Members Cheap21 Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Jersey Shore is a very well known reality show that many people know about, even those that have never watched a single one. Its not like some obscure reference. Im sure most people out there at least have some knowledge that there is a famous show set in Jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I think a lot of the references just seem too "hip" and "cute" and also leave the impression that the show thinks viewers can't get along without constant pats on the head.

Members Cheap21 Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 In other cases I might have agreed wtih you as he used to use alot of random pop references which added nothing to the scene, but in this case no. A reality show proucer making a quick reference to Jersey Shore while filming a reality show was pretty appropriate for that scene. It didnt seem out of place at all and it didnt stand out as trying to be too hip. He didnt even mention the show by name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 It did come off as trying to be too hip especially since it was mentioned more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 When? The only time I recall it mentioned was when Trey said "You think the -- the kids from jersey were comfortable in front of the cameras right away?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 And then Alexis brought it up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I just went through the transcripts. I didnt see Alexis mention anything of Jersey Shore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Anybody else feel a hermaphrodite sexing up relatives coming!? The few eppies I've watched over the last 4 months had already given me a Trassions vibe. But then the preview of Johnny's subconscious solidified GH had become a smelly combination of Trassions and OLTL. Every preview was not real, just someone imagining what someone else's response might be. Or a reveal that never took place. For instance, the day before Gwen's wedding to Epig, he's kissing Teresa. The preview shows Rebecca, Gwen's mother, walking in shocked and horrified. Turns out, she found her lost keys. Never thought GH would descend to its current state. The cameras? A special kind of awful! ANDREA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 What's with the odd camera angles and shakiness? It reminds me of the Blair Witch Project. I got nauseaous watching that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Those kids from Jersey came up more than once in the convo maybeit was the producer mentioning it to Alexis the next time but it came up more than once. I don't know why Fv keeps having it filmed diagonal. Was GL's camera angles that bad when they had the handheld camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I kept wondering if George Romero decided to be a GH director for a day. After a heavy drinking bout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Did FV credit himself as director yesterday? Because I've seen his name in the credits as director a few days and the productions hasn't exactly looked good on those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 The show is just cheaply done. I don't care about that, honestly, but I do when it's done just for the sake of it, like those awful Heather shots. This is GH's new director, apparently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaG8_Xutx4M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 ^Well I will say at least in that clip the cast is cute fun and appealing. It's odd that FV is a director by trade and the direction on the show, at least what little I have watched of it in recent months, seems worse than ever. It looks worse than GL in it's final year and makes Ellen Wheeler look like the Scorcese of Soaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I remember a Johnny/Anthony scene where Johnny's head kept mysteriously disappearing from scenes. It was either cheap as hell or foreshadowing. Perhaps Johnny will be decapitated. Not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
