Animal-rights group slams Kid Nation

By Tim Surette, Sep 29, 2007

CBS' Kid Nation has been this season's lightning rod of controversy. Even before the first episode aired just over a week ago, the mom-and-pop-less reality show featuring kids creating their own society was the target of many groups, most of… more

"Abysmal"

By Shinigami124, Nov 28, 2010 Report Abuse

Oh whew its over! and so is this awful show. "Hey i have a great idea for a show lets create a bad drama about kids having to deal with other kids in the middle of the desert" yeah the person that pitched that idea, shouldn't do anymore. Theres a reason why this show failed because it sucked. Everything about it sucked. I mean kids drinking root beer like alcohol i thought it was some kind of joke. Anyways i hope i never see this show again, unless i come back to burn it to the ground. I can't believe anyone watched this show.moreless

"Superb"

By Shyzie, Sep 03, 2010 Report Abuse

Kid Nation was so awesome but it was in America and I live in Australia. So I thought why not suggest holding a Kid Nation in Australia. My dad liked the idea and said there are heaps of closed downs towns you could hold it in. So now I am suggesting this and if you like the idea agree and help me make it work. It could be recorded and put on Rollercoaster or something. If the idea is going to be a hit and work I would like to go in it. Please think about it people, it would be a great opportunity for kids in Australia and another opportunity to have a new Kid Nation!moreless

"Perfect"

By KAF17, Sep 03, 2010 Report Abuse

Kid Nation in my opinion was a great reality show about kids. The fact that the kids had to learn how to govern and take care of themselves was a great storyline for this show. I hear they are thinking of ending the series though. If they do end this series I will be sad because I really did love this show after I started watching the series. To any one who go looking for this wonderful reality show good luck at finding it where ever you go. I am glad I was able to watch this series when I could.moreless

"Great"

By cactusjack39, Sep 03, 2010 Report Abuse

Some people say that this show was bad. I think that it was actuall a decent show. Pretty original and very much a show for families. I have to say that Kid Nation is much better than some of the stupid reality shows today, especially on MTV. Normally, I would say that kids aren't the best source of entertainment for primetime, but this show was well done. I think that the show was great considering the ratings it brought in and its premise. It was a reality television show for kids and featuring kids. What do critics expect out of them? Thank you.moreless

"Superb"

By pdragonfly78, Sep 03, 2010 Report Abuse

Too bad this show only lasted one season. It was heartwarming, funny, original(ish) and had a lot of potential. I certainly will miss it! The challenges were very interesting. The host wasn't over used. The "town" was enjoyable to see. The kids were the best part of it tho. I am sure there were a lot of outtakes that would have been great for a laugh! I wish that CBS would have realized that they had a potential hit on their hands. This show was good in the same vein that The Amazing Race is good reality TV. Overall, I loved it!moreless

Who is your favorite kid? Mine is Michael, the one who won the second gold star. He is just a good leader.
