Back in Time for Dinner Online

A typical middle class Canadian family goes through an experiment to live in the past as a middle class Canadian family would, that life down to their suburban house interior being stripped to the walls and redecorated and refurnished with items solely from the era, the same with their clothes. These items are switched out weekly as they move onto the next era, each week the equivalent of one decade progressing in time throughout the week. They are provided a manual each week on how to live, including recipes from which they must make their meals. The show host provides background on the era in question, and periodically discusses with the family their feelings concerning the experience in light of their twenty-first century current life and mentality.

Alright, time to start in Canada 1880 and work our way forward in a second season! Love these shows that combine food, history and culture. Give me more!

Great mini series to watch and takes me back to my childhood and makes me appreciate my mother more. The younger kids should watch this and see how lucky they are today.

The show is enjoyable. I have not seen the British counterpart to compare. I would like to do that. I was quite shocked at moms attitude towards some of the foods she was cooking and having to do things by hand. My mom was a single mother and so am I. We both know how to cook from scratch for our children. I am familiar with foods like kidneys, heart, tripe, etc. I knew how to make stock before I was 9. So I am kind of wondering if she had to put on an act just for ratings. I can't see a woman who has raised 3 teens being so out of it in a kitchen. I don't think it matters which decade she was in. So I guess I gave a lower score because I believe too much of the show was a scripted act.

This show has very little to do with looking at the food eaten during different eras. It seems to be more about showing that the self-admittedly spoiled family spends a lot of time pining when they are deprived of appliances, smart phones, and meals that require no culinary skill. I find that more depressing than entertaining.
