Television: Another gen show in development

Variety.com reported on a reality show that will follow the stories of people desperate to find a long-lost friend or relative.

In development at ABC, it could be considered a genealogy show. Read more of the story.

"Find My Family" - a Dutch show now a big hit down under in Australia - follows the stories of people desperate to find a long-lost friend or relative.

Cameras roll as the show's participants reveal what happened to their relationship -- and are there when the people are reunited.

"It's big emotions, and we don't even have to give out a free house or a million bucks," he said.

It's good-for-the-soul TV, showing people who are missing a piece of their life and bringing them back to the brother they never knew they had or the mother they're been looking for."
Co-hosts Tim Green and Lisa Joyner have their own personal histories, according to the story. Both were adopted and eventually found their birth parents.

  2. :-) Green and Joyner are just the co-hosts. There's a whole staff of researchers behind them!
