This show is starting tonight on my PBS station. Quest for the Sea follows two families who travel back in time to experience life as it was lived in a 1937 Newfoundland outport community. Here is a link to a website for more information http://www.historytelevision.ca/questSea/ It looks like it might be similar to frontier house. I am going to give it a try tonight. You may need to check your PBS station to find out when it is on near you.

Good show, a bit slow paced but lots of interesting historical stuff. The families are interesting as well. Will post more about it if anyone is interested.

Hi Hereiam, I am interested. I missed the first episode, but will try and catch it tonight. I love these historical re-enactment programs. I thought Colonial House was the most mismanaged of the lot because they allowed the people to skip church, do no work, and basically do what thay pleased, not at all true to the reality of Colonial life. The gay guy who came out would probably have been hanged for unnatural acts. Not that I am advocating THAT, of course, but in real colonial times he would have kept silent, and that is what should have happened on the show.

Hey Catfat! I missed the show tonight (amazing race night) but they are replaying it later and I will catch it then. The way they have been showing it here is two episodes at a time. So I have seen 101 & 102 and will catch 103 & 104 on the 14th I think. I believe there are only 4 episodes total. I completely agree with you about colonial house it was a big let down on how it was managed. This has seemed much better. It is nice having the interviews with the older folks who used to live that life. The show is interesting historically and the players are quite unique in there own ways. Monte seems like he might be a tough guy to live with and his wife must truly be a saint.
