Reviews of the hit PBS show History Detectives:

“Entertaining…a little bit of science and a little bit of history, tarted up with a "CSI" style introduction.”—The New York Times.

History Detectives always proves worth a look!”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“PBS' History Detectives is unique in a TV universe littered with history shows. The value of this show goes beyond mere historical curiosities. It stresses the amount of research and diligence needed to uncover the truth.”—Rocky Mountain News

“A brainier fantastic four investigates items from the pages of our pasts in the fifth season premiere of History Detectives on PBS.”—Detroit News

"Every search leads into some kind of surprising area. The objects are like the MacGuffin in Alfred Hitchcock's films, a small object or event that leads to complex plot turns and, always, surprises."—The Oregonian
