About Us

Part adventure, part history lesson, and part treasure hunt, five-time Emmy® Award-nominated ANTIQUES ROADSHOW marks its twelfth season in 2008. PBS's highest-rated series, ROADSHOW is seen by almost 11 million viewers each week. Veteran television personality Mark L. Walberg serves as series host.

In each hour-long ROADSHOW episode, specialists from the country's leading auction houses — Bonhams and Butterfields, Christie's, Doyle New York, Skinner and Sotheby's — and independent dealers from across the nation offer free appraisals of antiques and collectibles. ANTIQUES ROADSHOW cameras capture tales of family heirlooms, yard sale bargains and long-lost items salvaged from attics and basements, while experts reveal the fascinating truths about these finds.

Season 12 premieres Monday, January 7, 2008 at 8pm on PBS

ROADSHOW experts barnstormed the country in the summer of 2007, putting more than 60,000 antiques and collectibles through their paces before picking a select few for a television. The crowning contenders from Baltimore, Orlando, San Antonio, Spokane, Louisville, and Las Vegas will grace 18 new episodes, followed by two ANTIQUES ROADSHOW Special Editions filled with crowd-pleasers from previous seasons.
