My favorite TV show

Fan Letters | By History Detectives Team | July 8, 2008

Dear Detectives,

After watching History Detectives for the first time last summer on KETC here in St. Louis, I have grown to like the show more and more. A TV show that's both entertaining and informative (not to mention flat out cool) is pretty rare, and that's why History Detectives is not only my favorite PBS show, but my favorite TV show period. Kudos not only to the detectives, but everyone else who does the nitty-gritty research that makes the show so amazing. Bravo!
If at all possible, I would encourage you to pursue airing your season during the more conventional TV season of fall/winter/spring. No need to hide one of PBS's best shows away in a short summer schedule!

In short, thanks for putting together such a great show, and keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

Brandon Sharp
Highland, IL
