Reviews

michaelsfields Unfortunately, the program producers have recently jumped onto the "let's make it look like film instead of video" bandwagon. Consequently, sharpness and detail of the video image are greatly reduced, making it, for me, unwatchable. I was a huge fan of the program and have saved onto my DVR every episode ever produced. I'm so disappointed.

ebiros2 I was wondering how some of the things featured in this series was made. Then I found this series, and learned how they're actually made. Showing how things are made on video is ideal way to learn how it's done. The show keeps it short and sweet - just perfect for us laymen to get the information we need.I can think of at least a dozen episodes of exact items I wanted to learn how they're made, like drill bits, sugar, salt, ham, soy sauce, tofu, rum, needles, gears, magnets, bike chains, injection molds, batteries, and coffee. There's no other series that you can pick up so much information in one place, and the producer did an excellent job of compiling, and presenting the information in an entertaining way. Some episodes gave great overview for the kind of manufacturing that needs to be setup for a new business, which the information would have been difficult to obtain otherwise.I rate this one of the best educational series on television along with Anthony Boudain's "No Reservations". I'm eternally grateful to the producers of this show for producing such an informative show.

Dan Sist I can't get enough of this show. The simple, straightforward delivery really allows the viewer to focus on the manufacturing processes without dealing with any drama or attempts at humor.My kids thought it was boring at first, but they are now "addicted" to the show. VERY educational. I only hope the show keeps its current format and does not switch to a flashier one as the show's popularity grows.I have seen shows on the manufacturing of everything from Cricket bats to vinyl records disks and dinosaur skeleton reproductions. If you are curious about the fabrication process involved in the manufacturing of everyday devices, you will also find "How it's Made" hard to turn off.

sias-programming This is a spectacular show. It is always interesting to see how ordinary products and tools are made. Plus we never suspect how they're assembled either. Most learning shows I've seen aren't very interesting, but this show keeps my attention and my interest. They explain everything at a nice pace and show almost every step in the process. This is great since you don't just have a narrated representation but more of a visual representation. I like how they explain the assembly in layman's terms so viewers have an easier time understanding how things are made. They also explain the terms used in the industries so it isn't completely dumbed down. I kind of thought they might run out of things that would be made since they show so many per episode. This show is really great and it'll be sure to keep you interested and wanting to watch more.
