Kid Nation had no delivery. It was all hype, as we all knew it would be, but still curiosity killed the cat and I had to watch. CBS did a good job with the build up as they did last year with the Suvivor Racial divide and now Kid Nation and labor laws? The show was a waste of my time. It won it’s time slot, but then again it was against Gossip Girl, and Top Model. I thought the show was a rip-off of every other reality show, but there was no vote-off. Heavens forbid, hurt the kids feelings.

Truthfully, I was bored and think the show should be on after Saturday morning cartoons. I will watch next week and give it one more chance, but they better re-shoot or something miraculous should happen, like the kids starting their own mariachi band or something.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I liked the show…the whole ‘making a new society’ is incredibly fake but I like the kids (some more than others). I wrote up a review. Check out my full review at reelfans.com.

    i agree with feeling a connection with the kids (with their likability)…what’s there not to like when it comes to kids. i will watch next week, but as far as expectations and the show, i thought it fell flat and i was bored. but then again, i guess there can’t be too much scandal, they are kids after all. i’m curious to see where the show goes. time will tell, right?

    I agree. It wasn’t bad but I was a little bored. In fact I basically said the same sort of thing when I recapped it for the Gasm. According to the comments I received, it seems many beg to differ. Sticking with it through this week just like you. Fingers crossed!
