House: Colonial House DVD

Comments about PBS House: Colonial House DVD:

Wow! I guess returning to the reality shows that started it all is worth it. I loved this! Watching Americans and Brits making it all work without is great entertainment. Got this and Frontier House for my Mother on Mother's Day, she says she will love me forever!

We've watched both this and Frontier House. Colonial House was entertaining but fell short on expectations compared to Frontier House. Colonial House seemed too structured and seemed to lack a sense of reality compared to Frontier House. I feel it would have been a better production if the participants had to provide for their survival as much as the Frontier families did.

I purchased this item b/c my family was interested in the 'time-travel' experiences. This one was pretty interesting as it did help me(41) and my family (ages 12,15,18,43) understand a lot of the difficulties of this era. It was not what you would call, "thrilling", but it did bring a lot of things to light. I am not a 'down-trodden' woman and I do believe in woman's rights, but some of the ladies on here, had a VERY hard time stepping into the past and filling the shoes they asked to be in. We enjoyed seeing the interaction and issues addressed with and for the American Indians of that day. We definitely got a sense of the elements and hardships that had to be endured on a daily basis. Overall, a very good DVD.
(some parts not suitable for kids, as we had to have our 12 and 15 y.o. leave or turn heads)

Colonial House, 1940's, 1900 house and the pioneer era house are all exceptional - great series (I saw them all on air, but am buying the bundled DVD pack to watch again.... only suggestion, I wish they were available free online : )
