Once again another family type show bites the dust. Who do You think you are was a great TV show and was often heart warming. I am damn tired of the fantasy murder mysteries, or the everyone sleeps with everyone else hospital BS, and such phoney crap shows, that the family shows go by the wayside. You had a great show but dropped the ball. Genealogy is a large hobby and is still growing. A five min genealogy tip at the end of one of your episodes would have brought in large numbers of genealogists. But replace it with another far fetched action adventure which you will run out of ideas for and start some fantasy episodes where they go into another century, or ghosts give them clues or any other idea in which your audience will get tired of quickly.
Please consider bringing back the "who do you think you are" show.

No wonder I watch so little NBC. Now all they have on Friday night are those stupid comedies that will be cancelled after 5 episodes. What a waste of air time!!

NBC - BRING BACK THIS TERRIFIC SHOW! I learned more about history watching this show than I did in high school.

I am soooo disappointed, I love this show and looked forward to my Friday night program!!! I only found out like everyone else, when I was looking to see when it would start up again, have really missed it! Shame on you NBC, you would rather stick all the trash shows on and take off the one with great content and historical value! I am so very upset with you, i will not be turning your station on....

Please do not cancell this show, it was one of my favorite shows!

It's hard to imagine what NBC is thinking. I looked forward to Friday nights, there is so little of value on TV anymore. The show always led to a Monday conversation at the office. I know I'm not alone in my passion about this show. Come on NBC give us viewers a break!

I agree with all of the above. I so looked forward to seeing this show on Fridays. It was a bright spot in an otherwise dim array of shows on that night. Not sure how you came to the conclusion that this show was not faring well. BIG disappointment.

I am so disappointed. This was my favorite show last year. I loved watching it. This is a really bad decision. I wouldn't have known the show was cancelled only that I was checking to see when it would return. There is such trash on TV today, but a good show like this gets cancelled. I really don't understand it.

Like most of the others, I just found out about the cancellation by checking to see the return date. I've been looking forward to a new season all summer and fall. This is another strange decision; I guess we who enjoy a serious, informative TV show aren't in the "correct" demographic. I'm sick of being invisible when it comes to selecting TV shows. Sorry NBC, I won't be sticking with you for the replacements.
