via press release:
TLC BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO “Who Do You Think You Are?”All-new episodes, helmed by EPs Lisa Kudrow & Dan Bucatinsky, set to premiere July 23 TLC has ordered all-new episodes of the fan-favorite reality series Who Do You Think You Are?, with production already underway, the network announced today. 

Celebrities such as Christina Applegate, Cindy Crawford, Zooey Deschanel, and Chris O’Donnell have signed up for the emotional journey, with additional subjects to be announced. Each discovers amazing details about their family trees’ deep roots.

While we wait for that celebrity reality show to resume we have a very offbeat genealogy show to tide us over. You may either love this show or hate it and it may take you ten or fifteen minutes to decide. You may want to read a New York Times review or an Los Angeles Times review to help you know what to expect.

The "mockumentary" Family Tree on Sunday nights on HBO is certainly a different kind of genealogy program. This comedic series of misadventures experienced by the zany cast of characters is so crazy it is enjoyable if you have a certain sense of humor. As Kevin Chadwick, father of the main character admonishes his son, “Genealogy is like any other ‘ology’ – best left to the scientists.” 

The first two episodes of Family Tree have already aired and can be viewed online.
