Airdate: Who Do You Think You Are? (US)

Updated: Sarah Jessica Parker traces her ancestry in the first episode of the US adaptation of the UK genealogy series.

Hot on the heels of NBC announcing a renewal for the US adaptation of Who Do You Think You Are?, Nine has announced the Australian premiere.

The first episode, in which Sarah Jessica Parker traces her ancestry, will air at 9:30pm Wednesday April 28th (updated).

Surprisingly, that slates it after Hey Hey it’s Saturday.

If the US version is anything like the UK and Australian editions, it’s a rather strange pairing.

A repeat of Cold Case will air at 10:30pm.

Lisa Kudrow, who produces the series, will also be one of the subjects along with Matthew Broderick, Brooke Shields, Susan Sarandon and Spike Lee. NFL player Emmett Smith appeared in the second episode -unlikely to be played sequentially here?

Who Do You Think You Are? traces the family trees of well known celebrities. This glimpse into the personal lives of celebrities will also unearth interesting elements of American history. Tonight Sarah Jessica Parker journey to discover her family trees takes her to Northern California and Salem Massachusetts.

  1. I want to watch this show – US version or any versions – WDYTYA – meanwhile why is it not on right now on win/9 as the tv guide says ?? !!!! – I hate Tasmanian TV – nothing is on that you think is on – except way too much sport.

  2. Laughing at League Freak’s comment below! 🙂

    If ‘Hey Hey’ is going to be live & still pull some of the numbers it did last year, I wouldn’t expect ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ to air before 10pm. Just a thought…

  3. I watched the Lisa Kudrow episode the other week, it was quite good. I’m not interested in the other celebrities so I wont watch the others. I find it is only interesting if you know who the person is.

  4. Weird placement, maybe they are hoping the ratings will rub off on WDYTYA?

    BTW the US version is just like the others, just shorter, where as the UK version is up to 60 minutes long the US is barely over 40. The local version is right in the middle around 50 minutes.
