You’re killin’ me, MTV. We finally got through the endless monotony of Season 4 of “Jersey Shore,” and already Season 5 is waiting in the wings, ready to detail the Guidos’ of this past summer in Seaside Heights. Thankfully, the next season doesn’t kick off until early 2012, so this should be the last 3:30 of “Jersey Shore” you watch for another two months or so.
However, this clip of the continuing apocalypse comes with a silver lining: for the first time ever, ratings were down for a “Jersey Shore” finale.
Gasp you should. Italy was crazy dull, yo.
Shore delivered 6.6 million viewers for its season 4 finale, down 13 percent from season 3′s closer. That downturn is despite the season launching higher than ever, with a spectacular 8.8 million blowout that was MTV’s most-watched series premiere ever. So far Shore finales have clocked 4.8 million for season one, 6.1 million for season two, 7.6 million for season three and, now, reversing down to 6.6 million. [Inside TV]
More like “Jersey BORE!” Ha ha, total burn.

Duck Phone spin-off time!
I’m just burned out on it. I’m like four episodes behind and I can’t bring myself to watch them.
Is this the season that we finally send them to Beirut?
I thought that was the last season…but HELL YEAH for another one!!! I would insert a .gif with fist pumping if I knew how
Well, remember that the Italian government said before the season started that they wouldn’t allow them to do anything too disorderly or otherwise awful. That probably kept this season from being as compelling as the showrunners and cast members had originally planned. I’m sure season 5 will have them all getting back to their usual heights of deplorability.
Not that I care or watch the show.
MTV has changed popular music and television in a lot of ways, a few good (Daria), but mostly negative. But they’re not stupid. They know the clock is already ticking on Jersey Shore‘s life span and they have to push out season 5 before those people are thrown out into the same trash can that the casts of The Hills and Laguna Beach are in.
