I watched half of Kid Nation (but you can see the full ‘Kid Nation’ episode online free here as of this writing) and caught cute little 8-year-old Jimmy sobbing up a storm — home-sick as a dog.
“There’s no way in heck I’d let my 6-year-old son go off alone two years from now and not speak to him for 40 day and 40 nights,” I thought to myself, watching Jimmy on Kid Nation (who was the first to go home in the first hit episode of the CBS show) cry.
And despite other kids comforting and encouraging little Jimmy to stay and stick it out with the other young people — ranging in age from 8 – 16 or so — he sure enough decided to get the heck out of the Bonanza City, New Mexico, ghost town and head on back to his mommy and daddy in Salem, Massachusetts.
But Jimmy regretted leaving Kid Nation once he discovered that the heavy gold star they awarded the kid who worked the hardest that week were actually worth their weight in gold — 20,000 smack-a-roos!
Watching Kid Nation’s First Free Episode showed me it wasn’t that bad…
…because after all, even though they are billing these free episodes of Kid Nation online as “40 days, 40 nights…no adults, just kids” that promo is really just for drama’s sake.
The kids have that Jeff Probst-type adult host as he leads them in Survivor-type challenges.
(I’m glad to see the kids were smart enough to pick the outhouses over the TV in the first one.)
But they also have adult cameramen and women filming them nearly 24/7 — so thankfully, it’s not as dangerous as all the hype led us to believe…
Watch the free and full episodes of Kid Nation online before they disappear!
So watch the free full episodes of ‘Kid Nation’ that CBS blesses us with — hopefully they’ll leave them online for a long time.
Me thinks they might take them down after a while — because why else would they have these non-free but cheap full episodes of Kid Nation available to watch online 
Please CBS, say it ain’t so…
