This show is great, but buyer beware this DVD is NOT uncensored. Not only do they still blur out any nudity, they also still beep out certain words. If you're looking for a truly uncensored experience, this isn't it. If you just love the show and want it on DVD it's great.

The Jersey Shore is a reality TV show that follows the lives of eight young men and women who share a house at the beach for the summer. In my opinion, it is reality entertainment at its absolute best. This show along with Paradise Hotel are probably my favorite reality TV shows ever. I heard the early years of the Real World were extremely good too and that the Jersey Shore reminded fans of those seasons.

What really made this show great was the producers did an awesome job selecting the housemates who all handled the pressures of the house very well. Sure they got into fights with themselves and outsiders, but they always seemed to come together as a family. This is what every group of true friends should do.

Mike "The Situation" was by far the most entertaining person to watch, though Ronnie came across as the bigger stud in the end with his winning of Sam and his tough guy fist fights. Ironically, Mike may have shot himself in the foot when he told Sam that Ronnie was the only guy in the house not attracted to her. I guarantee this was the moment the wheels of her attraction for Ronnie started spinning like crazy. Mike took a lot of heat for bringing home ugly girls, but he also pulled in some good-looking women too. Nothing wrong with throwing a wide net.

I think Ronnie was an honest kind of guy without fakeness. What you see is what you get. But the one thing I didn't understand was how he took no heat for stealing Sam from Mike. Weren't they boys at this point in time? And if the plan was to sleep with as many women as possible on the Jersey Shore, then why steal the one girl your boy has been throwing game at? In Ronnie's defense, Mike hadn't sealed the deal yet, so maybe all is fair in love and war.

Pauly D was annoying to me at first because I misjudged him and thought he was the typical, blow-out fade, Deutschbag kind of guy. But he was a very cool kid who always had his boys' back whether that meant taking one for the team or popping someone in the face for pushing his friend. Kind of a cheap shot punch, but hey, if you push somebody then you should be prepared to fight. The sexual tension between Pauly and J-Wow in the nightclub was unreal. Moments like this were what this reality TV show was all about. Attraction among young people.

J-Wow was definitely what I would call a down chick. She always had Ronnie's back and was ready to fight anyone that messed with her girls. I felt sorry for her boyfriend, but seriously, what kind of guy would let his girl do a show like this?

Snooki was annoying with her Prima Donna behavior, but I eventually grew a soft-spot for her, especially after the punch that was heard around the world.

Sammi to me was way too much of a princess. She could never do wrong in her own eyes. Still, she definitely had her moments of sweetness and I'm willing to bet she and Ronnie have no problems when the cameras aren't rolling.

Vinnie was a cool kid and probably the kind of guy you could trust with your sister. Mike better hope so anyways. LOL.

Angela...was that her name? I can't remember. She was a hater. Definitely a hater. I was glad when she left, but I saw her on the reunion episode and she was looking hot. She needs to stop dating married men.

I think the Jersey Shore is truly a reflection of the times. There has been a lot of outcry that this show is a racist portrayal of Italians, but these people are missing the big picture. I don't know a lot of Italians, but I do know a lot of young people and this is how a large crowd of them are acting. The "guido" mindset is not limited to New York and New Jersey and is really just a subset of the Generation X and Y era of meathead metrosexuals which was created in places like California and Florida where the need to look good with your shirt off and look flashy in the club is a year round event. Trust me, people in California go to tanning beds more than anywhere else and there are cities in Florida that are overflowing with tan juiceheads and sexy "guidette" chicks that party hard and thrown down like dudes. If you don't believe me, check out Darren Bryce's book Fratire

Also, if you want to read about the Guido mindset in New York City, I suggest you read Rob the Bouncer's blog or his book Clublife: Thugs, Drugs, and Chaos at New York City's Premier Nightclubs

Another good book that discusses the lifestyles of macho young men is Guyland: The Perilous World Where Boys Become Men.

The Jersey Shore was an awesome reality TV show which does what it's supposed to do, entertain you with a great cast unafraid to show their true colors. Maybe I'm wrong and they were all putting on a show, but it sure didn't seem like it.

I'm giving this DVD five stars.

This could've been a lot better. The special features were long enough and it says it is uncensored but they bleep out all cuss words and still blur images out. I love the show so I still enjoyed it. If you purchase this just make sure you don't have your hopes up on receiving an uncensored product.

I tried to watch this because I was soooo bored. I couldn't stand it for more than 10 minutes. They're so stupid to a point its not even funny. Somehow these people out-stupid Jackass, and I've had my share of laughs watching Jackass from time to time.

How do I describe these people? Shallow, too stupid to live, but to my amazement... arrogant. It is seriously like watching a bunch of 10 year olds socializing but with alcohol and sex. I can't believe these people are role models to children... and I'm 22 years old, not some old prude.

Ladies and gents... our culture has hit a new low.

this is one of the worst tv shows on tv this show has been talked about alot and this show makes america new yorkers and new jersey and people from italy look bad this show to me is not real entertainment this show is pure trash and garbage you want a real tv show look elsewhere because this show stinks instead of buying this dvd buy something else instead because this show is and always will be trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just received this from Amazon and I am so glad I bought it. If you are a Jersey Shore fan you will want to watch the unedited version! Very, very funny :)

These DVDs let you hear everyone swear but they are still censored.
One example: Snooki goes into the hot tub wearing a thong and her whole backside is blurred out. (Probably a good thing)
Don't expect to see anything you haven't already seen on TV. Be prepared to hear the F-bomb repeatedly dropped. Yawn.

As has been pointed out many times, these DVDs are still censored. So a beef is why are "uncensored" videos still bleeped, blurred, and pixeled? Why not just promote/advertise or market them as they are originally presented on TV? Apparently saying they are "uncensored" is a selling point, and as applied in this case, it is dishonest.

As for the content, take 8 self-centered, self-indulgent ignoramuses, put them together in a "social" situation, and you have several 45 minute shows that seem to last 2 hours. There isn't one likable, sympathetic character in this show. The guys are all about showing off their tattoos, processed hair and muscles. The women, none of whom is really hot, mostly whine and complain when the guys don't show them the attention they think they deserve, or pay attention to other women outside their little clique. The outsiders are considered tramps or worse by the insecure, childish "stars" of the show.

All in all, this is a good series to avoid. Since I took a chance and bought this set, I am forcing myself to watch every episode, after which it gets traded/sold at my local record or book exchange store.

The censoring on this is strange....nudity is still blurred out, you can hear them curse but when there is profanity in a subtitled scene the written words on screen are censored. Strange. Great show though.

This season was very entertaining to say the least. There is much more action in this season than the following ones. My only negative comment is it states it is uncensored, but it is not! It blurs out nudity and only allows SOME curse words to be said which is disappointing.
