Fads

FADS

There used to be a hit show on MTV called Jersey Shore, it soon died out and became a fad.  Its target market was mostly the younger generation, its viewers ranged from 15 to 29 years of age.  It was so appealing because it was something different at the time and their loud personalities were fun to follow. The show was on for six seasons from 2009 till 2012.  The show died out once the cast got older and was soon replaced by the show Snooki and J-wow, they were two of the more flamboyant characters on the show
