Who would think a show about making bicycles or ice cream could be so captivating? No matter what the subject matter is, I'm glued to the TV. Maybe it's subliminal messages or hypnosis, or maybe it's just brilliant programming. Watch for yourself and decide.

Hi, I love this show...I watch it every day.....There is one show I would like to see and that is......make some shows to show how the machines are made to make the products......For instance....You always show how crackers are made but we have never seen a show to see how the cracker machine is made....That would be very interesting....Thanx for listening

What a joy it is to walk into the living room in the morning and see the kids watching something educational, ON THEIR OWN! Not only that, but I actually enjoy sitting with them and watching too because it's so interesting. We store multiple episodes on TiVo, read the descriptions, and decide which products we'd like to learn about. In this day and age we take everything for granted but How It's Made does a great job of taking everyday products and making the story of their creation interesting. I will never take cornflakes for granted now that I know what they go through. Ditto fire extinguishers and Wellingtons. But most important, I absolutely love the fact that my kids would rather watch this than cartoons.

This could have been such a good show, but is executed so poorly it is instead the electronic equivalent of Sominex. With a droning narration and no background info or real insight into the subjects covered, it is a total waste of an opportunity to truly bring these subjects to life on TV.Sure, it does have some interesting subjects, but "How It's Made" shows them in such a bland and boring way that it's a chore to watch an entire episode. This show is such a waste. It could be sooooo much better by showing fewer subjects in more detail and without the droning voice-over.A little depth would go a long way.
