The Daily Star today reports that police in the North East of England are blaming MTV’s hit reality TV show Geordie Shore for an upsurge in booze fuelled criminal behaviour.

The show, which follows the lives of eight “sex-obsessed” friends, has become MTV’s most popular show to date, regularly attracting around 2million viewers per episode.
However, it’s been slated for the way it portrays the North East as it features cast members getting drunk, fighting, stripping and having one-night stands. Read more & comment »

Desperate Scousewives is based on fictional US series ‘Desperate Housewives’ while ‘Mersey Shore’ – a spin-off of American show ‘Jersey Shore’ and Newcastle-based series ‘Geordie Shore – will depict the rants, raves and sexy romps of a group of gobby 20-somethings who live together in a big house in the city.

Now I don’t know about you, but I find myself torn between love and loathe for this programme. That’s not to say sometimes I love it and sometimes I hate it, but 2 of the ‘teen mom’s’ fill me with admiration, compassion and sympathy, where as the other two have me (and my other half who insists he is not a fan) screaming at the TV.
This series was no exception. The first thing that really grated me was the fact that Farah suddenly felt the need to tell everyone how her baby’s father had died before she had given birth and how he was the love of her life and how she was so damaged without him. Would have been believable too, if she hadn’t announced to the world during her 16 & pregnant episode that the father was a jacka** and that they were bad for each other and that she wanted nothing to do with him and he was never going to have anything to do with their daughter, Sophia.
