Is'nt that show called Cops?

Seem's like we have a Situation on our hands...

However with a post that has brought on 15,000 views in only several weeks of time, one thing is for certain

Get your Sausage and Peppers ready!

Honestly I think people are foolish if someone thinks this can work out as a negative. In the reality, it will show a whole new audience of people that a community that no one knows exists unless stumbling on it by accident exists... Great restaurants, beautiful parks, and unbelievable historic architecture at an affordable price, if I am a local small business owner, I would be begging for their business.

Embrace the opportunity and lets show what a great town this is so that in the end all of our quality of life and property prices improve.

On a final note, I hope JWoww makes me say Woww!

P.S. If anyone is willing to jump on the grenade, and keep Snooki company, please let me know.

Filming will take place from Feb 21 - March 9 (3 weeks). This information was taken from notices that were posted on residences all along Mercer between Grove and Barrow.

Secondly, I keep seeing comments on what this show is about. The plot is a "Laverne & Shirley" ripoff about Snooki and JWOWW living in JC and trying to find jobs and love. Here's an excerpt from JCI:

"Another manager said he thought the MTV producers seemed disingenuous. He said that when the producers first scouted the restaurant?s location, he asked specifically if it would be for the Jersey Shore spin-off, but was told no, it would just be a Laverne and Shirley type reality show, which is basically the description that MTV has been touting for the spin-off. Other bar managers and owners said that the contract seemed intrusive in other ways ? that they wouldn?t get paid enough and that MTV would have free rein over their establishments."

Hope that clears things up. I am one of the many people unhappy they're living a block away from me, but now knowing it's only for 3 weeks, I can live with it. Just as long as they're not filming in the bar downstairs from me and turning it into Seaside's Karma. Not in the mood to hear shitty house at 3am on a Wednesday.

Do you even think before you write? I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW... you seem KNOW so much about this without actually knowing anything at all. It's going to "decay" the city? Didn't the Sandbar exist in DOWNTOWN JERSEY CITY for years?

I mentioned this on the prior page, but no one seemed to notice.

Hey Folks, they are only filming here for THREE WEEKS.

Maybe everyone will chill out now.

No, it proves MTV has been lying to business owners like this one. If the business owner asked them straight up if the filming in question was for the Jersey Show spinoff show, the truthful answer is "Yes, it is, but the style of this show is more Laverne & Shirley like." Then it would be clear and the business person knows it involves the 2 women in question and base their decision on that plus the new angle they claim they are putting on this show.

But instead MTV said 'no, it would just be a Laverne and Shirley type reality show, which is basically the description that MTV has been touting for the spin-off. ' So they have been misleading all the businesses they talk to when asked point blank if this is the Snooki/Jwoww JS spinoff show. That is incredibly disingenuous and makes this seem even shadier.

How can any of you trust that this show will do anything positive, given how they already trying to con the good businesses and people of JC?

I'm not following you here, OneSkirt. Why did you say "No, it proves..." My post wasn't a question and it certainly wasn't defending MTV or this stupid ass show. I was just trying to clear up the misinformation of it being a six-week production when it's only three. I then went on to quote that JCI interview where they divulge the "plot" of this show since there was some debate about it on this board. The added bonus from that article was they went on to illustrate how the producers were misleading owners in order to get their consent to film in their establishments.

To put it simply: I'm hating the idea of this show filming here and anyone thinking it will yield benefits is sadly mistaken. But, I think I can survive three weeks with these "reality stars" living around the corner from me.

So let me get this straight. This show has been in the works for some time now. Hoboken refused them which was in the news all over. Then they get the ok to be in Jersey City. MTV walks into various establishments and asks them to film and the owners know nothing? Please spare me. We live in a day and age of instant news, Google, etc. and they didn't know what this show was about? I should sell these people a bridge.

I'd just like to say that as a homeowner in JC, I really don't care whether this Jersey Shore spin-off films here or not. I can't see what difference it makes. Just my 2c.

First off, YOU have no idea what their show is about. It's not the whole cast, so I'm thinking it's not going to be like Jersey Shore. Maybe the are trying to grow up... Do your homework before condemning something, they are shooting for six weeks. It seems pretty lightweight?no big film crew. Second - The strip club analogy is a bad one, BUT I would have no problem with a strip club opening on Newark Ave. If you don't like strip clubs, Don't go in there? I don't live in a city and expect it to be a sleepy, sheltered little town? If I wanted that, I'd pack up and move to the suburbs. I think a better example is: I'm not gay. Gay people don't "represent my lifestyle". But I'm not trying to run THEM out of town. If someone wanted to film a show about a gay couple living in JC, I wouldn't care. These girls don't Look like you? They Don't act the way you do, and you want to run them out of town?You want to boycott businesses they go to???? That is some straight up RACIST talk. Corruption in City hall? It's government, it's corrupt at all levels. Esp, in NJ. We deal with it. NEWS FLASH* If you're one of the people who just moved into one of the new developments?We didn't want you here either. Jersey City was/is/will be VERY different than that dreamy real esate brochure made it seem. And No one is trying to kick you out. WHY? Because Jersey City isn't Hoboken. Jersey CIty is diverse and accepting of everybody?or at least it used to be. JC does NOT have a good reputation to folks outside of Jersey City. THAT IS WHY it's even more important for us NOT to be dicks when a national tv show wants to film here. We have a chance to correct it. If you don't like the show or the girls?Ignore them. But going out of your way to "Protest" and create all this fuss to shut them down?It's wrong, and is just going to make us look bad. Get over yourselves.


I don't care if you're blue, white, yellow, alien, black, straight, gay, transgendered, confused, etc - If you care for the place you live in then I'll be welcoming of you. This is a community and only communities survive and prosper in the long run.

I've lived here for more than 25 years and yes - I'm trying to get into one of those waterfront condos. Since I've been here so long, I'll let you know the best thing that ever happened to JC is gentrification - with those yuppies and working professionals moving into those condos. I remember walking on newark ave 15 years when I was young and was literally scared for my life at times. The thieves, criminals, drunks who inhabited those streets have since dwindled down. But YOU want to bring all of them back. Bring on the strip club, let's invite those two homeless people (one with the bjs cart and his lady friend and have a whole show about it) let's bring back all those thieves and criminals. Please...

Do I have issues with tax abatements? YES. Do I have issues with the corruption in city hall? YES

Do I have issue with 7 million people watching JC being made a mockery of and creating the image JC is full of "guidos" and "guidettes" who only value "GTL" - YES.

I don't know what the show is about but if you believe this will be even remotely educational, you have never seen an mtv reality tv show...

At the end of the day, you want this city to decay and many of us here do not!


He wants this city to decay? Link?

I have mixed feelings on this. The reasons against it have been stated by everyone else pretty clearly.

With that in mind, I think that one can take a longer term view that the city should be encouraging filming, and if we are going to get all tied up over the content of a particular show, it will be less likely that tv and film crews will want to try to negotiate with Jersey City whenever they want to film here.

It's very possible that the producers, film crews, etc will be involved in other projects, and if Jersey City is a reasonably affordable place to film without too much bureaucratic hassle, maybe they will be back with other projects.

I don't watch too much TV, and never watched "Mercy." But if that show had succeeded, it would have been good for the city to have a regular filming presence. If we have regular film crews, just two or three shows shooting on location for an extended period of time, the local businesses will do better. Maybe some local actors and camera crew will get gigs out of it. A few people involved may like the place and move here.

It's only six weeks. Any "image" problems that come from it dwarf in comparison to the black eye we have from the corruption scandals and the like. I suspect we can live with a few weeks of Snooki and JWoww making fools of themselves and saying unflattering things about the city.


Sorry but I work in film and your post is very naive. Work in film is gotten through a network of people who know you, like you, trust you etc. There is NEVER any consideration as to where a crew member lives. Basically you follow the work. I have worked all over NY and NJ and travelled out of state for work. Most commercial, TV and feature film crews stopped shooting in JC because of the hassle, cost and corruption of our city agencies. Most notably the JCPD. It just wasn't cost effective anymore. You could save money on a location fee but the money paid to the half dozen officers you didn't need was ridiculous. The money paid to local businesses is minimal as most catered food, truck rentals etc, etc are gotten in NYC or elsewhere in NJ. The connection between MTV and the rest of the production world is zero. They hire young, recent grads, call them "Associate Producers" and pay them peanuts. They are interns with a title and are routinely abused and over-worked. These people will shoot all night long without regard. Sorry but that's the truth.
You may be right but didn't the production company for "Mercy" pay Basic Cafe a wad of money to shoot a few scenes, store equipment and feed the cast in there? Whether local businesses benefit very much is one thing but at the end of the day its a capitalist society and a free country and they have every right to film here if they follow all the appropriate procedures and get the necessary permits. Every time I see a post about the show causing damage to Jersey Cit's "reputation", I laugh. This show can't damage Jersey City's "reputation" any more than the current administration already has damaged it. If you have "civic pride" that;'s great but I don't see how this show will do anything to the city's "reputation". Sorry if you get embarassed by the "spectacle" Jwoww & Snooki will make of this city. Boo f---in' hoo.


http://www.examiner.com/jersey-shore- ... ww-s-jersey-shore-spinoff

Like I wrote, the production is forced to have cops on set 24 hours a day. That's probably 4 cops at about $400-$450 each per shift. So the JCPD and the property owner will make money. Real benefit to Jersey City!!! HA!!

As much as I love this topic, it is amazing how many posts/replies this topic has gotten (200+). This show is taping for six weeks, it is but a snipet of our lives. If such fevor was instead focused on corrupt politics or getting rid of bad burocreacy then JC would get better.
Instead of starting a petition over the Jersey Shore, start one against Healey and his cronies, the buildings permit department, crime or any one of the other issues that really does effect the quality of our lives long term.


What "fevor" are you talking about? A bunch of people bitching about something online and thinking they have actually accomplished something? That is exactly what people do about Healy and his cronies, the building department, crime and any of the other issues that really effect the quality of our lives long term. "Somebody should call the buildings department." "Somebody should call Fulop." "We should annex Hobloken and make Zimmer our mayor." Really? I'd love to meet this Somebody.

By the way, there is a mantra amongst many people in the film business when it comes to getting the shot they want. "Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission". Good luck to the home-owners and business-owners who will be living near this circus.

That's a great point. Jersey City should ban all filming in the city. No exceptions.

That would be fine with me since filming benefits very few actual residents. When six 23 year olds are running around with video cameras at 2am trying to document these two geniuses then you will grasp what I am saying. Like most young "filmmakers" they will simply incorporate the cops into their shoot. "Oh well, we got busted but we got it all on film".

Your naivete about TV production is astounding. "Reality TV" is all about provoking situations since the subjects real lives are essentially boring. The producers will prod the subjects into various situations which will create conflict. For them and apparently for you this makes for interesting TV. Do you really think that they are just going to follow them around and "see what happens"? If so then you are clueless.

Leave Mr Johnson alone. He knows MTV only produces quality educational shows like

MTV Cribs
Lingerie Football League
MADE
My Super Sweet 16
Real World
Jersey Shore
Teen Mom
Teen Mom 2
Skins
Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica
Pimp My Ride
Punk'ed
Various Spring break shows

All of these have educated our young kids in America with values like getting pregnant as a teenager to pre-adolescent sex to valuing Gym, Tan, and Laundry...

let's be welcoming! come on

Again, for someone who really hates Jersey Shore and MTV, you really do know a lot about the show and MTV's programming.

You should really put your passion into volunteering for the animal shelter or something. It seems fruitless here. One thing I've learned by living in downtown Jersey City for 15 years is people LOVE to whine and cry here. They love to brag how they live close to NYC, but it's not NYC; it's its own city. The only problem is, they don't like all the things that go along with a city. Yes, shocking as it may seem, things will happen in a city that YOU personally don't agree with. I know this is hard to accept, but it really is the truth. If it wasn't this show, Vindication and others would be bitching about something else. Maybe live music above a subway station on a weekday at 6pm. Maybe dog crap on the sidewalk. Maybe cars parked too close to a crosswalk. Maybe litter, maybe something else. But hey, posting about it on the internet should solve all these "problems."

(I take it you will NOT be joining the ?Night of 1,000 Snookies,? this Friday night?)

Jersey City residents brace for Snooki and JWoww's impending invasion

Published: Wednesday, February 15, 2012, 3:00 AM
By Kate Kowsh/The Jersey Journal

Moving trucks are still outside the converted firehouse on Mercer Street in Downtown Jersey City where reality stars Nicole ?Snooki? Polizzi and Jennifer ?JWoww? Farley are scheduled to start filming their ?Jersey Shore? spin-off within the next week or so.

And residents and local business owners are already weighing in on the new neighbors.

?I am very excited,? said Joy McKinney, 30, who lives across the street from the location and works at Beechwood Cafe & Market, 290 Grove St. ?I?m just really hoping it doesn?t bring a lot of drama.?

Wolf Sterling, the owner of Pint, a Wayne Street bar around the corner from the girls? new digs, said he hopes to have them visit his establishment.

?There?s a lot of hubbub in the neighborhood. We think it?s a good thing,? he said.

?I think Hoboken was stupid to pass it by,? he added, referring to that city?s decision not to grant filming permits to the producers of the spinoff.

As a welcome of sorts, Sterling said he?s planning to don a ?Snooki wig? during ?Night of 1,000 Snookies,? an event he?s holding at the bar this Friday night. The party will include a $200 cash prize for the best ?Snook-a-like,? and a fist-pumping contest, according to a flier in the bar?s front window.


Sterling added that he?ll also be serving what he?s heard is Snooki?s favorite drink, ?a concoction of Malibu rum, Creme de Banana, pineapple juice and orange juice.?

Others residents aren?t so pumped about the new arrivals.

As for when the girls can be expected, city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said: ?Filming is expected to begin within the next week or so.?

I will, again, preface this post by saying, I do not like the Jersey Shore. I don't watch it, I DO think it's crap TV.

But to me, the content of the show is irrelevant and some of the comments on this thread are frightening to me. I think we could change the mast head to read Greenwich Country Club List and the posts would feel more natural?

I don't know where some of these folks get the nerve to think they can play the role of Censor in our community. I'd like to see a list of artistic contributions they have made to society. How many award-winning shows have you produced?

So again, who are we to say what is "Cool" or what is "ethical"? What is right/wrong for kids to watch on TV?

I'm a 30 something, ex punk. One of my favorite songs of all time is called "Sex and Violence" by The Exploited. My parents HATED the music i listened to? Sort of like how we hate the stuff "kids are doing these days"?.

Who are we to say what is right and what is wrong? Isn't this supposed to be an "artistic community" ? Don't people understand that just because YOU think something is awful, it doesn't mean there aren't a ton of folks who LOVE it.

People thought Elvis shaking his hips on stage was the work of the devil. People though the Beatles were extreme?

In 1995, Nine inch nails put out a song called, "Closer"? The chorus of the song goes, "I want to F**K you like an animal, I want to feel you from the inside"? Trent Reznor won an OSCAR last year.

I remember when that album came out in 95, and middle america had a religious freak fest about it? People tried to censor that. How is that ART? How is that adding to society?
Guess what?IT IS, and It sure as hell DID.

NOW, I'm not saying that Snooki has even 1/10000 of the talent Trent Reznor has? But, again?who am I to judge?

Be open to everything, or else we risk shutting out?everything. If we ban THIS show?where does it stop?

I'm willing to bet, if Jim Morrison rose from the grave and the doors played a rooftop concert in Jersey City, there would be people on this site bitching about it... #noise #parking #tax$

Get over yourselves and keep an open mind.

Mayor Honored For Rejecting Jersey Shore

Updated: Wednesday, 15 Feb 2012, 12:01 PM EST
Published : Wednesday, 15 Feb 2012, 11:48 AM EST

HOBOKEN, N.J. - An Italian American group is responding to Hoboken's rejection of MTV's "Jersey Shore" reality show -- by giving its mayor an award.

The Italian American One Voice Coalition plans to present Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer with its "Una Voce" award Wednesday for denying film permits to a show the group feels promotes negative stereotypes of Italian Americans.

Zimmer says the decision to deny permits was made based on safety and quality of life concerns for residents of Hoboken.

The show has been issued permits to film in Jersey City. The spinoff of the reality series will feature Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley renting an apartment in New Jersey's second largest city. Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy says he believes the show is an opportunity to promote the city.

Also, I thought it was impossible to lose even more faith in our leadership in JC, but it has occurred. Hoboken turned this down for a reason. Never thought I'd say this, but Hoboken is looking classier than JC. They at least have pride in their town, and they have leadership. Healy sounds like such an idiot with that quote, honestly.


From what I was told by a bartender at Willow Billiards in Hoboken the show can still film inside the bars just not on the streets, they claim to be one of the places that signed releases to let the show film there. Hoboken just was featured in an episode of Mob Wives recently yet they have a problem with this Jersey Shore spin off? Many other reality shows film there also an they don't have a problem with it. I can almost guarantee you if the St. Patricks Day event wasn't going on during the filming dates the permit would have been granted. I'm sure the mayor doesn't want the whole country to see what it is really like and have it get more out of control when even more young people find out about it, not to mention how it would make the city look.
