What was the name of it?

They are "shunned."

I can't remember. But they took a family and put them in a house from the 1600s (?). They didn't have any technology. And I think Oprah did a show where she went back in time.

Aah, I think you may be thinking of the Pioneer House/Frontier House/Manor House/etc. series from PBS/BBC. They take a group of people and have them live in whichever time period for several months.

They're really cool shows... you can tell what people can hack it and which ones are really spoiled (there's one in every show, it seems)

Thanks. I'm going to see if I can find it.
