I didn’t think I would feel this way, but “Kid Nation” has become one of my favorite TV appointments each week. That goes double for this week’s episode when the kids rebel against the leaders and hold elections for each team’s leader.<\/p>\n

The show has received some bad press because of the nature of the “plot” and because one parent sued based on a few mishaps that took place during filming. But I have a hard time thinking that reasonable people would have major objections if they actually sat down and watched the show.<\/p>\n

Sure, they exploit kids’ emotions for some parts, but a lot of the time is focused on the kids who step up and do their jobs well. In fact, the kids they do sho win a bad light only seem to show up that way because of their own actions. The producers didn’t make 10-year-old Taylor so spoiled that she will ignore her chores. And I doubt they taught 15-year-old Greg obscenities when he believed he was overlooked for the weekly $20,000 gold star award.<\/p>\n

The bad stuff happening in the show happens every day on playgrounds and in back yards. But the good stuff, like Morgan’s care of younger children and her sensible approach to introducing prayer to the town’s activities, is more prominent on TV. Sure, Taylor (you can’t not mention her laziness) gets a lot of TV time, but so have Zach and Michael and others who have busted their humps to get work done.<\/p>\n

So you can debate child labor laws and all those things all day long, but I don’t see the point at bashing a show that has helped show the good inside children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
