I must say that I love the idea of these shows. I just wish that they would find people more suited to living in the 1800. The Cooke family women like so many others can not seem to figure out that in those times, women really had no say so. It was man's work and women took care of the men. Mrs. Cooke with her head in the clouds and her mouth in the on position, just didn't get it. Mr. Cooke, should have grown bigger ball's. The Cooke family saw themselves as successful, they lived in a dream world through the hole show. The maid should have been put in her place. She seem to think she had a right to prove herself and that was not the intention of this show. I hope the next time PBS does another one of these shows. They pick better people. I must say this family was the worst. As for the ranch hands, I would hire them anytime if I had a ranch.
