Everyone knows that reality shows are about as real as Donald Trump’s hair. The most notoriously cheesy shows have always been the pseudo hook up shows. We’re talkin’ ‘bout The Bachelor, Who Wants To Marry A Millionaire and so on. Despite their obviously loosely scripted drama, people can’t seem to get enough, and the top provider of love-based competition is (by far) VH1.

 Every parent hopes their kid will be smart, successful and above all else, happy. To help get their kids on the right track, parents encourage educational activities and wholesome influences. One of the biggest concerns has always been TV; what the kids are watching, what they’re being exposed to.

There always seems to be a generational gap that causes some differentiation between what youth regard as hot and what adults think youth regard as hot. I’m sure you can think of a time when your parents thoroughly misunderstood the pop culture phenomena that were important to you…I’ll never forget the time my Grandmother referred Beyonce’ as Bee-Ons (My sister and I still make fun of her, behind her back, for that one). Youth don’t always take kindly to their heroes being misconstrued, and in case you’re not in the know, let me introduce you to one possible hero: NOFX.

It’s true that reality television holds a viewership of teens, young adults, and adults but one market that has been recently tapped into for primetime television is the youth market ranging from pre-teen to mid-teen. The producers over at CBS decided to create a primetime program about 40 children and young teens, ages 8 to 15, who are chosen to create, build, maintain, and live in their own world with no adults and no rules. By making an abandoned town their own and learning how to eat, sleep, and live amongst each other, it seems as if it is the child’s turn to prove his/her capability to “survive.” I think this is a bold move on CBS’ part to create a series about children and young teens, steering away from the traditional dating, weight-loss, and real-life inspired television shows that occupy other prime-time slots.
