Kid Nation: Starved for Entertainment

Well, on Kid Nation this week, we learned that adding arts & entertainment to the town's schedule doesn't really make for compelling television. We can sum it up like this: the townspeople were bored, the townspeople decided to demand some form of community activity, and the Town Council (after consulting the Journal of Town Management, of course) came up with a talent show.

Perhaps "reality television" won't really help the networks fill their schedules while the writers' strike continues. We might have to go back to watching commission meetings. We understand from today's Sentinel that there is a local teen who will be producing a reality show, which has already been picked up by the local access channel in ORANGE County. Hopefully he'll have a web-based version for local viewers.
