Goodbye Bonanza City

The show Kid Nation aired it's season finale tonight. I've never been as sad to see a show end. Who knows when the next season will start. The controversy behind it is making it so they cannot do another season within the United States.

Every Wednesday night for the last several weeks me and my family have sat down and watched Kid Nation together. By this weeks episode I felt almost as if I knew some of the kids that were shown regularly on the show. Sophia, Laurel, Anjay, Greg, Michael, Guylan, Taylor, Mallory Olivia... All those kids were people that I would love to meet, and even though I know I never will, I feel as if I have.

I can't begin to imagine how much it must suck to leave Bonanza City knowing that there is a chance that you will never see those people you came to know so well again. These kids were so amazing. They were able to build and maintain a community without a whole lot of help at all. They were able to create themselves a organized town. They are my heroes. Sophia, Greg, Laurel, and every other kid who was in Bonanza city.

I hope that CBS will find somewhere to have another Kid Nation, because just watching the show was awesome. Just imagine how it must have felt to be part of it.
