So I trust we all watched the premiere of Colonial House last night on PBS? I enjoyed it, although not as much as Frontier House. As those of you who have been reading since the beginning (bless both of your hearts!) are aware, I believe very strongly that Frontier House was the Best TV Ever. Colonial House is not as satisfying for a couple of reasons.
1. Hierarchies.
One of the best things about Frontier House was watching that stupifyingly rich asshole and his family struggle just like everyone else, and then actually become nicer and more tight-knit. (Well, the family at least, if not the guy.) It depresses me to watch shows where some people have servants (see for example Manor House), because they immediately become bossy, arrogant asshats, no matter what their previous position in life.
2. Jesus.
Too much. Not into it.
3. Maine
is not as pretty as Montana. Sorry.
However, it does have one or two things going for it, like
1. Those hot freemen! Yessir.
2. Interestingly bigoted Jesus family
Kid: Those Indians are scary, like they were back in olden times!
Mom: Well, Indians are still dangerous. Don't you watch the 10:00 news?
Kid: No . . .
3. More acknowledgement of the Native American issue in general.
Frontier House must have taken some shit for its mere glancing nod at holocaust.
Allow me to direct your attention to the quiz that Myra-Lee showed me, which can tell you whether or not you would have made it on Colonial House. My life is apparently Comfortably Contemporary, which I think means I'm too lazy.
