I find this show to be interesting. You have a bunch of kids with no adults. Let's see what happens.

I'll be glad when it comes on because I'm already sick of all the commercials.

I can't believe this show took Jerichos time slot.

Doesn't that describe OS?

I think the concept is interesting and will give the show a shot. I just wonder how staged or contrived some of the situations will be.

I agree....I fully expect the show to be completely dumb and not worth watching, but it's worth a one episode gamble (especially when I can record and fast forward).

CRITICS ACCUSE REALITY SHOW OF SKIRTING CHILD LABOR LAWS

The series - which in its promos is touted as being about "40 kids, one town, no adults" - has found itself at the center of a fiery maelstrom fueled by charges that the production company involved may have violated the spirit, if not the letter, of child labor laws. At least one mother whose 12-year-old daughter was part of the show has filed a complaint with authorities because of burns the child suffered.
Reports have come out about kids (the "Kid Nation" cast members were between ages 8 and 15) "working" 16 or 17 hours a day and state inspectors being barred from the set. The New Mexico state attorney general's office has launched a belated investigation.
So far, CBS has refused to concede anything and says "Kid Nation" will debut as scheduled Sept. 19. In a recent statement, it said that "these kids were in good hands and under good care. . . . We will therefore not accept irresponsible allegations or any attempts to misrepresent and exaggerate events, or spread false claims about what happened during the
filming."

They need to give them a conch shell.

Anyways, I can't wait for this show.

The C, why don't you sit down for a bit.

I actually listened to an NPR: Movies podcast about this. Its interesting, many film makers and stars are getting second homes in NM. Its kind of a cool idea though, just creating an industry for your state.

Sounds like Bush and his cabinet.

Honestly, I don't think I'll watch it on a the nights it comes out but if it comes on DVD later on, I'll probably consider picking it up. It's a good concept. I think it's a great one at that. Wish it was a little more diverse but it's pretty catching to me. Can't wait to see what you guys think of it that are watching it.

Leave this off out of OS. It has no place here and could cause an otherwise fine thread to be locked.

This show should be interesting. I just wish I didn't have the fealing that everything will be scripted. I will probably record it if I can get Vista to stop trying to search for a cable signal instead of a digital antenna signal

If there's no adults... how was the show filmed?
