Tracing celebrity family trees doesn't bear much fruit

Genealogy gets some celebrity cache in "Who Do You Think You Are," premiering tonight on NBC at 8.

Each week show tracks the family history of a celebrity. The seven are: Matthew Broderick, Lisa Kudrow (who produced the show), Spike Lee, Sarah Jessica Parker, Susan Sarandon, Brooke Shields and Emmitt Smith.

Although the show seems a rip-off of "Faces of America," the PBS specials Harvard professor Skip Gates has hosted, it's actually based on a British hit.
