Six seasons together cultivating a reputation as the world's most famous party-mates turned the cast members of Jersey Shore into pop-culture sensations. Their stars burned bright until the plug was pulled in 2012, seemingly for good. Now, after kids were born, marriage vows were exchanged and countless `GTL' sessions in the interim, the groundbreaking show returns. It's billed as a family vacation, about 1,200 miles from Jersey, as the gang takes up residence in a swanky townhouse in Miami Beach. Older and perhaps wiser, original cast members Deena Nicole Cortese, Paul `Pauly D' Delvecchio, Jenni `JWoww' Farley, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Nicole `Snooki' Polizzi, and Mike `The Situation' Sorrentino reunite.
