A 'Kid Nation' Reunion: What If The Theoretical Survivors Of Bonanza City Threw A Party?
On last week's season finale of Kid Nation, America mourned as CBS Bonanza City, the experimental, would-be utopia intended to serve as a model for reforming our utterly debased society, succumbed to anarchy, unspeakable violence, and the first televised act of child-on-child cannibalism in the history of the medium.
We still haven't fully recovered from the emotional devastation of watching helplessly as the kids' primetime community failed, but this video, alleging to show scenes of a Nation reunion, does makes us feel a bit better; even though we're well aware that there were no survivors after the network detonated a small atomic bomb in the town square in an effort to erase their God-playing mistakes, we're nonetheless touched that CBS bothered to pre-shoot such a happy epilogue to the tragic series in case things didn't go as planned, allowing us to pretend—however briefly—that the Great Candy Riot of 2007 never happened.
