The cast of "Jersey Shore." IAN SPANIER/MTV

MTV has announced this will be the last season of its hit reality series "Jersey Shore."

It's sixth and final season will kick off at 9 p.m. Oct. 4 on cable 39.

The end of the era for the show, which followed eight New Jersey men and women as they summered in a camera-filled house by the shore, begins at 5 p.m. Thursday on MTV, cable 39, with the special "Gym, Tan, Look Back." It will be followed by the cast giving interviews on the "2012 MTV Video Music Awards Pre-Show" red carpet at 6 p.m.

An all-day marathon of episodes featuring some of the most iconic moments in the series' history starts at 10 a.m. Thursday on the channel.

The antics of the brawling, boozing and fist-pumping group turned the reality show into the cable network's highest rated series and spawned the spinoffs "The Pauly D Project" and "Snooki and JWOWW."

It premiered in 2009 amid controversy for the use of the terms "guido" and "guidette" and its portrayals of Americans of Italian descent. On Sunday, one of the stars, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, gave birth to her first child with boyfriend Jionni LaValle.

Here's video from the season five "Jersey Shore Reunion."

I tried to watch it twice and couldn't. Maybe this means that the "REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY" is next on the hit list. I'm hooked on it and don't know why. The cast is (mainly) successful, wealthy, but nearly every one is DUMBER THAN DIRT. I wouldn't hang out with any of them for that reason.

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
