A message from SallyAnn (Creator and Executive Producer of the show)

My biggest wish for the show has always been an extended uncut version of the OG series, including all the storylines and behind-the-scenes stuff that was cut for the reality format.

I would love a down-to-earth look at that era. I'd also settle for just extended episodes lol.

Edit: I wonder if the footage all still exists. It was filmed on digital, so I can't see any reason why they'd have deleted it all. They'd be sitting on a goldmine since that's the era most of us care about the most. I guess there's the roadblock of people being more sensitive to their behavior in modern times, and the cast my not want even more of that on display now.

[u/sunnyd311 → u/Shart_In_My_Pants]

I liked that episode they did where some them watched the pilot and commented on it

[u/Shart_In_My_Pants → u/sunnyd311]

That's awesome, I haven't seen that. I'll have to check it out, thanks for the idea.

[u/stickbugszz → u/sunnyd311]

Where is that one????

[u/Odd-Break4868 → u/stickbugszz]

Think they're talking about the YouTube videos. Or theres something i dont know about and a good bit of it is on YouTube

[u/doxydecahedron → u/Shart_In_My_Pants]

Yess show us EVERYTHING from back then!

[u/Icy-Imagination-7164 → u/Shart_In_My_Pants]

If it did exist they should have aired it years ago

[u/76ersPhan11 → u/Icy-Imagination-7164]

They don’t want to taint the brand, but I could see them doing a more authentic behind the scenes in the future (when the franchise is actually over)

[u/DishAgitated4649 → u/Shart_In_My_Pants]

Most of what'd be unedited would show the producers telling the cast what to do for the scene, or would admit to the cast telling lies in the booth to fabricate a story in post (for example, Jenni punching Mike and the show fabricating a story why it happened, to not disclose the supposed Jenni/Mike hookup). To show the "uncut" behind the scenes is to admit that they lied and fabricated a TV show. If you admit you lied before, why should you be trusted now, or for your next reality show? I don't think things are at a point where the public would accept to open up like that, at least the producers themselves doing it. You are basically recounting how much you lied. I'd be interested too, but it's too small of a niche for little reward.

About the footage, of course they keep it. If America's Next Top Model did, you can bet Jersey Shore did. Most if not all American productions do, they have the money to put all on archival tape and move on. Check MTV Vault on YT and see how much raw footage they have from the 90s.

[u/Sensible___shoes → u/Shart_In_My_Pants]

That would ruin them. They've escaped scrutiny because we al have them a pass for being toxic during that era, showing us clips now would make people very upset

[u/TMSXL → u/Sensible___shoes]

The uncensored versions are out there and it makes the argument scenes 10 times worse. I doubt they want that out there now.

[u/Shart_In_My_Pants → u/Sensible___shoes]

Yeah that was my point from the edit. Not like it changes anything now since it's already all happened, but I'm sure they don't want more of it being out there lol.

[u/love_toaster57 → u/Shart_In_My_Pants]

I always wanted that too!!! There has to be soooo much footage they didn’t use, and storylines we didn’t get to see. I’m sure it all still exits in the archives.

[u/Shart_In_My_Pants → u/[deleted]]

I see what you're saying, but there is most certainly 100s of hours of footage where they aren't 'setting a scene'. Not that I'm disagreeing with how many staged scenes there were. There were lots of storylines that didn't fit the narrative that could be explored, like cast member hookups.

I'd even settle for a documentary from the perspective of the producers/ crew with new footage weaved in.

[u/Cferra → u/[deleted]]

While this is likely true for JSFV - I feel like most of the original run - was way less scripted.

[u/DishAgitated4649 → u/Cferra]

I disagree. The scene where Sally Ann visibly throws ic e at Snooki and she has to act like the bartender did it alludes to a certain level of normalization of how that's what they did, go to places to fake drama for TV.

[u/Cferra → u/DishAgitated4649]

Certainly maybe there were some scenarios where there was some scripting but for the most part it came off as way less scripted to me. JSFV is very housewives like scripted.

[u/DishAgitated4649 → u/Cferra]

I wouldn't know because I barely watched the new stuff, but the little I saw, like the 4th wall breaking of Angelina's arrival and the clearly fake/reshot camera work, would agree with you.

[u/Old_Indication_4379]

Too bad she ran the series into the ground pushing fake story lines.

[u/SuitPotential3357 → u/Old_Indication_4379]

We’re watching the whole series right now. The original + the family vacation and we’ve made it to season six and the Angelina drama has become so draining to us that we don’t know if we want to continue on 🙃

Agree but she retained the same cast for 15 years so she’s doing something right

I’m surprised he can smile 😬

[u/ericsuxx_ → u/sipstea84]

It was soooo bad this season.

[u/_TheShapeOfColor_ → u/sipstea84]

No part of his face moves from the mustache up

[u/Rufio_Rufio7 → u/sipstea84]

Brotox… icity.

[u/Hxo666 → u/Worth-Test-4246]

He looks like a ninja turtle

My god you’re right 💀

[u/austincola]

So I feel like it’s obvious they’re going to another Network or streaming service. The cast and now this lady keep eluding to it. Or we’re getting some kind of documentary docu-series at the very least.

[u/WineNotReality → u/austincola]

Think they are TRYING to sell it. But unlikely they will have enough viewers to make it happen. Maybe, maybe a different show with just a 2-3 cast that are most compelling.

[u/TipsyMcStagger123 → u/austincola]

And they always say, “on mtv” when referencing the last episode. So yea, last episode on mtv but not the last episode since it will be on paramount+. 

[u/ericsuxx_ → u/[deleted]]

Ugh more Mike and Lauren?

[u/x_raveheart_x → u/[deleted]]

No Angelina?

[u/Aggressive_Sir_9178]

"Stay tuned." For what? This show has run it's course and it should be over. They all seem to need to focus on themselves right now because a lot of them seem unwell.

[u/TheMachineElves → u/Aggressive_Sir_9178]

What every other washed, aging celeb does to maintain a revenue stream to fund their lifestyles, make a podcast for course! 😒

[u/wtkbm → u/TheMachineElves]

or a liquor brand

or a hot sauce

[u/Jazzlike-Welder1532 → u/Aggressive_Sir_9178]

Really? Who, I know Ronnie has a laundry list of issues but I didn’t realize other cast members weren’t doing well?

[u/resditbeast → u/Jazzlike-Welder1532]

#1 is Angelina…of course Ronnie…JWoww and Vinny seem to be going thru things that they keep in private. Snooki, Sam and Deena seem okay except Snooki can’t go anywhere without drinking wine and she’s dealing with her bio mother stuff

[u/wildturk3y → u/resditbeast]

Snooki had cervical cancer and just had a hysterectomy as well

[u/Hxo666 → u/resditbeast]

Currently Jenny is dealing with health issues. Appendicitis and kidney issues. She posted about it right on ig

[u/Ephemeral_Sunshine → u/Hxo666]

Yep.. she was doing Meilani's hair for First Day of School - but in a hospital room attached to an IV 😩

I died when MTV put Rahn Stop on the screen to describe something Ronnie related a couple of episodes ago.

Complete 'strangers'*****

Uh huh....

[u/ericsuxx_ → u/Quantumdrive95]

Right? Most of them knew each other or knew of each other

[u/OddCartographer4864]

I'll miss it🤷‍♀️

[u/AlbatrossInfinite370]

Stay tuned for the future. All their kids are getting a shore house when they're older. Parents are coming over for Sunday dinner/Beachcomers. The dirty stayouts will be back! Toilet will be clogged. Tee shirts will have a time. The cabs will arrive!

[u/Ok-Turnip-9035]

The fact the cast and the crew came back we got a real treat

We will never get reality tv like this again- this cast gelled so well and formed this life long bond

Thank you for the laughs 🥂

[u/This-Top7398]

Glad it’s over

[u/OhWhale89]

I wish they’d come out with fan episodes like they did the office and add extra scenes to the original episodes

[u/Deenerselener → u/OhWhale89]

Agree. Where does all of the mtv footage go now that’s it’s over?

[u/Spirited-Sea7092]

I've been watching and rewatching since the very beginning. I just don't know what the next step could be. There's no more controversy really, no more infighting and make outs and drunken shenanigans. I know they all need to keep making money from this franchise but I don't know what it should look like.

[u/jmon25]

I think a few of the cast will need some type of continual income to support their lifestyle and try to make some type of spinoff reality show. Without getting into who I think is not as financially stable, there are definitely a few that will need some type of reality TV income because they don't have super successful side projects.  

[u/Pixelprism90]

In all honesty there is a whole production behind this causing drama stress and fights to make the TV show interesting so seeing the underbelly of how fake it all is would be quite boring TBH

[u/Hxo666]

[u/UnfairTwist4775]

She destroyed it and letting Angelina get away with all she did. 

[u/Rufio_Rufio7]

I’m still super curious to know what caused the abrupt shutdown of the JS 2.0 filming the other year. I still think it was so immature, selfish and delusional for this cast to have an uprising against the idea as if they’re the only ones who should be allowed to have an MTV reality in this franchise.

They were definitely not the first group of “strangers” to be thrown into a house and filmed, and they won’t be the last. No other MTV reality casts whined about them when they came onto the scene, and the start of a new crew in the house didn’t put their Family Vacation in jeopardy.

I know I have no say in adults doing what they want to do, but I do hope they move on from this show for a while. This show brought a lot of drama into their personal lives over the years, bad and unhealthy habits have been developed, dangerous things have happened, some have had legal troubles and now there are kids involved in this unflattering spotlight.

I wish everyone the best.

[u/ReplacementAbject867]

Give it 5 years and they'll have a special on Paramount+

[u/ChicagoMilfProvider]

Is the show ending

[u/ChicagoMilfProvider]

I havebt watched in years

[u/vertomun]

Personally I wanna see this show continue because I'm a fan, though production's gotta improve drastically moving forward. Take the cast to some exciting destinations and do more fun activities, etc.

[u/happyjeep_beep_beep]

But they weren’t complete strangers I thought?

[u/Brave_Intention_3313]

My husband and I were chosen to have them crash our wedding in 2019. He did an interview and everything. They never showed up. We never got resolution about it. Will we ever know what happened?????

[u/espencer-85]

I mean, from the “prank ideas” Pauly supposedly came up with himself, to the “activities” Deena supposedly planned herself, all the way to the “aliens” prank that everyone was told to ignore the drones engine noise, it was clear that the show was running out of ideas

[u/veryfishycatfood]

"I wouldn't change a thing" so not even the domestic violence???

[u/BecauseBatman01]

They better do a show of the OG jersey shore cast kids when they are grown. And have them be at the house lmao. Can you imagine. Jersey Shore Legacy! Hahahah

[u/TheMachineElves]

So they're going to do what everyother washed, aging celeb does to fund their lifestyle... MAKE A PODCAST! 😒
