Bug Juice

I absolutely loved this show. Never understood why it was called Bug Juice though. I must have been about 13 when it came out. I remember they ran it over the summer holidays on channel 4, between re-runs of Pugwalls summer and Saved by the bell or something like that. I remember sitting there and wishing i was at summer camp too - ha ha. All the kids in it looked to be having so much fun, it was all about "discovering who you are" and "growing up." First kisses and all that stuff. I remember there was this really cute guy in it, i think he was the main reason i got up in the mornings that particular summer. They should have more teen docu-soaps like this, i thought it was great!

I'm 15 and I still watch Bug Juice (well, I watch it in the summer, because that's the only time they show it, as far as I know). I think it's a really good show, and most of the episodes are fun to watch. Some are boring because I can't always relate to them, being one who's never gone to camp. Mostly, though, I like the episodes where they show romances forming and things like that. The show is about campers (most around the age of like 13 or somewhere around there) and the show takes you into their experiences and allows you to watch these kids grow into like families with their fellow cabin-members. The show has tons of drama, excitement, romance, comedy, love and friendship, and pretty much everything else all rolled into one. It's great; it has something for everyone- even my 22-year old sister likes it! I'd totally watch the new season (as well as the old ones)!

This was one of the first attempts at reality television directed solely for teenagers. The first season was located in Maine at Camp Waziyatah. It had interviews like "Real World confessionals" where certain kids could vent about daily life at camp. The normal struggles of being away from home for the first time and being able to interact with the opposite sex outside of a school setting drove this show. The show starts out with the first day of camp and the different personalities that encompass each bunk. The kids grow close and it's interesting to see how the campers really become friends because they want to and not because they're forced to. Of course, there are fights about boys and couples break up everyday but isn't that obvious, it is camp after all. If the viewer watches every episode, they will want more when the end of camp approaches. It's just a very honest look at the awkward years. And great to watch when you want to pretend you're still just as awkward.

Bug Juice changed my life. I Know it sounds strange, odd , weird. But it did. I am from England, Bug Juice never aired there but five years ago i went on vacation with my family and saw it on the Disney channel. Once i saw this TV series I was hooked I wanted to go.It took a lot of convincing to my parents to allow my brother and I to go to Waziyatah. I have been going since i was 12 and it was my forth year this summer. If you are a teenager reading this come to this camp it changes your life. you make life long friends at wazi. It doesn't matter who you are or if someone at home doesn't like you everyone likes you at camp. You have so much fun. If you want to have a look go on to www.wazi.com and check it out for yourself. It is so much fun I Love it there It is my Home Away from Home

Why are they still airing this show? It was filmed in 1998. I'm 23 and these kids are my age now! They should film another season if they want to keep capitalizing on this show. or... Disney could follow another "Reality TV" trend that MTV has set. "The Real World: Las Vegas" has returned to their luxury penthouse for a 5 year reunion. Disney could bring the,then, 13-15 year old kids from "Bug Juice" back for a 10 year reunion. They could film the twenty-somethings and find out, "Where are they now?" This would work as long as they aren't in frat houses or burger joints. If that's the case, it would make for a pretty sad show. I hope that all of the cast is doing well. So the question is... "Where are they now?"
