CBS came out with their fall lineup today and they seem to have hit the reality show jackpot and/or opened themselves up to ridicule and lawsuits. The premise: 40 kids between the ages of 8 and 15 build a new city in the ghost town of Bonanza City, New Mexico. The title: Kid Nation. No "Lord" or "Flies" in the title but I guess they don't want any self-fulfilling predictions of utter chaos that involve killing fat kids with glasses.
IMDB lists these particularly great taglines from the Harry Hook-directed 1990 Lord of the Flies movie:
No parents. No teachers. No rules... No mercy.
What separates Man from Beast? Not Much!
