I'm addicted to this show. Even the re-runs. I can't stop watching...

Current episode: "Nails and Staples, Safety Glasses, Fabrics, Bicycles"...

I just finished watching "Toothpicks". Who knew?

Haven't seen it, but I love crap like this. Modern Marvels can be pretty cool. Watched the one on the company that supplies most of McDonald's' stuff, here in SoCal. Absolutely fascinating.

I also enjoy this show. Very interesting and it gives me fodder for random conversations.

I love this show. My housemates and I will stop whatever we are doing to watch if this show comes on.

So good!

It's not just the content. Some of it is interesting, some of isn't so much (just watched "Copy Paper" for example).

Something about the format, the guys voice , they way they lead you on to the next segment. The minimal production (I get sick of overproduced TV).

My daughter likes it a lot (and I think was only 4 when they started). She tells me her favorite was when they made a guitar. We submitted for them to show how they make My Little Pony products, but we never got a response. =(

I submitted a request for 'Acoustic Guitar' some time last year. I don't know if it made any difference, but I watched the "Acoustic Guitar" episode last night.

The guitar was an "Art and Lutherie" brand, which is a division of Godin, out of Canada.

I could watch it all day long. I'm pretty sure along with Modern Marvels, it needs its own channel.

The past couple of days, it was on back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to... on SC.

Gimme this show, MythBusters, Dirty Jobs, and Big Bang Theory & I'm a happy ranger!

Really like this show. I know, I know. It's not the usual 'chic' tv.
