Reality shows about New Jersey

Listen, plenty of awesome people (including Zap2it staffers) hail from the Garden State. But let's not kid ourselves into thinking that A) Everyone from New Jersey acts like a meathead or a spoiled princess and B) Everyone from New Jersey talks like they're auditioning for "My Cousin Vinny." The clueless charm of "Jersey Shore" has vanished now that they're all big stars, and we can't even watch the "Real Housewives" anymore without getting horrific middle school flashbacks (seriously, these women haven't matured past their "Mean Girl" days). Can we declare this trend dead and dump it in the Pine Barrens like a "Sopranos" dead body?
