I hate to admit it, but all of the controversy from this show makes me want to see it even more...and to make fun of that boy for crying about his brother.Agreed and that boy in the preview? WTF. He misses his brother for the simple fact that he's in a wheel chair? I just know that I am going to get pissed off watching the 15/14/13 year olds act like hot shit, bossing the younger ones around b/c you just know that will happen. They will think they are cool, like adults, etc.. |

Personally, I'm going to try not to watch. This is exactly the type of show I'd love to see - but I think it's too exploitative. Children really
can't give informed consent - and their parent's never should have. Realily shows trash some people. They expose the participants to all sorts of
ridicule from the public and strip them of their anonimity - FOREVER. If an adult wants to sign up for that - that's their business. But a kid? It seems
very, very wrong. What's going to happen to the kid that's the butt of everyone's jokes when he/she goes in to apply for a serious job in 10
years? Just very, very wrong.
Why do I want to see this show? As a kid, I loved the books that had the scenario of "what if all the adults died and only kids were left on Earth - what would they do?" etc. Totally, my type of thing. So, it will be tough not watching, but I'm going to try very hard not to... |

I predict it will have a big first week then drop like a lead balloon. There is nothing worse than being subjected to other people's precocious, show-off
children. Just the commercials are cringe-inducing. I switch the channel just to avoid the previews, I certainly won't subject myself to the show.
I hope its a specacular flop just to imagine the confused heartbreak when someone has to explain to the monster kids why the show got cancelled...and the rage of their stage parents. |

A tornado? And white kids arresting a black kid for stealing? This show is great.

Holy cow! After reading the contract, I can't see how any parent would sign it and allow their child to go do the show. Unless the thought of six weeks of
freedom from being a parent was worth more to them than their child. Who on earth would trust a reality show television producer to keep their child safe.
Stupid parents. I feel sorry for the kids.

TV Tattle is reporting that CBS is launching an internal investigation into Kid Nation.
You'd think maybe they would have anticipated some of these concerns when they greenlighted the show in the first place. Or maybe this is all a big publicity stunt, and they are expecting huge ratings based on all the controversy. |

I saw one of the moms on CNN or some show like that last night. Pretty funny because she was talking about the contract like she had never seen it - yet sent
her kid off for this show and kept talking about the other parents not being good parents and how she thought it would be a good social experiement. Whatever.
You sold your kid out. Now you regret it.

Uhm he's a CHILD! Obviously he can't put into words WHY he misses his brother. His brother being in a wheelchair exacerbates the feeling because he is
physically infermed and maybe they are close and this child helps out his brother a lot? Geez.

I looked at the release the parents signed to put their kids on this show.
You've got to be fucking kidding me. It basically said they could exploit and edit kids as they wanted, parents had no control, and any accidents of any kind (physical or mental or whatever) the production co had NO liability. What a fucking joke. Those poor kids... not just to be cast on this TV show, but to have the kind of parents who would sign that so they're little darlings could be TV stars. Truly pathetic. |

oh, blow me. "exploit" the kids. what is it with you sue happy, mamby-pamby, big city liberals anyway? kids working a 14 hour day? ever grow up
on a farm? shit, that was a day off.
children who have a camera crew around 24x7 are not "unsupervised" or "without adults". they had to cook? to clean? to haul food and water? UNHEARD OF! EXPOLITATION! so when you strap muffy into her child seat in the back of the volvo tomorrow, with her personal dvd player showing "planet earth" for her edification... on her way to her "experience camp", that totally secure, safe and protected environment that you think exposes her to life, think about this... muffy is not so precious and fragile that forty days out of her life might include some actual work and something other than her "usual routine". muffy might acutually break a sweat. UNHEARD OF! EXPOLITATION! muffy might actually experience something about life and learn the most sophisticated lessons like "if what you are about to put in your mouth smells like bleach? IT IS PROBABLY BLEACH! don't drink it." or if you are cooking? with grease? PAY ATTENTION! or some of that shit might splatter up on your face and burn you! and if it does? a little soap and water, a little neosporin and you will be fine... but i'm afraid what the children will learn here is, if we sue we might hit the lottery! jackpot! and then muffy can be paris hilton too. fuck you muffy. and your parents too... |

The parents are definitely trailer trash to settle for $5000. There needs to be a eugenics show about stopping them from breeding.
