No more Burger King commercials or Reunion Road Trips – the real Jersey Shore is finally back. MTV confirms the cast will reunite for a new Jersey Shore Family Vacation with near of the entire cast.

Once powerful taste-maker is a shadow of its former self.

'Siesta Key' has been steeped in scandal ahead of its premiere.

Jersey Shore fans were disheartened to learn that a potential revival may have proven nothing more than a Burger King commercial, but fear not. The GTL and meatball crew is indeed reuniting on actual TV, as E! sets up a Reunion Road Trip.

This past weekend saw word of a possible Jersey Shore reunion coalescing, but not necessarily at MTV. Now, near of the entire cast has reunited for a new Burger King commercial, and … wait, that’s it? Come on, there has to be more.

Cultural touchstones come and go, and it seems like forever since the Jersey Shore kids were exhausting our capacity for acronyms. Most of said Shore-hounds have grown up and had their own kids by now, and might make us feel even older with an upcoming reunion special.

It was just over a month ago we learned that MTV wanted to put the Fear Factor in today’s youth with a Ludacris twist, making millennials dunk their cell phones rather than play gross-out games. Now, the first trailer for the youth-oriented revival looks a lot like the old series, because who doesn’t love beds full of maggots?

Stranger Things may have moved from the Upside Down to whatever nightmare-scape populates Season 2, but leave it to Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards to combine two of the biggest sunken places of recent memory. Get Out meets Stranger Things in a new star-studded parody from the 2017 MTV Movie and TV Awards, and no tree is safe.

Sadly, MTV Scream fans are going to have to wait a lot longer (like, forever) to finally answer the Brandon James mystery. Season 3 has confirmed plans to reboot the premise with new showrunners, even adding Queen Latifah as a new producer.

Let’s face it; Generation Z just doesn’t scare at a bed of worms, or a platter full of yak testicles. Thankfully, MTV wants to put the Fear Factor back into today’s youth, dunking cell phones in water and the like with a revival of the gross-out game show, as hosted by Furious franchise star Ludacris.

The Scream movies had a hard enough time keeping Sidney Prescott in peril for three sequels, so might MTV’s TV adaptation already need its own reboot? That’s the word on Season 3, as Dimension TV is apparently looking to scrap the current storyline and cast.

The MTV Movie Awards are dead. Long live the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
