'Jersey Shore' on 'The View': Grannies meet guidos

The "Jersey Shore" cast stopped by "The View" today (Tue. Feb. 23), but the showdown we were hoping for never went down.

Instead of watching some kind of brawl between trash talking Joy Behar and the cast, we felt like we were watching visiting day at the old folks' home.

Even as we watched the show's "Hot Topics" segment it seemed fireworks were in store when the cast arrived. Behar, once again, restated her position that the MTV show portrayed negative Italian-American stereotypes.

Whoopi Goldberg wore a huge top hat like the one worn by The Mad Hatter in "Alice in Wonderland" saying that having the cast as guests made her feel like she "fell down the rabbit hole." Oh, this is going to be good, we thought.

We creeped until our favorite guidos and guidettes finally took to the couch. When they did? Nothing.

Blowout: Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino began handing out guidette nicknames to "The View" hosts and he dubbed Behar "The Assumption" for all her trash talking earlier in the show.

Grenade: Behar and Goldberg acted like grannies asking whether the cast had a "plan b" and if they had a savings account. Thanks, grandmas.

Grenade: Sherri Shepherd couldn't shut up about getting her weave done into Snooki's poof. She also kept saying the cast is making $5,000 an episode in Season 2 instead of the reported $10,000. Google, Sherri! Gosh.

Grenade: Elisabeth Hasselbeck cut off Ronnie Magro and Sammi Giancola before they can confirm whether they've broken up or not! Fail.
