Yes, I'd already circled that in my TV guide. Should be good.

Unfortunately that was October 13, 2003

I might be able to record this and make it available online somehow. if anyone's interested, PM me. Be warned it could be up to 200MB.

(edit)
It looked like it was going to be really cheesy with the producers seemingly content to send up the participating Amercian family, but after a week they connected with India and actuallty learnt something.

This has just started. The 9yo daughter says "Life might be harder for them. They might not have cable". LOL.

I had three seperate phone calls last night from people reminding me to watch the show

Despite that, I think the little girl and their teenaged babysitter were the ones that coped with the whole experience the best. I love how the father talked about leaving the tap on while he's bathing, and didn't relate that to the village running out of water at all...
