I enjoy the show, I have learned a lot of information regarding my Irish roots, as well as places to make contacts. Many of the guest are forever entertaining.
I remember one story when the mother escaped by carrying her child on her back only to drown it when she crossed a body of water.
Tony Shaloub was one of my favorites.

Genealogical research is often fascinating, illuminating and addictive. But here's the thing about televising something that involves a lot of library time and reading -- you have to make it engaging. Finding Your Roots means well but it is nowhere near as fun or interesting to watch as another genealogical show, Who Do You Think You Are, currently airing on TLC. Unfortunately, it is Gates himself that is a drag on the show. He is a scholar and a professor and his sit downs with his guests come across like a dry lecture. The guests show up like good students for the lecture but they have had little or no personal involvement in the quest up to that point. And frankly some of them don't look too interested in their own stories.
I've been involved in genealogical research for many decades and I have learned some remarkable things at the hands of Professor Gates and his association with PBS. I don't want the show to disappear but I would encourage PBS to reformat it in favor of engaging both the guest and the viewer to a higher degree. They have the perfect opportunity to do that in the wake of the revelation that Gates and the show's producers covered up the facts of Ben Affleck's slave owning ancestry.

Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates is soaring high this season. The celebrity guests are awesome. The American history, the story telling, and the surprise endings are so moving. Every episode is a must watch. Science Pioneers, The Slave Trade, Beyond the Pale, Secrets & Lies, Off the Farm, Italian Roots. I can't pick a favorite because they are all so good. Keep the stories coming! I love this show.
Finding your roots pulls at our heartstrings and speaks to our senseability with their strong research. The Production Manager in this show really shines!
