CBS Addresses ‘Kid Nation’ Story
July 18, 2007 11:01 AM
TelevisionWeek’s cover story “The Founding of Kid Nation” explored how CBS either smartly engineered a groundbreaking TV show that allowed 40 kids to escape the conformity of our consumer society and get a lesson in hard work and friendship that will last a lifetime, or found greedy parents willing to sacrifice their children for an exploitative and abusive new low in so-called reality programming.
You’ll find both opinions rephrased literally hundreds of different ways in the comments below the piece, including feedback purportedly from “‘Kid Nation’ parents.” (A surprising number of responders misconstrued the story’s description of CBS programming as “long considered the most conservative of the broadcast networks” as a shockingly naive liberal attack on conservative political values—the modest cost of Drudge Report flooding your site with readers.)
CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler addressed the story on the TCA stage when a critic asked about “reports” that the network took advantage of a loophole in New Mexico labor laws and used the Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch film set (which includes a couple of original structures, but was mostly built in 1983 for “Silverado”) instead of a real ghost town to re-create “Bonanza City.”
“The show absolutely did not violate any laws in New Mexico,” she said. “[The kids] were not employees of CBS. [Bonanza] was originally a ghost town … but it had been used by a couple of movie crews after that, yes.”
Not that CBS minds the controversy. Tassler repeatedly noted the network is actively courting debate as part of its strategy to create more buzz-worthy programming.
“There are aspirational elements to the show, but in order for a reality show to really get out there and change the landscape of television, you have to stir public debate,” she said. “We knew we were going to create some controversy. … I don’t want it to have a negative connotation. … The whole objective was to get out there, do something different and try and reach out to have people talk about the show.”
More to come after the “Kid Nation” panel this afternoon.

My question is with tv programing at an all time low, what can a reality show about a bunch of snotty nose kids offer the 18 to 30 year olds or a matter of fact offer anybody. Barnum and Baily said entertain the people and they will come, bore the people and they will leave in droves. It seems network tv wants to bore the people. Oh well I guess I will go rent a dvd when Kid nation is boring us to death.

I thought the preview for "Kid Nation" was refreshing. The kids were thoughtful, sincere and interesting. They were more honest than most adults I have seen in television in a long time.
I think it is going to do well and strike a cord with viewers who are tired of boring, backstabbing entertainment.

Let's bear in mind that most folks posting comments are doing so without having seen "Kid Nation". We can pontificate all we like about its quality or lack thereof, its social significanace and its treatment of the kids who appeared in it. We just don't know yet.
But one thing I do know for sure: CBS are being absolutely ridiculous when they try to defend their exploitation of these children for financial gain. I have ten years experience of navigating child labor laws for BBC Childrens Programs, so I know a little of what I speak.
CBS justify their actions on two grounds: that they did not violate New Mexico law, which they apparently did not, and that the children were not employees and were merely attending a summer camp-type environment where cameras happened to be rolling almost non-stop. It is this so-called justification that is utterly spurious: If you offer kids the opportunity to play video games 24 hours a day, they'll jump at it, but that doesn't mean that it's good for them. If a video game developer set it up, then they are guilty of child exploitation, as are CBS and the production company in this case.
Ultimately, there was a third way, in between the letter of every other state's child labor law, and what CBS actually did. You could call it adhering to the spirit of the law. If we accept that it is OK to place the kids in this camp environment, free of adult supervision (which is admittedly a bit of a stretch), we must recognize that the presence of cameras is going to affect their behavior, and the recording of their behavior is therefore an endeavor entered into for financial gain.
What they should have done is only have the crew there, and the cameras rolling, for the amount of time allowed under generally accepted child labor law. Then it wouldn't be exploitative, but they'd still have roughly the same show.

I would like to start off by saying that I like this show, and my reason for that is inspiration. I watched the premier and thought that it was wonderful!!! Here are these KIDS that are willing to spend their whole summer in a deserted place and work to get a whole town up and running. In my mind, I am thinking, "WOW, if 40 kids can work together to do something that not most adults would want to do, then ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE." I just wish that something like this would have came out when I was a child, I would have wanted to go in a heartbeat.
To all the people that don't like this idea, think that it is working kids to their core.. You are wrong. At anytime these kids can go home, and the ones that stay, are their because they want to be there. If it was so horrible for the children, don't you think that the show would be over in the first week because all of the children would leave.
I think this show is going to be a big hit, and I can't wait for the many many many more seasons to follow!!!
ROCK ON KID NATION, ROCK ON!!!!

I just wanted to say that I watched the premiere of Kid Nation and I thought the overall concept and experience were good, but CBS saying that the kids have no adult supervision is a bit of a stretch. All the camera crews that were around, along with the "host" (for lack of a better word) were adults. All the promos made it seem like there wasn't going to be any adult interaction so that it would be a true social experiment, but instead there is this host that shows from time to time and brings along challenges (a little "survivor-esque") and awards money and the gold star/$20,000 prize. I was very disappointed with this aspect of the show.

I think this show is great!!! Sure a bunch of it is staged but for the most part these kids are doing a bang-up job of showing how strong they are both emotionally and morally. Having worked in an educational environment (middle school level) I think many parents would be shocked to know how their children behave when not at home. For the most part the parents of these kids should be giving themsevles kudos for a job well done. Of course, there is always the exception to the rule such as Taylor. I believe I would find it difficult to justify her behaving like such a spoiled, self-centered, lazy girl. But perhaps the upside is that they can see this negative behavior and act accordingly to steer her in the right direction before it is completely too late.

I think Kid Nation is a fabulous show. What Marti Snyder said in the first comment above about what this show can offer 18-30 year olds obvious means that they haven't seen the show. I'm 23-- right in the middle and love Kid Nation. So many of the kids are very unique, interesting, caring, ethical, humble, with the most mature and honest things to say about work, religion, money, and all of the other topics that are brought up in each episode.
When watching the show, you can see that the kids love being there. When there are kids that are homesick, there are others that are there for them and try to comfort them. It's really sweet. If they really want to go home, they go home. Not sure if the same effect can be duplicated, but it was a great idea put into action.

Please Put me on the show. I want to prove that kids can actually do more than chores. No one believes that kids can do more. They think we just sit around all day and play video games.That's wrong I want to ride my bike and play the drums but I can't ride my bike beacause its cold here in Virginia and I can't play the drums because my dad won't let me. I Watch the show and it's awesome! I'll try to get more veiwers to support the show more than they already are. And I would make a difference in the show by actually trying to bring peace to the show. But please try to get me on the show.

Heller im chelsea im 14 im white/black n i live in FLORIDA BABY!. But anyways i would love to be on this show It would be somthing new for me. I would like to prove to everyone like my mom and sisters that i could do somthing without them.Im a city girl so im not used to the country but i love an adventure and im very competetive. I like to work hard but Im also lazy. I love to have fun and party and I always try to stay in a good mood and I am sort of random. I think i would be great for this show because they need someone crazy as i am and it would be funny down here in 954 becuase i know so much people and they dont think of me as a hard worker just a funny outgoing person.BUT FOREAL I WANT TO BE ON THIS SHOW YOU WONT REGRET IT I PROMISE SO SEND ME SOMTHING MAKE ME HAPPY

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ummm I would really like to be on Kid Nation because everyone thinks that I can't accomplish anything and that I'm just some stuck up snooty city girl. (that saying is from a kid in my class.) I love this show and it would really change my life around. I could prove to everyone that I can do something if I really belive in it!!!!!!!! I'm 11 years old and I belive anyone can do anything if you just try!!!!!! (If i get on the show i'll be 12 when we start filming.) Now I probably won't be on this show because I never win anything or get what I belive in BUT can you please take me into consideration? Thank you for taking time out of your day to read these lies that people type. (I'm telling the truth so just so you know.) So thank you for being great people and making a show that allows US to be reconized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by angel | December 14, 2007 7:33 PM
I love Kid Nation. It teaches kids responsiblity and leadership. People are over-looking the concept of the show and do to the fact that everyone is writting about how its bad and there was no adult supervision. Not to mention that you have camara people taping the kids, the host who shows up every one and a while to move the show along. I also read in one article that they had ambulances there just in case something happened. Yaaaa every once in a while you have a chance of burning yourself on the stove or tripping but other than that nothing likely will happen. Im so sick hearing bad reveiws of Kid Nation.If you dont want your kid to be so far away than dont send them off to go on the show. Dont go complaining about other kids whose arent yours. Some parents would like to send their child on a life time experience to learn teamwork and leadership! I love Kid Nation and hope there are lots more seasons to come!!!

I think that being on kid nation would be great!! Seeing kids survive on their own, with out adults, proves that kids are smart, and we can use our resources. If kids can do it, anyone can! Please send me an aplication. Being on kid nation would mean the world to me, because I love the show, and I want to show the world that I and kids younger and older than me can build our own city.

Hi! My name is Meagan. I really don't want to tell you my last name. But, I really want to be on this show. I am 12 years old, turning 13 on July 30th. I think that this show is very fun and enjoyable. My brother and sister love to spend their time playing video games, but I would prefer to be on this show. I try to work hard at home, but sometimes i forget. This show would help me be more work responsible
If anyone could, would you please send me an application for season 3? Because I heard that they all ready finished the applications for season 2. If that's not true, send me the application for season 2, please.
Thank You!
Meagan
