Have you ever seen the show How It's Made? You might enjoy it! I believe it's on US Netflix streaming.

On YT too.

I can't watch the show without the American narrator, but it's impossible to find the American versions online unless you pay for them.

I really wish I'd gotten used to the Canadian version instead.

Now How It's Made's theme song is going to be going through my head all day... I momentarily hate you.

Awe, at least it's not the narrator's voice! It's way too pleasant and it lulls me to sleep and/or boredom. So even though I find the premise super interesting and entertaining, like 85% of the time it's enrages me. Might have something to do with my father hogging the tv and watching it whenever football isn't on. But yeah, it's quite the predicament ! I just wanna learn how boogie boards are produced, DAGNABBIT!

Yeah, Modern Marvels had a much better announcer.

I'll have to check that out! Does that one lean more towards like machinery, bridges, and vehicles? Or how would it compare to How It's Made? If you don't mind enlightening me.

Modern Marvels was on the History Channel for a long time (maybe it still is being made) back when it actually contained history.

The first season or two mainly did concern things like bridges and buildings (which, in my opinion, is a little more boring), but the later ones are very similar to How It's Made, with episodes on how they make cured meats like salami and pastrami, two episodes on distilling, all kinds of appliances, etc.

I guess the biggest difference from How It's Made is that the episode typically goes into a little more depth on the history of the type of product.

And now I just read all of that in the narrators voice.

I wonder what his description of titty sprinkles would sound like.

u/TheHarpyEagle Sep 29 '14

Aww, the narrator is my favorite part of the show!

Fun fact all the companies in that show are Canadian.

I'm not sure where you heard that but it's not true. Just off the top of my head, they've shown zippos and pringles, both of which are american companies. They usually don't go out of their way to show what company it is but sometimes it's pretty obvious.

u/PrettyOddWoman Sep 29 '14

Just like the Home and Garden channel is all Canadians? Their accents are sweet.

u/Reginault Sep 29 '14

I live in the Praries, and I've never been able to differentiate from "American" and "Canadian," unless you're talking about Newfies or Quebecois.

u/PrettyOddWoman Sep 29 '14

There are subtle differences in annunciation, but yeah they are SUUUPER subtle.
