Has anyone any comments after seeing the first two show of this series on the History Television Canada Channel? I do. The third one ran last night and I didn't even watch it as the first two annoyed me so much. The host is quite inappropriate-a Jim Carey wannabe. IMHO they use some unreliable sources and make illogical assumptions. It is a shame as it was a good idea and could have been a good show. I wonder if it is worth complaining to them? John

John. As with receiving poor food or service in a restaurant, or being dissatisfied with any other service or product, the powers that be do not know your feelings unless you tell them. I have not personally seen the show yet so cannot comment about it. I have however, seen many complaints on a number of mail lists. If you have complaints regarding the show I would, by all means, complain to them. I would be specific about why you are complaining, and include your thoughts on what needs to be done to improve the show. Go for it! Gordon A.

I totally agree with John. I'm interested in watching the show but the antics of the host, who also reminded me of Jim Carrey, I find quite inappropriate for the type of show. I was very disappointed. After the first show I had looked on the History channel site to see if there was somewhere I could give my negative feedback but could find nothing. This morning, however, a search for 'Ancestors in the Attic' turned up a site that gives the following email address Ancestors.Search@allianceatlantis.com to "tell us your story, ask us your questions." Although complaints are not what they are looking for here, it appears to be the only way to contact them. I'm sure all the shows for this season have already been taped but perhaps unsatisfied viewers could express their concerns for possible changes if the show continues. I plan to do this.
