It’ll be interesting to see what kind of reaction “Jersey Shore” creates in Italy. Sparks may fly. Or not. What do you think, Jessica?

Well, how did the Italians react to “The Sopranos?” It’s not exactly the same thing, but that family was also more Italian-American than Italian.
The Soprano’s is known here -but I think it was only on late in the evenings. I don’t think it is that well known. I have not really discussed it with anyone here.
I’ll mention it and see what Italians know about it.
Maybe others are better informed than I.
