Spirogyra posted:But How It's Made drives me into an inexplicable rage. Also, maybe it's because of my predilection toward electronic music in general, but I like the music on that show. Martytoof posted:Now How It's Made is completely different. For some reason I can watch the same episodes over and over (and they sure do seem to play that "snowboards" episode a loving lot) but I never really get tired of it. Contrary to Mythbusters, I can come home, find 3 or 4 episodes that I've seen a hundred times before and just chill out watching them back to back. Plus, every time I catch an episode I haven't seen in a while it's like a special little surprise fake edit: I haven't seen Episodes 5, 9, 13, 19, 20, 29, 30, 32, 34, 39, 43, 44, 45, 48, 50, 51, 60, 64, 92, 94, 99, 102, or 103, so I've seen less than 80% of the series: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_It%27s_Made I must comment on how amazing it is when the same issue is covered in more than one Discovery Channel show, like when both How It's Made and Dirty Jobs dealt with quarrying and tire recycling, or when the latter dealt with cheesemaking and the former with cheese and butter making (along with the extraction of buttermilk), or when the latter dealt with sugarcane harvesting and the former with making sugar and molasses from it; I think some inadvertent synergy like this also happened with Mythbusters, like when both shows did something about cement. For those of us who enjoy How It's Made more than anything, on weekdays when there isn't a marathon of some sort, the first thing to air after infomercials is an hour of How It's Made, which gets repeated at 5PM, and another hour block airs at noon and again at 7PM. The show also gets some airtime during the weekend. Oh yeah, I have to echo the hatred of A Haunting and annoyance with Really Big Things, and I don't think Build It Bigger will be such a hit either.

I almost forgot another instance of "inadvertent synergy": I just saw an episode of How It's Made about printing (packages), and I remembered an episode of Dirty Jobs about printing (posters). I kinda wish I could catch an episode of Best Evidence, but it doesn't air again until 29 August at 1PM.

^However, it did inspire the "Shark Week" on the forums! TheChirurgeon posted:There's going to be 4 weeks of new Dirty Jobs, and then another new ep a week or two after that, and 5 weeks of new eps of Mythbusters, both starting next week.
