How It's Made (2001–2019)
3/10
Good idea, poorly executed
24 August 2006
While this show is fairly interesting and somewhat educational it really misses the point by only showing a superficial view of the manufacturing process. It often skips several key steps or just refers to important processes in passing, without actually showing actually showing HOW they are done, and isn't that the whole point? It also has the problem of oftentimes only showing the final steps off assembly, once all the component parts have already been actually made.

A prime example of this would be the segment on solar panels. The segment *begins* with the solar panel already made and they simply show us the panels being mounted on a backing.

I frequently find that after watching the segments on this show I haven't actually learned anything.

This show could be made better by focusing on fewer topics per show, in greater detail.
