History Detectives

I really like the History Detectives show on PBS, but I really think they should hire a historian. Currently, they have two appraisers (one of whom has a Ph.D. in Anthropology), a Sociologist, and an Art Historian. They do a great job and the stories are really interesting--I wish I could find some interesting artifact that would be worthy of the show in my father's attic, but he'd have to have an attic first--but the show is, paradoxically, a traveling version of the antiques "road show." As a historians, I deal with documents more often than with artifacts, but I think a deeper historical context would make this show more interesting.
