When I had stomach flu in May it was the only thing I could watch that I was nearly 100% sure wouldn't have food commercials in. Plus, I'm a geek: when I was a kid my favorite part of Sesame Street was when they took us to the crayon factory or the peanut butter plant. Thanks to this show I now know why my "reclining chair" creaks the way it does when I open the footrest. I love “How it’s made”!

It's a staple on all my TiVo's. I keep a stock. It's great when I need 10-15 mins of something. One of the best ones I ever saw was how they make milk! You are nearly old enough to remember Industry on Parade which was one of my favorite TV shows as a kid. They took you into a factory and gave you a tour. I was fascinated. I LOVE that show!

I'll keep an ear out for the narrator. The mechanics were fascinating and the segments are short enough. Ted: Heh. I’ll keep an ear out for the narrator.

There are two hosts- one is a woman who does a pretty poor job, the other one is Mark Tewksbury, a thick-necked Olympic swimmer who has less personality than cardboard. We are addicted, a bit like watching a bad movie. Still, that's my favorite part of life- figuring out how things are made or done.

I've seen that show a couple times. I think there are a lot of clips from it on YouTube and whatnot... You might want to check out some of those. By the way, I tagged you for a blog meme where you have to share eight random things about yourself. :) I know I tagged you for one just like that a while ago, so of course it's optional.
