What happens

Antiques Roadshow is an American television program broadcast on Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Public television stations. The program features local antiques owners who bring in items to be appraised by experts. Provenance, history, and value of the items are discussed. Based on the original British Antiques Roadshow, which premiered in 1979, the American version first aired in 1997. From 1997 to 2018, its episodes were filmed indoors at facilities such as convention centers and ballrooms; late in the 2018 season, it switched to filming at historic sites and museums, with most or all appraisals taking place outdoors. Antiques Roadshow has been nominated 22 times for a Primetime Emmy. A spin-off of the American version of Antiques Roadshow called Antiques Roadshow FYI, a half-hour program that followed the fate of items appraised in the parent show and provided additional information on antiques and collecting, aired for a single season during 2005. Another spinoff, Antiques Roadshow Recut, premiered in 2020, ran until 2022, and returned to the air in 2024; it consists of 30-minute episodes, each drawn from a full-length Antiques Roadshow episode from an earlier season.
