<p>Now that we've had a few days to digest the news that Snooki had a baaaabyyyyy with boyfriend Jionni LaValle, MTV took the opportunity to announce that it is ending<em> Jersey Shore</em> <a href="http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/08/30/gym-tan-later-mtv-ending-jersey-shore/">after its sixth season</a>. And like the classy network it is, it had camera crews from her spin-off <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/28/snooki-baby-first-photo-pic-lorenzo-lavalle/">at the hospital</a> documenting the miracle of life, with her boyfriend <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2195919/Snookis-baby-birth-air-Jersey-Shore-spin-fiance-Jionni-captured-labour-camera.html?ito=feeds-newsxml">filming the whole thing as well</a>, possibly to go on the air at some point.</p>
<p>What did you expect from a network that's still making money off of <em>Teen Mom</em> and <em>16 &amp; Pregnant</em>?</p>
<p><!--more-->The final season of <em>Jersey Shore</em> will premiere October 4, but if you're worrying that won't fulfill your cravings for over-tanned, over-hyped reality stars with nothing to say and too much air-time to say it in, don't worry! MTV has a lot of planned <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1692898/jersey-shore-last-season-six.jhtml"><em>Jersey Shore</em> bonus features</a>!</p>
<p>From the official announcement:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Gym, Tan, Look Back" will serve as the capper on a full day of <em>Jersey Shore</em> nostalgia beginning at 11 a.m. ET/PT on September 6 with an awards-themed marathon of <em>Shore</em> episodes, which will include the most iconic moments in the series' history. And then, the cast of the <em>Jersey Shore</em> will gather at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards Pre-show (airing live at 7 p.m. ET/PT) to discuss the final season from the red carpet.</p>
<p>Additionally, following the season six premiere on October 4, MTV will give viewers bonus programming each week at 11 p.m. ET/PT following the final episodes, from fan-favorite after shows with the cast to the can't miss reunion special and much, much more.</p></blockquote>
<p>And despite insistence from the network that it won't be capitalizing on the birth of lil' Lorenzo, it <em>did</em> happen to renew Snooki's spin-off, <em>Snooki &amp; JWoWW</em>, <a href="http://www.buddytv.com/articles/jersey-shore/mtv-renews-snooki-and-jwoww-se-46891.aspx">for a second season at the beginning of August</a>. Don't worry, it has <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/exclusive-mtv-breaks-silence-on-new-snooki-baby-spinoff">a response for that as well</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>MTV has no current plans for another spinoff featuring Nicole," a network spokesperson tells Examiner.com exclusively. "But we're incredibly excited for the story of Lorenzo's birth to play out on-air during Season Two of <em>Snooki &amp; JWoWW. </em></p></blockquote>
<p>See, there isn't going to be a third show about Snooki, but why kill the goose that keeps laying the golden eggs when it already has said goose under contract in Hoboken?</p>
<p>By the way, show of hands: who out there watched the first season of <em><a href="http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/762652/snooki-jwoww-first-look.jhtml#id=1683806">Snooki &amp; JWoWW</a></em>? Anyone? No? Well, hopefully the baby will fix that.</p>
