Too bad, the series only lasted two seasons. Everybody involved seemed genuinely interested in the archaeological digs at specific areas in the United States. They're happy to find something to prove their theories. They work with historians, experts, professors, and cultural experts like culinary historians and members of the tribes. They go to the Carolinas, Maryland, Oklahoma, Utah, and other places. I don't really have a favorite episode. You can tell that they're heart and soul in the series. It only lasted two seasons that is on DVD. They changed hosts from Colin Campbell, the artist, to Justine Shapiro, more of a journalist. I don't know which host I liked better. Colin was artist and drew from the experiences.

As a long time fan of the original Channel 4 UK Time Team, the PBS version is poor by comparison. They try to bring a punk flavor to it by using people that look "cool". Too bad. They look very uncool because you know it's the producer's effort to suck up to a youthful audience. The end result is embarrassing ...not to mention that North American archaeology is really boring. And, I mean, really boring.
If you'd like to see a good program about North American archaeology, look up Channel 4 (UK) Time team episode where they dig at Maryland. It was a great show, as was the whole 19 years of that series.
The original Time Team had serious participants. The PBS version has clownish participants and stultifying boring dig results.
