"Jersey Shore" Premieres

Do you remember life before Snooki? We certainly don't. Snooki, Pauly D, JWoww, Sammi, Vinny, Ronnie, and "The Situation" entered our lives in the winter of 2009. The series, Jersey Shore premiered on MTV and followed the lives of our favorite roommates during the summer in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. Despite being publicly boycotted during its first season of airing, the series became a pop culture phenomenon.
