Well, stupid PBS. When a handsome couple with a phenomenally adorable baby offers you a chance to put them on your program, you should do it. You're PBS! Aren't you trying to lower your demographic so your viewers don't die off take their pledges with them? What better way to attract young viewers to your programming than to show a young couple and their child--the new generation of antique collectors? What better way than to air the footage you have of a cute family displaying their family treasures--including their child, clearly the most valuable family treasure at the roadshow that day??
Fie on PBS. You never had my pledges, and you never will.
Here's what we said, and it may be cheesy, but please admit that it was better than what so many others had to offer:
"I'm Abe..."
"And I'm Cori...and these silver treasures that we brought with us aren't worth very much, but this tiny treasure [holding up the phenomenally adorable child] is priceless."
Now, seriously, if you were the producer of the show, how could you not put that on? It's 10 seconds of cuteness! Surely you can bump the old lady with the worthless horse doorstop to show a baby human of inestimable value.
Dumb PBS. Your next educational program could be on the tragedy of missed opportunities. We will be available for taping, should you so desire.

I actually watched a bit of this last night (all the while scanning the crowd) - you were robbed.
Also, the horse stained glass piece was FUGLY; and the hutch/washbasin thing was America's first Transformer, and should be priceless.
