Amish in the City is an American reality television series which premiered on UPN on July 28, 2004.
The plot revolved around five Amish teenagers experiencing "modern" (non-Amish) culture by living in a house with six mainstream American teenagers.
accused the show of giving the participants an unrealistic view of "modern" culture and of showing the behavior of the unadjusted Amish like a "spectator sport" for mainstream American viewers.
The producers stated that they plan to follow the original series with updates on the current status of the cast, especially since their decisions at the end of the series may change.
[citation needed] The concept was initially denounced by some for appearing to capitalize upon popular stereotypes about the Amish; later critical reviews were more positive.
