No Advance Screenings for Kid Nation
Uh-oh. My most anticipated high concept show of the fall looks like it’s in trouble. Kid Nation, the show where CBS lets loose a horde of unsupervised kids in the desert and simply hopes that nobody gets hurt bad enough to sue the network, isn’t being screened for critics in advance of this Wednesday’s premiere. This almost universally means that the product is unwatchable.
Of course, I’ve actually been in this exact situation before. I’ll let you judge how it went that time.
Sucks to your ass-mar, Piggy.

I heard one of the kids drank bleach.
And I bet you couldn’t tell me one other line from Lord of the Flies.

I wouldn’t watch this garbage if someone paid me. I am sick of all these reality shows. There is nothing on TV to watch and yes I agree they canceled Jericho for this junk.

Jeff,
There’s probably some line about a conch that I could figure out if given enough time. Though, I admit, Sucks to your ass-mar is certainly the most memorable line from the book.

HOW COULD THEY PUT KID NATION IN JERICHO TIME SLOT THIS SHOW BLOWS…… KID NATION MUST BE CHEAP TO MAKE CAUSE WHY ELSE WOULD CBS MAKE THIS JUNK. TIME FOR CBS TO REACH IN THE PIGGY BANK AND MAKE SOME REAL SHOWS. I THINK ITS SAFE TO SAY REALITY SHOWS THAT JUST DON’T CUT IT ANYMORE.
