Frontier House Movie Streaming.
Movie Title: Frontier House Frontier House is available for streaming or downloading. |
I’ve seen all of the DVD’s in PBS’s The House series. Out of all of them, I’d say that Manor House and Frontier House are the best of them.

Frontier House is pretty realistic in terms of the clothing, the setting and scenarios follow the lives of the original pioneers as closely as possible. Seeing modern day families try and relive that style of life is entertaining and highly engaing and educational. We forget how far we’ve come from those days in the past and how much we rely on modern day technology. My favorite example is TOILET PAPER!! Not only do these poor folks have to build their own outhouses, they have no toilet paper, only a small tin of water, some leaves or a small rag that has to be cleaned then reused. We forget how lucky we are to have indoor plumbing!
Although the families are not the most engaging because they seem reluctant to give up modern day conviniences and complain about the harsh lifestyle and hard work, you understand their struggles and hardships. Watching these familes become more closely knit and work as a team is facinating, and shows just how hard our pioneer ancestors struggles to build lives for themselves.

As the show progresses, we watch new challenges arise, such as running out of food, dealing with livestock, building log cabins and other buildings such as outhouses and chicken coops. Learning how to slaughter and butcher animals is another task that has to be mastered, along with learning to farm.
PBS did a wonderful thing introducing this series of “time travel” shows. Not only do we learn about different periods in history, but we learn how modern day people interact and live in these settings. These are wonderful to watch with your family and children, and would be great in a classroom setting.
You gotta love PBS. They make reality tv somehow more dramatic than all the contrived network shows put together. It makes for uncomfortable but fascinating viewing.
Three families volunteered to live as Western frontiers for five months. Log cabins, hunting, trying to farm in the harsh Montana land. The way the three families reacted is so realistic that I really thought I was seeing an 1800s frontier documentary.
The Clunes are upper-class, from California, and dont adapt well to the no-frills frontier life. They cheat. A lot. At the same time, they become closer as a family. One of the most touching moments of the series was when Gordon Clune admitted that in the 20th century, he and his wife were overly abosrbed with each other and their life of luxury. Living together in a logged cabin made him closer to his children.
The Glenns, OTOH, are middle-class, and led by an iron-willed, formidable matriarch, Karen. Her husband chafes under her iron fist, and their marriage unravels. Karen alienates her neighbors quickly. The children are uncomfortable. At the same time, the family adapts to frontier life much better than the upper-class Clunes. Perhaps many frontier families needed a strong, even ruthless matriarch to survive. Watching the Glenns also gave me a sense of the stress the harsh frontier life must have taken on families. By the end of the series, Karen’s husband Mark is a shell of a person. He seems shocked at how much his life fell apart.
The Brooks, a newlywed couple, are by far the most appealing family on the series. They represent the optimistic frontier spirit. They are peacemakers in the petty squabbling between the Clunes and the Glenns.
The series is filled with drama, and moments of humor.
