Since its premiere in 2009, “Jersey Shore” has cemented itself as one of the most iconic and quotable reality franchises. Now, after 300 episodes and countless spinoffs, the decades-long cycle of gym visits, tanning trips and laundry loads ends with Season 9 of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation,” making its debut Thursday, May 7, on MTV.

parenthood, career changes, benchmark birthdays, new relationships, sold-out shows and more — including, of course, a few outrageous parties.

One highlight of the season is said to be Sammi’s upcoming wedding to boyfriend Justin May, as the 39-yearold can be seen preparing for her nuptials alongside her friends in a recently shared sneak peek.

“I could cry right now,” Sammi tearfully says, before sharing one more surprise with her housemates: “I’m pregnant.”

Pauly D (“The Pauly D Project”), Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi (“Jersey Shore”), Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (“Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars”), Ronnie Ortiz-Magro (“Ex on the Beach”), Jenni “JWoww” Farley (“Snooki & JWoww”), Vinny Guadagnino (“All-Star Shore”), Deena Cortese (“Jersey Shore”), Angelina Pivarnick (“Couples Therapy”) and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola (“Snooki & JWoww”) are all set to appear.

“This farewell season marks the culmination of a franchise that entertained millions with major life milestones, laugh-out-loud chaos and the unfiltered chemistry that defined an era of reality television,” reads a description by MTV’s parent company, Paramount. “The ‘Shore’ family is going bigger than ever, celebrating the moments that made this franchise a cultural phenomenon.”

This upcoming season follows the Jersey stars as they embrace sobriety,

However, her ex-boyfriend, Ronnie, seems to be far less than thrilled about his former girlfriend’s new relationship. Ronnie and Sammi shared an on-again, off-again romance from 2009-16, but Ronnie’s pain rears its head at the most inconvenient of times, as Sammi plans to say her “I do” on her ex’s birthday.

“It’s kinda f——- up,” Ronnie says in the trailer. “I don’t wanna get out of bed.”

Acting as a tribute to the friendships, relationships, inside jokes, dramatic conversations and unforgettable moments brought to us by “Jersey Shore,” the epic, 18-episode final season of “Jersey Shore Family Vacation” premieres Thursday, May 7, on MTV.

‘Grand’ all-star drama returns to TCM

The concept of an all-star cast has become standard operating procedure for many movies, but one of the first to use it was “Grand Hotel,” the winner of the 1932 Oscar for Best Picture — and rather famously not nominated in any other category. Not surprisingly, the film is a staple attraction on Turner Classic Movies, which shows it on Thursday, May 7, as part of a tribute to director Edmund Goulding (“The Razor’s Edge,” 1946). The adaptation of the Vicki Baum (“Shanghai 1937,” 1997) novel — and a 1930 stage version — brings together a cross-section of people at Berlin’s Grand Hotel, where a roguish baron (played by John Barrymore, “Dinner at Eight,” 1933) becomes acquainted with an ill accountant (Lionel Barrymore, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” 1946) whose ex-boss (Wallace Beery, “The Champ,” 1931) also is there on business. A ballerina (Greta Garbo, “Camille,” 1936), a would-be actress (Joan Crawford, “Johnny Guitar,” 1954) and a doctor (Lewis Stone, “Love Finds Andy Hardy,” 1938) who resides at the hotel are among others on hand, and the result was a huge box-office hit for its time. (Amusingly, Jack Lemmon sits down to watch it on TV in 1960’s “The Apartment,” but it keeps getting delayed by commercials.)

“Jack & Bobby” (Hulu, streaming): It might be a coincidence that this familiar-themed drama series is now available after the recent success of FX’s “Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette” ... but then again, it might not be. Matt Long (“Manifest”) and Logan Lerman (“Only Murders in the Building”) have the title roles in the 2004-05 WB Network show as brothers caught up in politics as their lives proceed, with one of them eventually becoming the American president. Christine Lahti (“Chicago Hope”), Jessica Pare (“Mad Men”), Edwin Hodge (“The Purge,” 2013), John Slattery (“Vladmir”) and Bradley Cooper (who did this program concurrent with his run on ABC’s “Alias”) also are in the
