Kid Nation

Kids are finally coming into the limelight. Reality shows featuring the younger crowd are making more of a presence on television screens. Following the lead of CBS' successful yet highly-criticized reality show, Kid Nation, other reality series have surfaced to showcase the abilities of the younger generations. This time, VH1 steps forward and offers audiences a new dish to satisfy your talent search cravings. I Know My Kid's a Star has debuted on VH1 last March 20, featuring former child star Danny Bonaduce as host.
