Finally, folks:

A Jersey Shore story that has nothing to do with booze or fighting or violent acts perpetrated on a cast member by an angry baby mama.

Jersey Shore Family Vacation made its long-awaited debut on MTV last night, and the consensus among viewers seems to be that while the guidos and guidettes didn't quite deliver the same bonkers energy and smush-room shenanigans of their initial run, it was nice to check in with TV's most heavily spray-tanned cast.

Of course, not everyone was able to make it to South Beach to enjoy all the fist-pumping and facial fillers.

Once upon a time, MTV's Jersey Shore was garnering higher ratings than some of the biggest shows on broadcast TV. 

Nowadays, the network rarely charts in the ratings and is returning to old formats in an attempt to bring the network back to its former ratings glory.

There was a time, not all that long ago, when the cast members of Jersey Shore were some of the hottest stars on TV.

Predictably, however, a bunch of fist-pumping self-proclaimed guidos who were most noteworthy for their love of tanning and ability to coin a wide array of obnoxious slang terms for sex were unable to sustain that level of popularity.

Deena Nicole Cortese has officially grown up. 

The 29-year-old Jersey Shore star has announced that she and her long-time boyfriend, Christopher Buckner are engaged.
