This one is 17 people (families adn some single people) acting as colonists. They came to the coast of Maine in a boat, which I think they had been on for quite some time, and now they have to do what they can to survive, plus grow a corn crop to pay back the "investors" back in England.

I saw a behind the scenes of one, I think it was Frontier House, and some touchy subjects came up like wearing makeup, menstruation (!) and birth control methods. There were some testy people who were like, "I have had enough kids, and I am not having any more," and then some who were like, "C'est la vie," or whatnot.

I love the fact that the narrator keeps the viewer up to date with the historical aspect of it all.

Go to the website to get more info...I think more will be on tonight.
