In this four-part documentary series, leading Hollywood actors undertake a fascinating journey into their family's past by re-tracing the footsteps of their grandparents during World War Two.

Reviews on the Run and "Reviews on the Rock" in the earlier seasons of the Electric Playground is a video game review TV show hosted by Victor Lucas and Scott C. Jones. The show is produced by Lucas' company Greedy Productions. The two hosts rate games independently on a scale of .5 point increments from 0 through 10, with 0 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. As of 2013, Reviews on the Run airs in Canada on G4 Canada and City, with pre-2006 episodes airing on G4 in the United States.

The show is filmed over the course of several hours and later edited to fit the show's thirty minute time frame.
