The wait is over for fans of Antiques Roadshow who’ve been patiently waiting to see Louisiana featured on the beloved series. Louisiana Public Broadcasting Programming Director Jason Viso said besides seeing how distinctive items from the Bayou State appraise, the LSU Rural Life Museum in Baton Rouge is also featured.
“Obviously very iconic in a lot of ways, very beautiful scenery and really undiscovered by many people,” said Viso.
The first of three episodes filmed May 2, 2023, will air Monday, February 19th at 7 pm, then an encore of Episode One the following Monday along with a Behind the Scenes of Antiques Roadshow special. Viso said it’s an exclusive treat for fans of the most-watched-ongoing PBS series.
“You’ll get a chance to see two or three people that we followed along the journey and what it was like to actually go through that process of is it a real find,” said Viso.
Episode Two will air on March 11th and Episode Three on March 25th.
Viso said if you’ve never watched the show, participants bring an array of antiques, collectibles, family heirlooms, and even sports memorabilia to be appraised by experts. He said you can always count on Louisiana episodes to be colorful and unique.
“It’s an unbelievably fun show and I think viewers who tune in will enjoy the experience and get a chance potentially to see some really cool finds from our state,” said Viso.
