I've watched both episodes, and will continue to watch the rest of the 7-episode series (Lisa Kudrow, one of the exec producers of the show, will be this week's episode), but I have mixed feelings. As an avid genealogist, I think the series is great in that it shows folks how fascinating genealogy can be -- how it can help you to learn more about yourself by learning about those who came before you. On the other hand, I think it does a bit of a disservice by making it appear that it's so easy to find information to go back so many generations. Sarah Jessica Parker and Emmitt Smith both have a lot of money, and can afford to just jump on a plane to head off to a totally different area of our country, not to mention another country altogether; when the vast majority of us simply don't have that option. Another sticking point is that Sarah Jessica Parker and Emmitt Smith (and the other five celebs to follow in the coming weeks) have the benefit of several professional genealogists and archivists searching for information long before they arrive in town. The information is simply handed to them. They aren't spending hours upon hours looking at rolls of microfilmed records, etc. I have a World Deluxe membership to Ancestry.com. I have access to every record they have. Plus, I'm an arbitrator for submissions to Ancestry.com - both from the World Archives Project as well as corrections/suggestions that folks submit regarding records that are already online. Yet I continually hit a total roadblock when it comes to ancestors/family in Pennsylvania, because Pennsylvania has close to nothing available online. I wish it were as easy as the show makes it appear...

We finally got around to watching it. We had it recorded on the DVR. What a weird way to get rid of a character. Why not have him move away or something. Why did they end it that way? It really depressed me. Clare

cawaps - my Spanish is too rusty to watch anything in Spanish without subtitles. lolauren - Great to hear! If ExpressVPN worked for you I'm sure it would work for use in Mexico. The price for one month is not a deterrent. I was more concerned to hear it works. bonnie_ann - I tried downloading Netflix LAST year for use in MX and it didn't work. I'll sign up for ExpressVPN mid-January and hope it works. Then I'll make sure I have plenty of books downloaded before I go!

Yes--we've already watched the whole first season. We really enjoyed it, as it was something different than we normally watch. I thought the character development was well done, and it definitely kept our interest. Sure hope there is a season 2. I think there probably will be--they can't leave us hanging like that, can they?? Alisande--we're like you in that we are usually waaaay late in watching a TV series. We are on season 8 of NCIS!
