Kid Nation

By Michael Carrino We’re changing the name of the podcast to “Juvenile Brain Trust“. Though we’re disappointed with CBS for not making a second season of Kid Nation, we’re moving on and getting off the armchair. For you, the fans, though, the only real change will be the name — unless we can do something better. B...

By Michael Carrino Melinda from PeeAndPoop.com Since CBS hasn’t yet given us another season of Kid Nation to discuss, we had to resort to some family time with a parents magazine. After reading a bazillion Dr. Seuss books and Disney books and even going a few rounds with the Bible, it was about time to let the kids...

By Michael Carrino This week there is a new Sheriff in Bonanza city and she likes to fuck with the heads of her constituency yet she makes a pretty good sheriff. The council went over the mountain to meet real Native American Indians which was probably a thrill for the boys but for the viewers, not so much. [...]

By Michael Carrino Also, check out our girl’s Mom, Marji, with Mike on Armchair Survivor. So we thought Taylor was a pill prior to last week — well, we ain’t seen nothing yet. But, last week Mike did called it. The biggest bit of advice for our hostess this week is that she doesn’t want to become Taylor and the bigges...

By Michael Carrino This week the TV show goes places that the podcast had not yet — they were Hollering Bitches. Nonetheless, our hosts cover another list of topics that will (may) prepare young minds for life: Chlamydia and Sexual MythsWhy/When thinking about Rainbows and Unicorns is not goodDiplomacyDi...

By Michael Carrino As the kids of Bonanza City put on a talent show, we realize that the most entertaining thing on the show was watching Sophia, once again, lead the sheeple by the short hairs. But the lessons must go on so among other things we learned about: Straight JacketsSheepleSubstance Abuse (includi...

By Michael Carrino Our hostess gets full of Halloween sugar and then comes in to watch an important lesson from our friends at CBS. The kids in Bonanza City are learning about greed and money — it’s almost like a morality version of The Apprentice — with maybe a few more zeros on the right side of the decimal place.

This week the children get a taste of their Taylor-free council but that doesn’t mean the little ___ doesn’t still cause trouble. Despite the evil little vixen’s issu...

By Michael Carrino Despite the fact we didn’t get to see the entire show this week (Cleveland’s WOIO Channel 19 decided that we wanted to see a live press conference for 17 minutes with about 2 minutes of worth while data) we moved forward with our continued lessons from CBS’s Kid Nation.

By Michael Carrino Once again, everyone learns lessons this week. Michael (on TV) learns that Karma is good, Greg learns that no good deed goes un-punished even if you are doing it for selfish reasons and all of the kids learn that popular pretty people think they don’t have to do work. But back home, our little g...

By Michael Carrino The little hostess finds a man with sweet words as good as gold as she would have given Michael the diplomat the gold star.  Mike recognizes that Sophia worked very hard for her gold star and the 7 year-old says her dancing sucked — no offense.

Mike replaces Marji with the other woman of the house, his daughter. But wait, this is not one of those precious little kid shows — oh no! Maybe Kid Nation may b...
