Reality show. A couple, their daughter and two grandchildren volunteer to spend several weeks living under wartime conditions. That includes all their clothing, including underclothes and nightwear; being constantly pushed to keep up with traditional grooming methods and dealing with severe shortages of all grooming products such as tooth care products, all types of soap and shampoo, shaving supplies for Michael; learning to live with rationing (12 ounces of candy a month, 4 ounces of ham a week, etc.,) and digging up the back yard partly for extra vegetables and partly for an "Anderson" air raid shelter. Several historians and "experts" formed a War cabinet to direct events, and push the family through 6 years of war in those weeks.
