What a waste of precious life minutes that I'll never get back!<br /><br />Shan, Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I would absolutely LOVE the attempt to live in the mid-19th century, although I would want to do so without cameras.<br />American Farm could be interesting, as long as the BBC produced it. Producers of the American house shows look for drama rather than authenticity.<br />I wasn't aware of the other shows you mentioned - I will check them out.Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-64604226076936066912011-01-24T18:35:59.154-05:002011-01-24T18:35:59.154-05:00Dearest Ken,

I swoon, yes, swoon at that possiblity. <br /><br />American Victorian Farm....sounds so nice! Anyone from PBS reading? Hint, hint.<br /><br />Yours so very kindredly,<br />Shan<br />Honey Hill FarmShanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06818301991720770469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-72014763880247429332011-01-13T13:21:45.233-05:002011-01-13T13:21:45.233-05:00I love those shows.

I can't remember.<br /><br />Anyway - thanks for the link! I didn't know this existed.<br /><br />AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183354814224320009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-17534097333260334352011-01-13T11:15:30.437-05:002011-01-13T11:15:30.437-05:00Robin and Stephanie - I'm interested in your t...Robin and Stephanie - I'm interested in your thoughts (and any others who read this) on Victorian Farm after you watch it.Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-54592869891569782782011-01-13T11:14:14.160-05:002011-01-13T11:14:14.160-05:00I hated - absolutely DESPISED - Colonial House.

Garbage.<br />I actually didn't mind Frontier House, even with the whiny Californians and the Tennessee couple's drama. Not sure why, but I did like it.<br />For the most part, however, it seems that PBS just wanted drama instead of a 'can they do it' attitude.Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-13848453921611148232011-01-12T22:42:00.755-05:002011-01-12T22:42:00.755-05:00Can't wait to watch it.

I thought the people in Colonial house acted very un-colonial.Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-85892770015504190582011-01-12T22:06:23.297-05:002011-01-12T22:06:23.297-05:00Thanks Ken, will pop over to take a look at it now...Thanks Ken, will pop over to take a look at it now!Robin's Egg Bleuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940955157144789351noreply@blogger.com
