This reality series chronicles the experience of five Amish people on rumspringa -- the time when people leave the Amish community to experience the outside world -- as they live with six "city kids" in a Hollywood Hills house. "Real World" style culture clashes ensue. Show Background: The show generated a good bit of controversy when UPN announced the project, but some of the rumbling died down after the network previewed the show for critics and appeared true to its word that it treated the Amish kids -- three men and two women -- with respect.
