Kid Nation

I don’t know if any of you have had the chance to watch Kid Nation on CBS, but I did watch a couple episodes and it was quite annoying. Besides the fact that it seemed incredibly staged and that I don’t know a lot of 10 year olds with the vast vocab that some of these kids have, the episodes were just drawn out. Most of the kids seem like they were wannabe child actors and that’s how they got the “part” in the first place. Come on! One of the nine year old kids said his “hero” was Al Gore and that he had read the book An Inconvenient Truth. How many nine year olds are reading that?

I just hope they are offering life insurance for kids in case some of the children decide they are really living in the old west!
