There’s another cool show on the Discovery Channel that I need to recommend. While Mythbusters is one of my favorite shows, this one is just about as good. It doesn’t have as much personality as Mythbusters, but it’s always really interesting. It’s called “How It’s Made.” Okay, technically, it’s on the Science Channel, but that’s just a subdivision of the Discovery Channel.

What’s so interesting is that they take you behind the scenes and show you how common, everyday objects are made (go figure!). Each episode covers four different things. Some of my favorite episodes have been about buttons, breakfast cereal, trombones, bread, holograms, and canned corn. :-)

You can watch a few of their features in their online video gallery (watch the bread one!). And here’s the Episode Guide.

(Another new favorite is “Dirty Jobs,” but that’s a topic for a later post.)
