Jersey Shore Family Vacation: Mike Goes to Jail

Ive only watched this season on and off, but tonight's episode was really pretty stunning. I can't describe it, except that it almost felt a real life version of a Sopranos episode as the series neared its end. Ignoring the Maria stuff, those episodes had a very somber, closing tone to them where the family and characters felt different.
I honestly thought this was the finale, but it's wasn't.
The episode was mostly around Christmas, which added to the bizarre, yet strikingly sad and captivating moments. Mike goes to federal prison, Ronnie checks himself into a rehab center, Jenni's divorce goes public, Deena has her kid, and Snooki get pregnant again.
It's almost circle of life stuff....one or two lives going down the drain as others see cheer and happiness. The episode almost felt fictional, like a series was wrapping up and all character arcs were coming to a conclusion, but it was all real. Don't know, the whole thing just kind of hit me pretty hard. And that's pretty amazing considering how this show began ...amazing how life always kicks your arse, no matter who you are and the toll fame can take on some people.

May DVR this one then But the rest of the season has not been good. I was a huge fan of the show growing up but man this stuff is getting old like the cast

I forgot that we haven’t had a season long thread. It’s odd how tonight’s episode was S3E1, but the past month of new episodes were still a part of S2?? 
Since tonight was the “premiere,” I’m not sure I can watch a whole season centered around Ron’s idiocy while Sitch is in prison.
Mike should be out of prison in October, so we’ll probably get a new round of episodes this Spring that feature him.

Awesome post OP 
Wife and I had similar feels watching the whole season honestly.
Mike is definitely good people. We legit got upset when they erroneously reported he was going away for two years
I think Mike always just wanted to be accepted and felt like the rest of the crew didn’t appreciate how integral he was to making them and the show as famous as they became. You could see it in the Italy blow up with Ronnie when he head butted the wall. He just was over being disrespected and hated by them when he was the main reason the show blew up.
I feel like he and Pauli’s are the only two that genuinely understand how lucky they are and thankful for the life that the show has given them.
Snooki and J Woww and even Vinny to an extent seem like they think they deserve the fame and would have been just as successful regardless, which is crazy.
Ronnie is too far gone to even be able to think in terms like that.
But Paulie and Mike are just living and honestly don’t seem all that different than who they’d be without the cameras. The others always seem to be acting or putting on a show.

I remember thinking how hot JWOW was the first time I saw her and she has gotten uglier every time I’ve seen her since....and I’ve seen her a lot.
