Someone is shopping around a Jersey Shore rip-off but with “Russians” instead of “Italians.” It’s like when the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers got huge and then there were all those weird low budget Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers rip-ofs. But, you know, with more STDs and tank tops! (Incidentally, the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers is the only thing that has ever gotten huge and then been ripped off. That’s why I used it as an example, because it alone is perfect.) From the New York Post (via Warming Glow):
“We are big fans of ‘Jersey Shore,’ but the Russian community has its own set of characters which we think could be even more interesting,” said co-creator Elina Miller, who is working to find a network for the show.
“There will be plenty of vodka, techno music and guys wearing Adidas pants, leather jackets and gold chains, and driving souped-up cars,” she said. “There will also be a lot of hot, decked-out Russian girls.”
What a great idea for a show! But what will it be called? Jersey Shore doesn’t mean anything about actual New Jersey or an actual shore anymore, it’s become the abstract representation of a pop culture phenomenon, as proven by the fact that season 2 won’t even be filmed in New Jersey. It’s going to be hard for immitators to capture that magic without an obvious tie-in. That is why I am suggesting:
Russian Jersey Shore
Smart. (The Mightie Morfin’ Russian Jersey Shore is also a very strong option.)

I’m willing to bet that when the far future versions of us look back and reflect on man’s great contributions to the cultural megasphere, VR Troopers will be of higher regard than Power Rangers.
Mid-nineties nostalgia Jinx! Troopers three. Virtual Reality.
I logged in just to upvote this. VR Troopers 4 Life.
This post made me think of “VR Troopers” for the first time in approximately 15 years.

“Russian See Russian Do”
Russian Jersey Shore
Damn.
Haha, hey, what if they called it “Russian Jersey Shore”
“Russian Into A Flimsy Premise Of An Idea”?
Moscow Cold Foreboding Forest
“Collective Farm Shore”
Great idea! It can be like the Real Housewives. Real Guidos of _________. Equal opportunity, because come on, every race has their guidos.
Unfortunatly, there is no such thing as “real guidos”.
Russian Jersey Shore and Peace?
I will go flagellate myself for that.
“Shore and Peace” is a winner in my book.
My book is Shore and Peace, BTW.
I think I saw a casting call for this a little while ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU9szgZkK_o&feature=player_embedded
“Gulag Archipelago”
Starring Mikhail “The Circumstance” Gobachev.

My guess would be: “Red Hot.”
Obvs it is going to be called Brighton Beach. But I am extremely excited about this. I am going to force my girlfriend to do this show. I’ve always wanted to be the boyfriend who gets cheated on in the second episode. Fame, here I come!
“Shutter Island.”
Can I just say, because I feel like maybe it should be said sometimes and why do I need a reason anyway, that Videogum is my happy place?

The Idiots
Ive seen this before. Russian Jersey Shore kills the glitzy Jersey Shore in the ring, then Jersey Shore’s former rival turned friend / idiot avenges Jersey Shore’s death with a fight in Russia on Christmas Day that Talia Shire says he can’t win. But he does win.
