Kid Nation



40 kids. No adults. One abandoned city. It's the job of these kids, ranging from ages eight to fifteen, to rebuild this city on their own without the help of any adult supervision. There are four kids who are the town council, they act as the leaders of the four districts in Bonanza City. Every three days there is a showdown between the districts to determine who will be the Upper Class(paid $1 to help as much or as little as they want), the Merchants(paid 50 cents to run the stores in the city), the Cooks(paid 25 cents to cook meals for everyone) and the Laborers(paid 10 cents to do the cleaning and hard labor). In addition, it is the council's job to award one kid with a "gold star" which is worth $20,000 for their hard work in the city.

Kid Nation is GREAT. It's my new favorite show. It's really amazing to see how kids interact with each other with no adults around. They all act like they are adults and the drama between the kids is fun to watch. Will they be able to come together and rebuild the city? Will the council be able to control the kids? and Who will get those coveted "gold stars"? You better tune in to find out!

Airs: Wednesdays @ 8:00PM on CBS

this is one of the most entertaining reality shows i've seen in awhile. the kids are cute and overall very mature (taylor excluded). it's crazy how little credit we give little people... they actually pull together nicely!

Survivor kids edition, overall a new and fresh twist on a reality show. The first episode pulled in one of the greatest audiences and left me a bit teary eyed. I can't help but think the parents are behind the cameramen saying "you can do it honey".
