Who Do You Think You Are?

According to Dick Eastman's newsletter, ""Who Do You Think You Are"  had the second highest viewing audience when it premiered Friday evening.  Some 6.9 million people watched the program.  The highest watched program of the evening was Dateline which was televised following "Who Do You Think You Are".
 
So it looks like Ancestry, NEHGS and others really did a good job of getting the word out about this new t.v. program.  It is certainly hoped that it will encourage many people to begin their family histories by going to genealogy societies, libraries, archives and what  have you.
 
There has been some discussion as to what viewers thought of the program.  Some long time researchers were very critical.  I tried viewing as from the perspective of someone who might never have done their family genealogy but was interested.  I think the excitement at each document shown would have encouraged me to give it a go.
