How It's Made (2001)
I can watch multiple shows in a row on Discovery
"How It's Made" is one of those shows that you just can't get enough of. Surprisingly, the content transverses all age groups and I would imagine, all educational levels. I see where the show has been in production since 2001, which is 21 years now. There are some shows that should be on for 21 years + 21 more years; and then there are those that should be on for 21 minutes only. This is definitely a 42 year show.
I do have a suggestion for a program. But my first suggestion is to make an area to submit ideas easy to find. Actually, I never found one. Perhaps they are not in production?
Anyway - my suggestion: How are the enormous fan blades made for wind electric turbines? My office is in Vancouver, WA (not Canada, but the State of Washington on the west coast of the USA) and I routinely catch these huge blades going down the street after being made in the Port of Vancouver. They are almost a block long and very wide - require pilot vehicles and two separate flatbed trailers, with a driver in the very back of the last trailer so he can steer around corners.
The blades appear to be one piece of material. I don't see any rivets or sections of metal. These totally fascinate me and I would love to know how they are made.
