I like the show personally. But there is some issues. Anyway here's the basic plot there's these 40 kids left in a deserted town named Bonaza city. They work to make a better town that's basically it with some smaller plots like winning the gold star for the most hard working kid. Now on to my question is Kid Nation real or fake? Here's some examples of the kids just acting. Zack is always doing hard work and being a leader but I don't believe it he just probably faked because he's always in front of the camera. My second example is Taylor she acts like a brat who needs rehab, but people on the internet say she's not like that in real life. Probably the producers told Taylor to be that way for entertainment. My last example is Greg the oldest. He acts tough just to look like the smartest and coolest on the show.I hope I convivnced you that Kid Nation is fake.

I thought that Kid Nation was a pretty interesting take on society in general.And of course its partially scripted, they are not going to put the entire show into the hands of the kids and say run with it. But I think the reactions of the kids, the actions of the kids and the emotion of the kids is very really.It is almost a miniature of the real world. There are the hardworking kids and there are the lazy kids, there are the outgoing kids and there are the shy kids, there are the aggressive kids and there are the timid kids.All in all, it was an interesting premise and I thought, fairly well done.

This has become my favorite show. I love these kids. They have shown maturity, a great work ethic, and above all hope for the future. From what I have seen there really has been not a sign of prejudice. These kids always seem to be able to work out their differences with no hard feelings. I love how they shake hands after their differences have been sorted out. I unfortunately don't know very many men that do that. Especially around the children's hockey arena. Adults could learn from these children. The only thing I wasn't all that crazy about was the children having to cook their own meals in the old cook stoves. I think I would have had a hard time doing that. Some of the challenges seemed to have been set up to make the kids fail like the rock hauling one. How on earth are kids supposed to know how much 500 lbs of rock are?

In a nutshell... watch it at least once and then make up your mind. Either you like it, hate it, find it somewhat endearing and inspiring or truly feel it is exploitative. But don't prejudge this based on what you've read in newspaper articles or on the Internet. That to me is just a sad commentary on what our country has turned into (protest and censor something without even knowing what it is about.) I personally find it entertaining and am happy to see kids that age be able to work together and handle life much better than many adults. And for people who feel parents should be concerned about leaving their kids out in the middle of nowhere with no adults around. Come on. There are more crew and production people on the premises than the 38 or 39 kids. These kids ARE supervised.But the bottom line is... there are many other shows on Wednesday night at the same time as KID NATION. If this isn't your cup of tea, don't watch it.
