MTV's The 70s House is an American reality television show created by Aaron Matthew Lee. The show premiered on MTV on July 5 and ended September 6, 2005. The show featured twelve contestants who thought they were participating in a The Real World-type reality show, but instead were thrust into a 24/7 simulation of the 1970s. They were required to part with all modern technology including cell phones, laptops, and MP3 players, as well as all modern clothing and lingo, only to adopt their cultural equivalents of the 1970s. It was billed as a competition to see who can "be the most 70s." The twelve contestants were: Andrew Severyn, Ashley McCarthy, Corey Hartwyk, Geo Herrera, Hailley Howard, Jami Stallings, Joey Mendicino, Lynda Khristine, Lee Wireman, Peter, Ruben, and Sarah Bray.

Welcome to the 1970s

The 12 contestants arrive at their new pad thinking that they are going to be on a Real World-type reality show only to be duped as they are greeted by host Dawn and shown the shag carpeted splendor that is The ‘70s House. Right away the contestants must learn the groovy new ‘70s slang as they unload all of their modern loot, from iPods and cell phones, to makeup and beauty products. Just like in “Charlie’s Angels”, Oscar communicates their missions to the contestants via a small black box on a desk. First challenge is a basketball tournament complete with mini-shorts! How long can they last? Who will be the first to be sent home?
