Geordie Shore.

Geordie Shore - MTV's new hit show! NewNaughty.blogspot.com New Naughty
Geordie (not to be confused with Geordi, as in Lieutenant Commander Geordi La Forge; see image A.) is the nickname given to people from Newcastle, England. The origin of the term is slightly disputed but there is no doubt that it is derived from the name George, apparently the most popular name for eldest sons in the region.

Well regardless of how the name was earned, the current English citizens who identify themselves as Geordies are very different from the coal mining, king supporters of 18th century, when the nickname made its first appearance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geordie I'm speaking, of course, of MTV UK's newest hit reality show, The Geordie Shore. As I'm sure you can tell from the name, the show is a British adaptation of the Jersey Shore, one of NewNaughty's favorite shows (to make fun of).
Often when shows end up in this situation, the new version isn't as good. However, I am happy to report that the Geordie Shore does not fall into this trap. In just the first episode there is plenty of drinking, cursing, fighting, nudity, and comedy the likes of which at times exceed the bar set by the Jersey Shore. As far as I know the only place to watch this show right now is on MTV UK (You may be able to find some of the episodes on YouTube) but I can only hope that it makes its way to American MTV because it has only run 2 seasons and it has already provided me with more entertainment than the entire series of jersey shore. If you can get past their strong English accents, and the fact that none of them are named George, I strongly recommend checking out Geordie Shore. Catch up on the first 2 seasons and get ready for the 3rd, which is to take place in Cancun! I can hardly wait.
