MTV Deals with Jersey Shore’s Situation

It looks like Jersey Shore isn’t big enough to contain the awesomeness (???) of Mike Sorrentino, as TVLine brings word that ‘The Situation’ is spreading his wings.

There isn’t anything specific in the works just yet, but Sorrentino is expected to have a new MTV pilot episode shooting later this year, adding him to the short list of characters from the reality (?) show that are branching out on their own.

“I’m excited to continue my relationship with MTV, which has been home for me for the last couple of years,” Sorrentino said. “I’m really grateful for all the support from my fans. Hopefully, there will be plenty more situations in the future.”

Other familiar faces you’ll soon see away from the familiar confines of Jersey Shore are Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, and Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, with Snooki and JWoww in one show and DJ Pauly D in the other.

I really thought Jersey Shore was enough exposure for the questionably talented guidos and guidettes. Do we really need to be subjected to more from them? MTV must really be scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with new programming. With choices like this, maybe they’d be better of with switching back to just focusing on music.
