New Who Do You Think You Are? USA

[HannahB]

I have watched it in the states and I have to say I found it quite frustrating and misleading.  They make it seem as if anyone can spend a couple of hours and trace their ancestry to some interesting person or event and they never seem to say why they went down one family line and left the others (which obviously were not so rewarding).  Hannah

I caught up on all of these via iplayer today, and I must say that they were all quite short (without ads) at 30 minutes.  All of them had some interest, but the UK 1 hour versions do give the researchers time to develop the stories much more fully.

Good grief - will need the iplayer right enough given the time they are being put on. Don't they want an audience!

Doesn't look like it, with the time & the long delay since the first part of the series! I'll be recording it to watch at a more convenient hour.

The new season for the USA Version has started, so far Martin Sheen, Marissa Tomei and Blair Underwood.

Hello Karen:

Have you seen this on the t.v. in Canada?  Will have to see if I can see it.  Would love to watch it.
