You know what show I really like? How It's Made. Because sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night and ask myself "How DO they make modern candles?" And then I go turn on the tv and watch a 20 minute mini-documentary on the various candle making processes, from pressing the wax flakes together to more traditional dipping methods, now automated by robots. I'm going to make a drinking game for it- one drink every time "They" do something, two drinks every time a conveyor belt is used, three every time they show human hands within two inches of extremely dangerous machinery, and so on.
Srsly though Man Vs. Wild is alright, but Survivorman is a lot more reminiscent of my scouting days. I mean, neither show is super realistic, but Survivorman at least is taking pains not to get his ass frozen, eaten, or otherwise killed.
I love how seriously the topics for each episode are, with no common theme between them. It's like they just pick em out of a hat, which probably saves time I suppose.

What gets me is how everything, everything is heavily machined these days. The only one I've ever seen that was actually a manual process was (oddly enough) neon signs/marbles, which is all glass blowing and skill. I'm just waiting for an episode on whatever machine makes those paintings you find at wal-mart. Or the machine that makes Archie comics.

I always like to see how they make instruments, because that's all mostly hand-made still. Except fucking bag-pipes.
