Starting this week, there’s a new adventure for treasure seekers on Monday nights: Market Warriors, from the producers of Antiques Roadshow. Viewers will get to know four antiques pickers and see them fiercely compete for the highest total profit at auctions—and the very funny Fred Willard (of Best in Show fame) will serve as off-screen host, offering wry commentary throughout the show.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our recent eNews survey! We’ll report the results in the next eNews.
