MMMMMM . . . . SALTED PORK: Okay, we've only seen about half of the first episode, but Jen and I are getting hooked on PBS's new reality series (yes, you read that right) Colonial House.
Imagine the Real World, plus Survivor-level deprivation, plus -- and I know you're not used to this on reality tv -- educational content. Seventeen well-trained people sent to middle-of-nowhere Maine, where they're going to try to replicate 1600s American society, from gender roles to colonial hierarchies (the servants, they are quite indentured) to the provisions available to having to deal with local Passamaquoddy tribe.
From what I can gather, there's four 2-hour episodes, two of which debuted last week, two which debut this week, repeated frequently. Check your local listings, enjoy, and, prithee, get your learning on.
