About that guitar: Yeah, maybe it wasn't historically accurate, but I'd cut them some slack on that. In fact, I'd cut them some slack on everything that has been criticized so far. I noticed they were less strict with the visitors than with the three families that were there full time. The grandmother who came for the kid's birthday wasn't required to wear period clothing. She was wearing what looked like polyester slacks and a short-sleeved shirt.

When they killed the pig, they used a modern rifle instead of whatever the homesteaders might have used—an ax, maybe? In the interest of killing the pig humanely and reliably, I'd allow them that. If any of the people had gotten seriously ill, I suppose the show's producers would have allowed them antibiotics. Heck, maybe they did take antibiotics and that part didn't make it into the final edit. Who cares?

The point is for all of us to learn something, not to torture people.

Mike Billo: When were tractors used in the series? I must have missed that part. I'll watch it again, though.
