Talk:History Detectives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Somehow I doubt "history detective" (as in "a group of history detectives") is an encyclopedic term; then again, I've never seen the show. Are they archaeologists or what? --Scimitar ^parley 14:55, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

There are two appraisers (one with an academic background in archeology, the other I don't know), a historian, and a sociologist.

They are like history experts I'am not really sure sorry. It runs on PBS. --Maoririder 14:59, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

It's a pretty interesting show. Imagine finding something in garage sale and you believe that it has historical significance but don't know how to proceed. What they do is they try and find out the history of the object and its importance by traveling all over the country, going to archives, trying scientific methods. etc. It's been on for 3 years now. --Dysepsion 01:58, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

It's a unique way to present history, on a personal side. For a regular viewer, like myself, I've noticed once in awhile that they repeat a segment from the previous season, like the recent one on the origins of Mickey Mouse. -Lugnut215 22:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
