is anyone else going to be watching this in May? I just read an article on it in TP, it looks really interesting!
It's part of this PBS series where they take families and put them in a time period for five months. The families have to live exactly how people of that time period lived. it sounds boring, but it's actually really interesting, and entertaining :-P Like this one season where they had Frontier Home, and these people had to live like they did in the 1800's. This one family was from LA and watching the mother and daughter's having to leave their makeup behind was so funny! lmao, i sound like a dork, but trust me it's an awesome show!
so far they've done: Victorian Home (shot in England), Frontier Home (shot in America), WWII Home (shot in England), and Manor House (shot in England). Colonial Home is going to be shot in America, and is going to show on PBS on Mondays and Tuesdays in May on the 17th, 18th, 24th, and 25th

Yeah, we had that here- i think maybe the WW2 and the Victorian ones were the ones we made- because those are the only ones that have been shown here. I didn't really watch properly but maybe i should've done!

I've seen all of them except Manor House, which was incredibely boring. The family didn't do anything except sit there - the entire time.
My favorite is Frontier Home, and then Victorian Home, then WWII Home. they're just so interesting! Like on the WWII Home, they had to blackout all their windows, and they got a lady to check their windows who check blackout windows during WWII. Granted she looked like you could have broken her with a feather, but it was really cool!
lol, or mayb i'm just a really big dork :oops:

the WWII ones weren't advertised that well, in fact, i don't remember hearing about them at all. I was just flipping through when i found out it was on.
Sometimes they'll re-show them when PBS is doing its fundraiser telathon thingy.
ugh i can't wait till may to watch colonial home! It would be so awesome to do a show like that! I think i'd love to be on all of them except for Manor House. It'd be really cool if they did like a 1920's or 30's one. Even a 1950's home, though that is pretty recent compared to the other periods they've done.
