Jersey Shore Cancelled

Long national nightmare over

MTV announced that the upcoming sixth season of "Jersey Shore" will be its last, bringing the party to a close after three years, two continents and one lil' bambino (not to mention countless punch-ups, blow-outs and catch phrases.)

The final season of "Jersey Shore" kicks off on Thursday, October 4, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, but MTV will commemorate the end of the show with a hot tub full of farewell programming, beginning Thursday, September 6, with a one-hour retrospective, called, appropriately enough, "Gym, Tan, Look Back."
