Como é Possível?

A++ This show is amazing! It's been on the air for 6 years already and I never miss a show. You always learn something new. It's extremely informative and very interesting. Every episode shows how 4 different products are made. The show is not full of complicated explanations that only industry people can understand. It's written in laymen's terms so it's a show that the whole family can enjoy watching together. At this time, there are 7 seasons airing on the Discovery Channel. The first season was hosted by Mark Tewksbury but subsequent seasons were without a host. An off-screen narrative replaced the on-screen host. I prefer the version with the off-screen narrative. Well worth watching!

Who would think a show about making bicycles or ice cream could be so captivating? No matter what the subject matter is, I'm glued to the TV. Maybe it's subliminal messages or hypnosis, or maybe it's just brilliant programming. Watch for yourself and decide.

I think those who are critiquing the lack of intimate details aren't paying attention to the idea of patent infringement. This show gives a great overview of the making of everyday objects we take for granted. From CDs to barstools...even beer! My oldest son was mesmerized by the wine making episode and has become a fount of information, lol. I love to watch this show with my kids!

My only critique is that the voice over is occasionally too bland; other than that, its terrific! If you are a fan of learning, you will probably enjoy this show.

Give it a try; if its not for you, no worries. But perhaps your children might enjoy it, so let them give it a shot!

I was wondering how some of the things featured in this series was made. Then I found this series, and learned how they're actually made. Showing how things are made on video is ideal way to learn how it's done. The show keeps it short and sweet - just perfect for us laymen to get the information we need.

I can think of at least a dozen episodes of exact items I wanted to learn how they're made, like drill bits, sugar, salt, ham, soy sauce, tofu, rum, needles, gears, magnets, bike chains, injection molds, batteries, and coffee. There's no other series that you can pick up so much information in one place, and the producer did an excellent job of compiling, and presenting the information in an entertaining way. Some episodes gave great overview for the kind of manufacturing that needs to be setup for a new business, which the information would have been difficult to obtain otherwise.

I rate this one of the best educational series on television along with Anthony Boudain's "No Reservations". I'm eternally grateful to the producers of this show for producing such an informative show.

The wide variety of the many excellent shows give an interesting view of your everyday products from the factory to your uses, each segment gives a detailed view on how it all goes down. As one of the very popular shows on The Science Channel and Discovery Channel, many people learn about the complex techniques and processes used to produce ordinary and extraordinary products. Most segments teach everyone watching a interesting process. The music is also great, accompanying the narration , I always jam to the background, even in the most uninteresting (to me) segments, there is always something good on in How It's Made.
