NBC has cancelled Who Do You Think You Are after three seasons. The genealogy documentary series, which premiered in March 2010, followed one celebrity in each episode as they traced back through their family tree to learn about their roots.
The show aired a total of 27 episodes and featured such stars such as Matthew Broderick, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Martin Sheen. The series finale is set to air this Friday, May 18, 2012.

This was a show that made me start watching tv again. It wss a family show. If the ratings were down it was NBC's fault for scheculing it in a time period where locals pre empted it for sports and ran it at 4AM without any notice.

I understand ratings etc. but as has been stated WDYTYA was the only truly original show on TV. NBC execs need to realize that indeed some original programming may not garner huge ratings but it's really useful for the watching public. NBC really has nothing left but useless reality shows (Boring).

NBC sucks! First they blame Ann Curry for the Today Show ratings then cancel Who Do You Think You are. Their execs are idiots.

This was my favorite show. It was the only NBC show I watched. Guess I won't be watching NBC anymore!

I lived for Friday night to watch "Who do you think you are" This was a great show. What are our lives without history? NBC bring it back!!!!!!!

I think this is HORRIBLE! There has been so much excitement generated from this program for people to research their ancestry!!! It is terrible that NBC does not see the importance of this program! There is so much potential for the future possible shows! I am so disappointed!

I, too, loved the show very much, and it was one of my favorite shows on TV, what a shame: So Who Do You Think You Are?? , was cancelled.....bad move......great show, really enjoyed it so much.......please reconsider. They have an equivalent show on PBS, that I will surely be watching. Lots of dribble on commercial tv, but this show had some great moments of interest.......and intrigue....and I was going to join ancestory.com, still will, and try and get my roots sorted out.

I'm saddened to hear that this show has been canceled. It was one of the few truly original shows on television that the whole family could watch. I don't understand why they've canceled it either, this last season had good ratings. Honestly this was the ONLY show I watched on NBC. Hopefully another network will be smart enough to pick it up.

This was a smart,emotional,and informative show. I really looked forward to watching. Harry'Law was also an above average show with snappy dialogue. Now all NBC is worth is people falling in mud and bouncing off big rubber balls. CBS is now my station of choice.
