What will the world do without one of the many television shows about train wrecks of young adults who drink too much, get into random fights and act crazy in general?

Well, the world will obviously watch a different one.

MTV has cancelled the reality television classic Jersey Shore after six seasons.

Viewers—and non-viewing friends of viewers by proxy—never would have learned how to properly fist pump, the definition of the acronym “GTL” (gym, tan, laundry) and that a grenade is a fat, ugly girl.

The show has been on MTV for three years, and it’s the network’s highest-rated show in history. With the pregnancy of their, arguably, most popular star, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, who gave birth on Sunday, the network was incredibly hesitant of even filming a sixth season, much less a seventh.

Somehow, MTV did renew Snooki and bff Jennifer “JWoww” Farley’s spinoff Snooki & JWOWW for a second season.

Join Snooki, JWOWW and the rest of the gang for the special Gym, Tan, Look Back before the final season on Thursday, September 6 at 6 p.m. EST. The sixth and final season of the Jersey Shore will premiere October 4 at 10 p.m. EST on MTV.
