Explicit material in Dutch Version of MTV's Jersey Shore is a TV hit
Since start of September the new season for TV shows a new show has been aired on Dutch television
. The show is called "Oh Oh Cherso" and it can be described as a Dutch version of MTV's program "Jersey Shore". As it is a Dutch TV show, nothing is censored. For the Dutch audience the show is quite rude but hilarious, however for foreign viewers the show can be somewhat disturbing in its explicit language and footage.
The show is about 8 people from the Hague; 4 guys and 4 girls. They are in their early twenties and are sent to a luxurious villa in the Greek village of Hersonissos (on the island Crete) for a three-week holiday. The holiday includes a lot of booze, partying and hooking up. A camera crew is following their actions 24/7 which makes the show a reality-soap kind of show. This leads to some hilarious situations that is broadcasted on national television.
The show is very popular in the Netherlands. Each Thursday night around 1.500.000 people are watching the show. To bring this figure in perspective: it means that around 10% of the Netherlands is watching this show. The participants of the show are now real celebrity's in the Netherlands. They are promoting their own music single and people can book them for an evening of simple' entertainment. Due to its huge success plans are made for a second season for this TV show. The setting will be somewhat different than it is now; it will take place in the snow.
It is still doubtful if this second season will take place. Chances are that due to its explicit material and a great media hype by the broadcasting company the show is a success. If a second season is to be aired some new elements has to be added to the show so that it will not be all of the same again.
