"By any measure," says Ken Tucker, "there is nothing about 'Jersey
Shore' that merits enshrining it in any category of TV history other
than 'Time Killer.' As I can attest in preparing to write this piece,

one of those ancient artifacts of papyrus — a newspaper, I believe
they were called — that has been crumpled and tossed to the air."
