Finding your Roots - PBS - 8pm
With Henry Louis Gates
I absolutely love any show about genealogical research.
Does anyone ever watch this show?
I also watch Who Do You Think You Are, which is now on TLC,

The one thing I love about this show though, is that it is more diverse (ethnically), and they do the DNA testing.
