Hosted by renowned antiques expert Chris Jussel, the Antiques Roadshow traveled to various cities across the U.S. in its three years of existence. Featuring appraisers from top auction houses, guests got to bring their precious items to the show for a free assessment of their worth. This tape purports to be "the best of," and although there's really nothing to distinguish it as such, it is a swell compendium of Roadshow moments. Works with mistaken identities are the issue in two of the segments--a painting not by a famous impressionist and a vase with the forged signature of a famous Art Deco-era glass company. But the most interesting moments of this fun hour are the stories of attachment to the objects at hand, such as the one about the kid who got into trouble at school because his teacher didn't believe that his tattered, taped-together Revolutionary War discharge really was signed by George Washington, and the one about the man whose uncle caught a home-run baseball and was encouraged to get signatures all over it by the ball players, one of whom was Lou Gehrig. The true highlight of this tape, though, is the woman who believes that antique hunting has saved her from cancer. She brings to the show an exceptional find: a Duncan Phyfe sewing table with hairy-pawed feet circa 1805. And you have to hear the loving, detailed explanations that flow out of the mouths of the Keno brothers. Even if you couldn't care less about old furniture, you will be drawn into the show, just on the basis of their eloquent enthusiasm. --Mike McGonigal
