It was definitely an awesome show but I hated the interlaced format. Every time they skipped from one section to the next they had to reintroduce it and give a “we got this far” segment; it always felt like the show was at least twice as long as it needed to be.

It’d have been so much better (for me at least) if they just focussed on one thing at a time from start to end, especially when one of the experiments was fairly gruesome exploding bits of dead pig or whatever, you could skip over that in its entirety.

But maybe the show was aimed at people with the attention span of a ferret.

goodness i remember being a little nerd and getting so excited when a new episode of How it’s Made dropped. i still love it of course, but the child me adored it

We’ve had Mythbusters playing on loop in our office for a couple months now, idk why we hadn’t thought of How It’s Made yet, that’s definitely next
