TV Tonight: Reruns By Any Other Name
By Nick Carter
(Friday, June 13th, 2008) We can’t for the life of us imagine who thought remixing the prolifically rerun series How It’s Made was a good idea. You’ve already seen every episode 1,000 times — would you really want to watch episodes that are all about the same topic? We have the feeling Discovery has forgotten how many similar shows they have: How It’s Made, How Do They Do It?, Factory Made, Cool Stuff: How It Works. There are probably some others we’ve forgotten…
All times are central.
- How It’s Made: Fiberglass Insulation, Wooden Ducks, Gumball Machines, Exhaust Systems (Discovery, 6:00 p.m.)
- How It’s Made: Suits of Armor, Street Light Poles, Bent Hardwood, Membrane Switches (Discovery, 6:30 p.m.)
- Cool Stuff: How It Works (Science, 7:00 p.m.)
- Cool Stuff: How It Works (Science, 7:30 p.m.)
- Hammered With John & Jimmy DiResta: The Garden Fountain (DIY, 8:00 p.m.)
- Ice Road Truckers: Edge of the Earth (History, 8:00 p.m.)
- How It’s Made: Remix: Food (Science, 8:00 p.m.)
- Wood Works: Butcher-Block Table (DIY, 8:30 p.m.)
- How It’s Made: Steel Wool, Ranges, Carved Candles, Slot Machines (Science, 8:30 p.m.)
- Wood Works: Contemporary Dining Chair (DIY, 9:00 p.m.)
- New Yankee Workshop: Sheep Shearing Coffee Table (DIY, 9:30 p.m.)
- Forge and Anvil: Blacksmith Basics. Episode 102 (RFD-TV, 10:00 p.m.)
Enjoy.
