1. "RE: Kid Nation"
CBS has shown so many promos during BB8, I commented in that forum days ago. I will be happy to repeat myself here. I know it's politically incorrect to not like children, but.... I already hate the fat kid who's crying and said, "I miss my brother because he's in a wheelchair" WTF!! So, he wouldn't miss him if he wasn't in a wheelchair? He's a little manipulator already. You see others pull this stunt on reality shows, but I have low expectations of some of these "adults" who appear on these shows. But this kid...what he's 11,12 and already working an angle. **shudder**

No worries. There has to be a kid named "Roger" and a rock around, somewhere.

Gee, it might be hard to make fun of this show.

I guess it would be kind of mean spirited to have a drinking game for this show. You in?

I just saw this whiny little piggy wannabe snot on the TV. Plus that idiotic mom who was saying what a "wonderful building experience" it was in spite of controversy about dodging child labor laws. I think the smarmy producer is a piece of slime, too.

I'm IN.

Well now, you see, if Bill Cosby was doing this show, or Ronald McDonald maybe, but really Bill Cosby would be perfect, you know, then at least you could try and watch it, some of it might even be funny. Intentionally funny I mean. This has to be the worst idea yet for a reality show that doesn't involve a celebrity, it's just crying for a celebrity, maybe two. Now, if Sigourney Weaver was to show up and make them kids dig a bunch of holes...

4. "i think it looks good"
i will be watching. it looks interesting. different, anyway. and i kind of want to see what the 'point' is. i also think if i were a kid it would sound like the greatest idea ever: build a whole town without any adults... that was my dream. i thought adults were pointless fun-crashers.

I'll check out show #1, could be fun. What's more fun is the PR CBS is getting from the ACLU holier-than-thou types who are chirping child-abuse of some kind in the filming.

Besides the child labor law skirting, did the producers also neglect school for their "participants"? Because I have no doubt that that particular adult-created establishment would have a rather low priority in the minds of the Founding Munchins.

(Have somebody muck-out the communal crapper? Sure. -- Get in some math homework -- No Way!)

17. "RE: Kid Nation"
Can't wait. Not being someone who ever wanted any, I'm looking to see if these kids prove me right...no one should have any. LOL! Or, more to the difficulty I grapple with every day once they are young adults, can they overcome the massive load of disabilities with which their parents have saddled them?

Should be fascinating, IMHO.


"Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man. I conceive likewise a horrid idea in receiving mercy from a being, who at the last day shall be shrieking to the rocks and mountains to cover him, and fleeing with terror from the orphan, the widow, and the slain of America." Thomas Paine

A couple of the kids and their moms were in the "Ellen" show today. They had no complaints about the show. They went through intense selection, training, teaching, information-gathering, and felt the kids had good counselors and were not in any danger.

23. "RE: Kid Nation"
Finally watched an episode last night (was it the 3rd?). I had thought the idea to be absurd, so I hadn't bothered to switch over for the earlier episodes.

But I finally did last night, (I blame Foomernints) and after watching it, well, I kinda like the show. I don't know about lasting power, but initially it seems like an elaborate and very fun coed boy scout camp. As a kid I would have loved to be there. I probably couldn't have afforded it, but I would have loved it.

I should say that I agree that compliance with all applicable laws including (and esp) the child labor laws, ought to be verified. CBS has a competent legal staff I assume.

As for the adults being around, well, I would hope so, medical help too. Heck, some of the little ones are still bed wetters which would be exacerbated by anxiety, I imagine, and some help in becoming acclimated is probably a good idea.

That Taylor is a pistol. Really self assured (OK, bossy) but a really cute kid. (I do kinda pity the poor guy in her future).

Actually all the kids are pretty cute. The tensions in kid town remind me of those in the older kids version, Survivor. If they had little inflation valves you could use to blow them up to adult size, they would be saying and doing pretty much the same things.
