Back in Time for Dinner

The Campus family meets host Carlo Rota and begins a time-travel adventure to the 1940s. They experience wartime rationing, new rules in the home, technology-free entertainment and a diet lacking in the variety and diversity of food that they're used to.

The Campus family experiences the post-war prosperity of the 1950s. They enjoy new kitchen gadgets as well as dining at a restaurant and in front of the TV, but mom Tristan struggles with restrictive gender roles and the pressure for domestic perfection.

The Campus family enters the Swinging Sixties, with looser attitudes about how to dress, eat and live. Folk icons Sharon Hampson and Bram Morrison share their memories of coffeehouse counterculture, and the family celebrates the moon landing.

The Campus family travels back in time to the wood-paneled, crazy-patterned 1970s. Tristan finally gets a bit of kitchen help from her husband and a life-changing appliance, and the hockey-loving family gets a visit from legendary broadcaster Ron MacLean.

The Campus family arrives in the 1980s, the decade of big hair and workout wear. Change is underway in the kitchen as the men tackle a meal solo, and it's time to get physical when Hal Johnson and Joanne Mcleod lead the family in an '80s workout routine.

The Campus family has reached the 1990s, the decade of cozy comfort and home computers. Tristan takes a spin in high-end '90s fashion with style icon Jeanne Beker, the family's diet diversifies, and they reflect on 60 years of transformation.
