3 Ways ‘Jersey Shore’ changed TV

1. Well, now any television personality can pee on camera. Snooki opened the floodgates on that one when, crocked as usual, she squatted and emptied her bladder. Will Barbara Walters follow suit? Stephen Colbert?

2. You can get arrested in a foreign country and still get your own show back in America. Snooki was arrested in Italy after she hit a cop. Now, she has her own “Jersey Shore” spinoff.

3. “Jersey Shore” helped improve our vocabularies, something we’re always looking to do. We learned that to call unattractive women “grenades,” sex “smushing” and picked up a term for the maintenance of our physiques and clean clothes: GTL (gym, tan, laundry).
