Despised and disparaged, the new reality showcase “Brooklyn 11223” (10 p.m., Oxygen) continues a long tradition of reducing the New York borough to dim stereotypes. A pathetic “Jersey Shore” knockoff that lacks that sad spectacle’s sense of irony, “Brooklyn” seems designed for and created by people who have never stepped in Kings County.

The show has already attracted negative publicity for reducing its setting to a cringe-worthy “fuhgeddaboudit”- and “whatsamaddawidyou”-filled cartoon that would have been wildly out-of-date when “Saturday Night Fever” was filmed there 35 years ago. Just a casual look at the neighborhood’s census figures would reveal a diversity that’s been around as long as pizza parlors and stickball games have been Brooklyn cliches.

The series revolves around one less-than-articulate girl’s nasty grudge against another. She suspects the other girl of sleeping with her boyfriend and describes this act and her reaction to it in bleep-worthy detail. The accused denies this betrayal with equally profane gusto. Both girls — or, rather, young women of indeterminate age — surround themselves with sets of friends they describe as “crews” in a desperate imitation of tiresome hip-hop slang.

To quote the poet William Shatner, these women need to get a life! And if you find yourself watching “Brooklyn 11223,” the same could be said of you.
