Other States on TV, please!

So I must admit it, I am addicted to reality television. I am not proud of this, but at the end of a work day I really look forward to mindless entertainment. Here's the issue, however, that SO many shows are obsessed with what is the armpit of America...New Jersey. Now, before you call me mean, please know that as a native Baltimorian (or Baltimoron) it is my civic duty to hate all that is New Jersey. The smell, the people, the roads, etc etc. At the same time, I find myself hooked on all of these shows...its like that train wreck you can't turn away from even though you know you should.

First off, there's The Jersey Shore, a classic example of New Jersey folks at their finest. Jerseylicious is another one I tune into often to catch all the catfights that happen in public. Perhaps its so intriguing to me because I would never seriously get into a fight with anyone in public, and it captures my attention as if I'm watching a wild animal to see what it will do next. One show I refuse to watch is "Mama's Boys of the Bronx" because I have dated some serious Mama's boys in the past and do not see the need to retorture (is retorture a word?) myself by bringing back those memories.

New Jersey, even though I hate you, I love to see you represented so accurately on tv.

By the way, I googled "Person from New Jersey" and this picture was in the top results. Clearly, Google hates you too.
