for Jersey Shore and the nightclubs, etc) and property values fall and fall - while the absolute ghetto reputation of the town (thanks again to MTV, for validating it) drives away middle class vacationing families with money to spend, or people from North Jersey who would buy and retire down here, etc.
So yeah, Dev, here's to all the money that's pouring into Seaside.

I got some news for you walt, families stopped coming to seaside long before MTV came to town. Instead of laying blame where it belongs, lets all blame MTV. Typical. I've been living in Toms river for many years and I never recall Seaside being much different than it is now (except lots more people now of course). You complain that you can not sell your house? Why do you think that is? Cause a tv show glamorizes irresponsible lifestyles is set in your town, or maybe because it's surrounded by drugs and welfare hotels. Seaside has always been this way. You know this so stop kidding yourself. You should be thanking these people for two reasons...

First, the gigantic increase in tourism $$$ will decrease you and your neighbor's tax burden.
Second, The spotlight that is now being shined on Seaside might actually cause the powers that be to actually do something about cleaning up that town. Then your house will actually have some value and more than it had before MTV ever came to town.

Two of them are actually from New Jersey and one is from Rhode Island. We can't only blame New York for this. It's a Northeast thing. I believe they chose New Jersey because we have a great beach, bar, and boardwalk scene.

Dev was correct though. It is money in your pocket. You may not see it yet, but increasing tourism, in any area in New Jersey, will eventually help out everyone.

Lawli, if they're already planning a Season 5 here, exactly when is this money going to hit our pockets? Probably about the same time that Northern NJ sees that windfall from the popularity of the Sopranos.

It is sad that people sit around hating on others who are just tryna have fun! Life is short & people need to realize, you should live it up! Yeah work and responsibilities are important but you can't just sit around all the time stressing! By the way, how is the cast of Jersey Shore putting you guys down and make you guys look bad? They don't say in any of their episodes "oh the people in seaside heights are crazy & drink all the time" no, they show what THEY do to have fun ! The Jersey Shore is about a group of people living together & end up growing into a family! & the true italian Vinny, he doesn't put down italians or say that's how they act by drinking, he shows his family making beautiful meals & shows us how amazing italian families & their traditions are! The sad part is half of u have never even seen a full episode or watched one season to see what they are truely about! So don't judge a book by its cover!

God bless you all. You need your own life. Don't focus so much on the damn television. Don't judge. Everyone had a right to live their life however they want to. If the meatballs want to get drunk and act like fools, so what? I can watch them and laugh, that doesn't mean I have to go do it myself.... I live in texas and just because I watch the show I think it would be awesome to come to sea side. I'm not an immature drunk either. I'm a college grad, mother and wife. Enjoy

Oh boy. Enough has been said on both sides and the get a life camp,i think all have a degree of validity so I won't waste space with my personal 2 cents EXCEPT to say I'm a JEW from NY and while I cant say NO ONE in NY acts like this since I'm sure some in every state do, I can tell you your avg jewish person does not, any more than some italians do. Quit trying to pass the buck onto any one group. When will those who don't get this finally catch on (which is still way too many) that people are INDIVIDUALS and as such responsible for their OWN actions, their ancestors are blameless or if not i's not due to their religion, country of origin or state they land in. sheesh!

Nice attitude. Have you ever heard of the 1st Amendment? Freedom of speech? People have the constitutional right to express just how much they think the Jersey Shore cast sucks. Sorry if you have a problem with that. I for one prefer not to watch, but if someone else chooses to watch (and sadly emulate) this bunch of belligerent, alcoholic, STD-infested miscreants that is their right as well. P.S. it is possible to have fun without getting sh**-faced drunk with your silicone injections hang out.
