PBS’ popular series Antiques Roadshow will return for season 17. The upcoming season of the network’s most-watched primetime series will kick off on January 7, 2013 at 8/7 Central.
Season 17 will include 21 new episodes as well as six newly restored episodes of “Vintage Roadshow.” And one lucky season 17 Roadshow participant will even be featured as they learn from their visit with the experts that their painting is a lost Diego Rivera painting done when the artist was just 18 years old and appraised at $800,000 – $1,000,000.
Per PBS:
“From Corpus Christi, Roadshow heads to Boston, Massachusetts; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; Cincinnati, Ohio; Rapid City, South Dakota; and Seattle, Washington. The season’s three specials include “Junk in the Trunk 3,” where viewers will be treated to never-before-seen appraisals from each of the Season 17 cities; “Finders Keepers,” which profiles items that were discovered in the most memorable of ways, and “Survivors,” featuring treasures that survived natural disasters, fires and more! “Vintage Roadshow” episodes, shows from the Roadshow archive featuring updated appraisal information and historical facts, will return for a second season.”
