I'm not sure.
I wish I could be more revelatory when it comes to my opinion of CBS' new show about 40 children ages 8 to 15 living alone together in an "old, abandoned" ghost town. There were certainly enjoyable moments. You forget how precocious and nuts some children can be. That part is fucking hysterical. And some of the kids you just want to hug because they couldn't be any more adorable or self-realized for their age.
Eight-year old James was having fun running around and hunting rabbits and such, but in the midst of all this he would just start crying because he missed his parents. "I'm just not old enough for this yet," he said at the end of the show as he left the game.
Maybe that's the problem--is that it's a game. Another competition reality show like any other, except the participants are kids. And while that's interesting, I'm not so sure I want eight-year olds worrying and scheming and battling over money.
My mind's not made up on this show. I'm going to TiVO it again next week--and then we'll see.
