Kid Nation

[frenzy]

So who else is super excited for the finale this week? I'm totally looking forward to it, but sad that it's ending at the same time.

I thought this thread had died a quiet death.

Just watched last week's episode on tape yesterday. It was really great to see the town finally coming together and them succeed in a huge challenge without the big, strong teen guys being there! Good for them.

I am very much looking forward to seeing the finale!

I'm looking forward to the finale too. I wish they had a reunion show like they do for Survivor and some other reality programs. I would love to see Taylor after she's seen her behavior on the show, and find out if she or her parents are at all ashamed.

I second that!

Maybe at least they'll have something at the end where we get the parents' reactions to how their children behaved.

Am I the only one who wants to scoop up that little Alex kid and take him home with me? He's sooooo cute!

Alex has become my favorite kid on the show. I am constantly amazed at how smart he is, and the things he knows at his age! His reaction when he found out he won the gold star last week was awesome. So shocked and humble, "You chose me??" Made me cry, silly kid.

Alrighty! Who else watched the finale?

Don't want to start giving things away just yet, in case any of you haven't seen it yet.

 

[AirPo]

It was a great show.

 

[jenptcfan]

I thought the finale was a little bit of a let down.

I did get a little misty eyed a few times, though.

I just really wanted to hear more of the parental reactions.

 

[snoochface]

I thought that was an awesome show. I hope they do another season.

I barely got to even see Taylor's mother, much less hear her say anything - I wonder if there was a reason for that

When Morgan's dad stood up and thanked everyone, and Greg was so polite in how he spoke to him, I got teary eyed. Greg was such a jerk at times, but he seems like he has a lot of potential and wants to be a good kid. I hope he stays on the right path.

I still want a reunion show, though!

But not for 10 or 15 years.

THAT would be cool.

The show is over

 

[LovesToRead]

I really enjoyed the final show. It was an interesting contrast throughout it. To see how they would act with no rules and then have the sense the next day to go back and clean things up was great. And some of them never gave in to doing the wrong thing anyway.

I was so glad to see Zach finally get a star....what a nice guy and only 10 years old! I was also very glad to see Sophia get a second star...yet another one of the young people who was very mature for her years. I was so glad she chose the balloon rides.

I thought it ended in a anti-climatic way....too bad it didn't sign-up off with a bit more closure to it. I also think the kids who became closest to each other will stay in touch, given modern technology.

I had originally thought the idea of the show was horrible and I'm very glad to have seen myself proved wrong.

Looking forward to another Kid Nation.

We're going to see Zach in politics one day.

 

[LovesToRead]

We're going to see Zach in politics one day.

Could be, yep. I found it interesting how many very articulate young people were on this show.

 

[jenptcfan]

Does anybody know how it did in the ratings? Just wondering if a second season is probable.

 

[frenzy]

I really have no idea, but I hope they do a second season!

The last I read about it (in a recent issue of TV Guide), CBS hadn't officially renewed it, but they were scouting locations and soliciting auditions.

Make of that information what you will.

 

[HELENz]

I heard it had some of CBS' worst ratings... I can't see why, though. I loved it.

The kids of 'Kid Nation' did have a reunion, but I guess it wasn't a made for television type thing. Check it out.
