A remake of the groundbreaking television miniseries "Roots" is in the works at the History network.
The network said Tuesday that it had reached a deal with Mark Wolper, whose father, David, made the 1977 "Roots" miniseries, to acquire the rights to remake it. The project is in development, meaning there's a possibility it won't be made, but the commitment makes it likely the new series will appear some time in 2015.
The first "Roots" series was a television sensation, gripping the country with its story of generations of a slave family.

They also had a show on the history of Root Beer. You have all sorts of drinks made from the roots of plants...birch beer, sassafras, ginger drinks...it is mind boggling.
Roots can be a fascinating subject.
