I watched the most recent episode of Jersey Shore to analyze. The purpose of this show is purely for entertainment. There is constantly drama that intrigues the viewers. The target audience is older teens and people in their 20's. We know this because the show is on MTV and the characters in it are in their early to mid 20's. In addition, the commercials are also geared towards a younger audience. There are condom commercials and commercials for cheaper hybrid cars that save money on gas. The language used on the show is also foul and many older adults could be offended by this and in the episodes they show a lot of sexual content. The music played in the background is new and caters to a younger audience. Unfortunately, many younger kids watch this show and are probably learning bad habits such as drinking in excess, violence, and negative stereotypes about women.
In this particular episode Vinny and Pauly D go to visit Vinny's family in Staten Island. This does show good family values. We also see the cast sit down and eat dinner all together. In addition, we see the crew "GTL" multiple times. This acronym has become a cultural phenomenon. Comedy is used in the show. At one point the girls bombard the boys with water balloons and Deena slips on the wet floor from the mess that they created. The boys then get the girls back even worse with water balloons. They eventually put on trash bags and attack each other. The main drama in this episode is that Ronnie finds out that Sammy has been texting another guy. This drama last for the majority of the episode.
