I think the first hour or so of giving a background on how country started
and progressed was a little tedious. But then it picked up in the following
episodes.

When the Carter family was invited to the Grand Ole' Opry Chet Atkins was
playing with them. Whoever was doing the inviting told them to leave him
behind and the Carters said "if Chester can't come and play then we ain't
coming either." I thought that was a hoot!

I'm soooo sick of "Finding Your Roots" I haven't watched it in well over a
year. Frankly, I don't care about Whoopi Goldberg's family history or any-
one else they delve into their background. "History Detectives" is great
and "Antiques Roadshow" is alright but two hours of it pushes my limit.

By the way, have you seen the new Sunday night series, at least it's on
Sunday night here, "Vienna Blood"?? It's in the Masterpiece Theater vein
and I think it's quite good.
