53 photos
Forty kids, ages 8-15, attempt to create an operating town in 40 days without the help of adults in a former New Mexico ghost town. The kids are responsible for all chores, including cooking, cleaning and running businesses. They also establish their own rules and set up a government. They hold a town-hall meeting at the end of each episode to talk about issues and to determine which one should win the Gold Star, worth $20,000.
  • A Winter of TV Discontent? | Roush Dispatch | 12/4/2007
    Just a thought: If the strike lasts much longer, do you think CBS' Big Brother house has room for all of us? I joke, of course, but I also fear that if things don't get resolved soon, it's going to be a long, cold winter indeed for fans of good old everyday regular non-reality TV.In the last few days, we’ve seen cliff-hanger episodes of Desperate Housewives and Heroes that felt like season finales, and for all we know, that’s what they might be, if production doesn’t resume early in the new year for the back half of their seasons. For the first month of the writers’ strike, viewers didn’t feel much pain (except for fans of late-night comedy, the first casualty) because we were in a sweeps month chock-full of original episodes. Life went on as usual. That’s about to end. There are scattered episodes of many series yet to air in December, and a few leftovers for early 2008. But come the new year, the TV landscape’s going to start looking mighty... read more
  • No More Blog | Kid Nation Show Blog | 11/8/2007
    Hi, friends! My apologies, but it turns out that last week was the final blog for Kid Nation. For those of you still watching, I hope you enjoy the rest of the season! Now go watch The Next Great American Band. I need some comments over there, too! And thanks for your comments these past few weeks. read more
  • Rating a New Round of Reality | Roush Review | 11/7/2007
    Now is not the time to be a reality-TV snob. The reality of the TV business is that this genre is here to stay ? and it may come in especially handy during the writers' strike. Like every form of TV, reality is capable of exhilarating highs: This fall, I'd include Dancing with the Stars (with its most appealing cast to date), Survivor (with its exotic China backdrop) and the recently returned Emmy champ The Amazing Race. Naturally, there are also innumerable lows (most celeb-reality). Here's a . read more
  • Episode Recap: "The Root of All Evil" | Kid Nation Show Blog | 11/1/2007
    This is the toughest blog of the entire season for me. Why, you ask? Well, other episodes of Kid Nation might not have been great, but at least they were entertaining. This was a train wreck. So I stamp the big black advisory sticker over this first paragraph and tell you that if you are reading this and going to get annoyed by some negativity, then you might just want to stop now and come back next week. However, if you also thought this week was a train wreck, by all means read to the end. The one thing I won’t do is lie to you and put a rosy spin on this blog just for the heck of it. I am nothing if not honest, so my apologies to all who'll hate what’s to come. Every show is allowed a train wreck now and again, right? Right?So let’s look at some of the reasons why this episode was bad.The No. 1 reason has to be: Who the heck is Nathan? Yes, who is this kid? I don’t ever recall seeing him before, and tonight he wins a gold star. And does he have any expression... read more
  • Episode Recap: "Bonanza Is Disgusting" | Kid Nation Show Blog | 10/25/2007
    This week on Kid Nation, "The Taylor & DK Show." This is truly getting out of hand with Taylor. The only way you can possibly like this girl is if you too are a lazy, whiny 10-year-old beauty queen. Every time I see her that song pops into my head, you know that one that goes, “If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife.... ” Can you just picture what this is leading to? Six years from now we’re going to see Taylor on that sweet-16 birthday show complaining about how she got an Escalade instead of the BMW that she wanted. Then a few years later, if she keeps her looks, she’ll win the heart of some 44-year-old man at one of her pageants and maybe she’ll get to be on a “reality stars” season of Real World/Road Rules Challenge. OK, I’m putting way too much thought into a girl I will thankfully never see again in a few months, but you see where I’m going. Back to present day. I hope that she is... read more

Come on people, seriously.
I saw nothing wrong with the show and believe people just want something to complaint about as usual. It reminded me of summer camp except you get a chance to win $20,000 for your college... read more

Teaching Racism?
I liked Kid Nation because it's showing children how they have to 'get along' with children they don't know or like. Same is true of the real world. I like the idea they are learning... read more

Give Kid Nation some credit
Personally, I don't think that this is what the producers are intending for you to take this as. I think this is a chance for kids in our culture today to show they aren't all your... read more

Better idea
OK. Let's say CBS executives had the best interest of the children in mind at all times...Take 40 kids (8 to 15yo) of CBS executives, promoters, producers and crew, set them in the streets... read more
