The 1950s

The Campus family continues their time-travelling adventure into the prosperous 1950s. Tristan gets a crash-course from Canadian actor Mairlyn Smith on the standards of '50s housekeeping, hosts a Tupperware party and fancy dinner gathering all while feeling increasingly restricted by the narrow gender roles of the time. There's a silver lining when the family has their first meal out of the home since the start of the experiment, at a Chinese restaurant. Meanwhile, the Campus kids visit a '50s diner to learn what life was like for teenagers during the decade and are excited by the arrival of a television.
