Kid Nation?

40 Kids have 40 days to build a brave new world without adults to help or hinder their efforts. Can they do it? These Kids, ages 8-15, will turn a ghost town into their new home. They will cook their own meals, clean their own outhouses, haul their own water and even run their own businesses including the old town saloon (root beer only). Through it all, they'll cope with regular childhood emotions and situations: homesickness, peer pressure and the urge to break every rule they've ever known.

I was disappointed when in episode 7, the bullies smashed Piggy's glasses and no one seemed to respect the conch anymore. The clips for next weeks show some kind of boulder falling off of a cliff, hope it doesn't hit anyone...

Years ago, there was a bit like this on the Jaimie Kennedy Experiment, where they tried to convince kid's parents to sign up for a show called "Child Island" with reassurances that medical attention was only a 40 minute helicopter ride away. The best line was when the fake producer said, "Kids are born every day. Great television isn't."
