A type of Reality Show that gained popularity in the early 2000s. Its premise was simple: take a family of average modern-day schlubs and put them into a setting where they're forced to live as medieval peasants. Or as 19th-century cowhands. Or as some other group that was born before the age of antibiotics, grocery stores, and central heating.
Most shows like this have a combination of educational value and the entertainment value of watching the show's hapless family (or group of families) deal with dramatic or comedic Fish out of Water scenarios. The usual is to learn that their The Simple Life is Simple conceptions are woefully wrong.
Many of the people who appear on these kinds of shows come away from their experience having learned much about how their ancestors lived and with a new appreciation for what pre-21st century people had to go through. Some people however will insist on bringing their 21st-century values into the past, living life as they feel it should have been.
Contrast Period Piece and Historical Fiction.

Tsar Gorokh's Detective Agency: Nikita sees a crowd of people in the distance; they are watching Shmulinson, a Jewish carpenter, carrying a big cross on his back. They think it's a Bibleic re-enactment and keep waiting for the logical conclusion: crucifixion. Nikita sends the people home, although a few monks grumble that it's not Christian to bring a cross and not crucify someone.

Ghost Adventures: They do this in order to get the feeling for many locations, and as a result, some of the bloodless carnage filmed for the recreation becomes Narmtastic.

The Comic Strip Presents: "Summer School" is an early send-up of the genre. The premise for the title institution is an attempt at historical recreation of a Stone Age/Bronze Age settlement that ends disastrously when one of the students is mistaken for having died and an attempt to burn his body on a funeral pyre leads the entire settlement to be burned to the ground.
