How It’s Made
I figured since I just disparaged my kids in my previous Monev The Gale post that I would bolster their image a bit. If you were to ask either of the twins what their favorite TV show was they would probably either answer “Crabs” or “How It’s Made”. “Crabs” refers to Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel which is the name I gave it when I introduced them to the show last year. They watch it with me and root for Sig and Phil with me. I love that they love “Crabs” simply because I love it. Now if only I could get them to eat crab legs with me…
How It’s Made is, in my humble opinion, one of the most fascinating shows on TV. It is put out by those wiley Canadians and I think it is kind of old because it has the most awful graphics within the program and during the credits (with the exception of the cool line drawings that they use to illustrate certain concepts when introducing a new segment). To sum it up, manufacturing machines are insanely cool and I am always asking myself what kind of machine built that machine that is building those things. It is simple enough to remain entertaining to my two boys. Keep in mind, they are five years old. Having had these kids in basketball and T-ball has revealed that while they are both tall and have an athletic build for their age, perhaps they are more apt to become intellectuals than athletes. Of course if I ever get around to creating my Sig Hansen fan website and that catches their attention, they will just grow up to be a dork like their father.

Dude… just last night I was watching how its made… or something very similiar. I couldn’t stop talking about how the machines are the most facinating part and how they need to do a show about how the machines are made. Great minds think alike. But really I want to see the teams that concept, engineer and build the production lines. How long does it take, how much does it cost etc. It’s amazing to me. I could watch those shows forever.
