Snooki & Co. have gotten a little too mainstream, so it's time to get back to the roots of scripted reality television, with some fresh meat. The latest in the attempt to recreate the "magic" of Jersey Shore comes from the Oxygen network, who are pointing their cameras at a group of girls from Bay Ridge. The show will be called Brooklyn 11223, and the NY Post reports that it will follow a "once tightknit group of girls from the Brooklyn ’hood [who] are still at each other’s throats over an alleged heinous act of betrayal years ago." Spoiler: there will probably be hair pulling.
The show will start airing on March 26th, and will feature feisty ladies like Christie Maria Livoti, a 23-year-old "who is as tough as the R train." Apparently some guy named Joey Lynn did her wrong, and now her and her pals keep running into him on 4th Avenue. The loose theme of the show is "betrayal," and producer Michael Hirschorn says that it really brings out “The Bay Ridgeness [of the characters]."
Will it do better than the Brighton Beach answer to Jersey Shore: Russian Dolls?
