ATLANTA — In 2009, when basic cable reality TV was ascendant, MTV hit the jackpot with "Jersey Shore," which unleashed what would become household names like Snooki and the Situation upon an unsuspecting world. A summer home full of hilarious characters who would get drunk and clash and party and just be absurd.
MTV has since replicated that formula with "Floribama Shore" and now "Buckhead Shore."
The entire premise is patently absurd in one sense because the geography of Buckhead belies the name. There is no real shore there. But MTV isn't exactly known for documentarian exactitude.
