Kid Nation Review
Fall TV
CBS seems to be rather proud of it's secretly filmed darling on the Bonanza Creek Ranch. Forty kids and no parents on a ranch building their own society. Or rather forty parents pimping out their children to try and grasp some sort of fame they always wanted and never got. Seriously pimping out their kids for a whopping $5,000, and I thought pageant show moms were bad, this is a new all time low.
I mean every other commercial is Kid Nation. It reminds me so much of the highly anticipate ABC series "Welcome to the Neighborhood. Do you remember this glorious ABC reality show that was canceled before it even aired? The subject matter was found to "risk fostering prejudice." The neighbors were a conservative white neighborhood has to choose their new neighbors from a group of families that are black, Hispanic and Asian; two gay white men who've adopted a black child; a couple covered in tattoos and piercings; a couple who met at the woman's initiation as a witch; and a poor white family.
So our kids over at Kid Nation aren\'t exactly so colorful. I mean on CBS.com their are adorable pictures of the little tykes. They describe their likes and dislikes and their love of history,blah, blah, blah.
Here is the thing. Everyone is so up in arms about the show, but the show is not who you need to be up in arms at. It is already taped. The children already received their whopping $5,000 for being on it. The parents are already gloating over having the next McCauley Caulkin on their hands.
If you strongly believe that this show should not air then do something about it. Find out who the advertisers are, write to them and tell them you will not buy any of there products if the advertise on Kid Nation.
If the advertisers pull out, then Kid Nation will not air. Plain and simple. Talk all you want about how the show is wrong, and that it should never air, but you have the power to do something about it. You have the power to boycott any and all advertisers that show commercials during Kid Nation. This method has worked in the past, and it will work again.

Post a Commenti mean cooks at 2nd 2 last thats not gunna get u nowhere
haha wow y do u freakin hate this show so much
I just watched Kid Nation for the first time. I passed it once thinking it would be a brutal show. But I was surprised. It is amazing to see how the light of reality dawns on each child. It is interesting to hear the excuses that some kids use to get out of work. As a farmer I am interested to see how putting Laborors at the bottom of the social scale will play out. Where would the town be with out the laborors? A good leader should be willing to do even the most menial job. After all what is a parent? It was interesting to see who won the gold star.
To kid nation fan...Spell check would not have caught a homonym correctly spelled
We don't have TV, but interesting article.
Kid Nation Fan - I also think that having an opinion doesn't mean I am up on some "high horse." Do you want us to all sit around and not say what we think? That would be pretty boring stuff.....
K.Ray thanks for backing me up....and yes I will admitt to everyone spell checking, not always my strong suit!
Kid Nation Fan: It's "spell checking", not spellchecking. Check your own grammar and spelling before you correct someone else! Also, consider signing in next time instead of logging off and making up a name. Only another CP would point out a misspelled word. Get a life.
Good article. I agree with Troy here. I watched the show the other night and found it to be wonderfully intertaining. One of the problems in the world is we complain about the kids sitting in front of a tv, not excersizing their minds, their imaginations. Yet someone comes along with a concept to give 40 kids a chance to live, work and play in a romote area (almost totally unserpervised), leaving them to think and adapted on their own and what happens? Controversy, conspiraty and other junk. Who cares if all the kids made were $5,000? Who cares if they had to work in that area as though they owned and ran that community?
The kids on that show were doing things that many of us have only dreamed on in the past. I know I would have loved to be a cowboy in some old west town.
Try spellchecking before you get on your high horse. It's "their" not "there."
