Kid Nation was way above a lot of adults head. Critics are making a mountain out of a mole hill about it. Simply put, this show was about watching how children cope with everyday lives and how they solve their every day challenges.

Let’s define work; to think that doing dishes (by hand), cleaning house (using a real mop & broom), preparing meals, etc. is work, is mildly “Hog Wash!” These are everyday tasks or “chores” that have to be done. Any child that doesn’t learn this early-on has a BIG problem ahead of them in life. This show was not only entertainment but, very educational as well. Every cast member of this show will never forget the experiences they LEARNED while on this show.

It is a pleasant feeling to know that there are still some children out there that can figure things out on their own, how to work most problems out, how to get along with, and take care of, each other in life. Kids, “hats off to you,” Go for it!

Last fall we all sat around the television set as a family, watching every week; and then, waited for the next week’s episode to air. It was a wonderful family program. We as a family even Google Earthed and found “Bonanza City” in New Mexico (Bonanza Creek Ranch Movie Set #1, just southwest of Santa Fe) and pictured where they were and what it could be possibly like there during filming. Kid Nation sure beats all the lousy crime shows that they have now left us with (which we don’t watch).

…As for asking CBS to make Kid Nation 2. If that has seemed to fall on deaf ears…hit CBS in their pocket book!

Write the companies that advertised their products during the commercials when the show aired. The companies running the advertisements have a lot of pull as to where their monies are spent. If the public shows the advertisers that they were watching their commercials during the show, they are a lot more willing to tell CBS that they want their products shown on “Kid Nation 2, etc.” They have a larger voice than you and I combined.

Let’s all get out our pens, pencils and paper (or) exercise our fingers on the keyboards and write those letters and emails!

You are obviously one of those that don’t read. Go back and read above! “Some other provisions of the agreement include…(2) that the kids will NOT have sex with the producers,…” They are not saying that they are not responsible for that! As for the rest, Get Real! CBS has a vested interested to ensure that no harm or accidents come to their property. Those kids are making CBS $$$$$$ and CBS wants in every way to make sure no harm comes to their investiments! Start reading between the lines! ie. Stop allowing other people to think for you, Start THINKING for yourselves for a change!
