Anyone else watching this CBC show about a modern canadian family who have to eat , live and dress the way it was done in 5 decades starting from the 1940's?

Very educational and entertaining! Tonight's episode is the 70's. The 60's episode and tonight's episode brings back a lot of memories for me. 80's and 90's to come.
 
I'm really enjoying this show as well. Its kind of fun to watch and see some of the stuff that I remember growing up. Rotary phones, televisions with me as the remote control, disco dance lights ect.
 
From last night's show- "Today's children live in a protectied bubble world, children in the 70's played outside with lack of concern for health and safety" LOL!
 
very much like the show - it is the mom who makes it that good. She is absolutely hilarious: 'All I can smell is Urine'
 
My parents house is still stuck in a couple of the decades they have shown.
Decent show, I like how the kitchen has developed over time.
We should do the same with terb and show SPs from each decade.(there may still be a couple on the site now)
 
British TV has frequently put people to live in the past for a TV season, TVO and PBS often run shows like Life on an Edwardian Farm, although with real historians and archeologists as the cast-members. But the most recent I've come across uses an amateur cast to portray family life in a Victorian slum.

Those millions of hard-working people give us the XXth C that we've built today's western world upon. And it's worth noting, the series shows what 'living hand to mouth' really was. Nothing at all like the poverty we plead when someone suggest paying more taxes for the services we demand as our right.
 
Good to see that Hal Johnson and Joanne Mcleod are still around doing the fitness thing with the family in tonight's episode.

The mother was hilaroius with the "Big Hair" dancing and grooving to The Spoons" Nova Heart video.
 
Seriously? Didn't they do this on the Simpsons?
