I watched the clip of Mr. King on "Finding Your Roots." I was curious if that was filmed at King's home, or if that is a special library, perhaps at Harvard, that Mr. Gates' uses for his research? I have never seen the show, but have heard of it. Seems interesting.

I don't know the answer to your question but I am excited to see this! I have been waiting since Ms. Mod mentioned it a while ago. 
We are big into genealogy in my family and it will be cool to see what SK finds out about his ancestors.

It was filmed in Florida but I wasn't there at the time and haven't seen the full episode so don't know the specific places where they filmed.
That clip made me tear up a little. It was very heartwarming to see SK get some history on his paternal side he could be proud of-he looked genuinely touched.
...finding my boots?....well hell, there they are-at the end of me feet...
I just found out that we get a version of PBS over here (it's PBS America content, but what they seem to think we'd be interested in).
I saw that the first season of 'Finding Your Roots' ('Finding Your Roonts'?
) was broadcast in April - though whether that was 2013 or 2014, it doesn't say.
If the former, season 2 should begin to air sometime next spring. If the latter, it looks like it might take until 2016 before I see SK's ep.

This is so good Rrty - thanks for bringing this up. I did find a short clip on line and here is a link:
Stephen King's Progressive Past | Finding Your Roots | PBS
Hey Mr Nobody - I hope the clip comes up. We get PBS up here in Canada but I will probably have to wait until 2015 to see this episode.
And i will probably never see it.. Grumble, grumble . But just you wait i will huff and i will puff until the house blows down. Grumble....
Hopefully it will be posted on here at some point. Marsha can use her Super Powers!!!!
Fingers crossed. Sometimes, though, it's like being back in the '80s. You know that thing where people thought that what North Americans do today, we will be doing in 3-5 years' time? There was a reason for that.
I dunno...maybe someone ought to invent quicker communications devices. We could put them in space, maybe call them..."satellites". Or maybe have something on the ground, something that could transmit a lot of data, very quickly...with lots of interconnected, erm, 'servers' that would form...a web...
If you can access You Tube-- many of last season shows are available there, so there could be hope that in the future the SK episode would be available also.
Thanks, didn't think of that.
Bumping this back up as it will be aired tomorrow night (23rd) on PBS.

Yippee!!!!! Saw the listing in the TV guide yesterday and wondered if it would be this episode! I believe it said it was the start of the season?
Yay! I didn't know about this! Thanks for bumping it up. Setting my phone to remind me to set the DVR when I get home tonight. This will be something to keep!
That's right, this is the first show of their new season. It also has Courtney J. Vance and Gloria Reuben on this episode. The theme is In Search of our Fathers.
Tonight at 8p E.S.T. on Georgia Public Broadcasting on my cable network.
