'Kid Nation' puts Hollywood labor tension into sharp focus

Los Angeles Times: "Were they working? There doesn't seem to be a simple answer. But what is clear is that CBS' new reality venture, which placed 40 children on a New Mexico ranch without any contact with their parents, has become a flash point in a television genre actors and writers have long blamed for taking jobs from them."

Reality tv can get away with some wild stuff, can't it?

When i first heard that this show was airing, i couldnt help but think about the liability issues the producers must have tackled. I guess they can get away with anything if they pay the parents enough to sign the contracts...
