  The Bowler family spent three months living as Victorians, and THE 1900 HOUSE chronicles their experiences in four hour-long episodes. The television series reveals a great deal about the challenges facing the family and the others involved (albeit less directly) in the experiment -- from historians to engineers to the production crew.
