I'll tell you what. PBS has the best "reality tv" programming around in my opinion. Fuck Fear Factor, screw Survivor...Colonial House, and the programs that preceeded this one, have it done right. Take a bunch of people back in time for a few months or so, and in the whole process you learn about that time. You realize how hard and harsh living was then, how to break away from 20th and 21st century living. If you really want more information on this, go here. I'm going to bed now. It is way passed my bedtime.

i love those! there was one in england where the people (a family) had to live in a house as if it were the 1800's. and another where 3 families had to live in the wilderness in like...montana or some similar place as if they were pioneers.

GREAT stuff!

awww crap, did that start already and i'm missing it? :(
I've been watching all of them since the first one (Frontier House) and there was also 1940's house (in england during ww2) and the Manor House one as well..they've all been really good :)

I love the Houses!

Yes! These are (by far) the best shows out there right now. I was quite shocked that this Colonial House family was hit so hard with some rather 21st century news. So tragic-it kinda disrupted the atmosphere of the whole Colonial timeframe as well.

Ok- I sat here for 5 minutes trying to determine which was my favorite of the houses. I can't decide. They're all awesome!
