I love genealogy, this is a great premise, but am only drawn to episodes where I know who the actor is, and actually like.
There's a lot of deep research, but also there often seems to be conjecture, rather than fact. Conclusions sometimes appear to be "jumped to".
The overriding factor that diminishes my interest in the show, is the host, Louis Gates.
He comes of as being smug , condescending,and patronizing. There has to be someone else that could take over this role and spare us the smarmy discourse, it's a great premise for a show, but would be far more captivating with a more palatable host.
