Kids 8+ Would Understand This Well, Not So Much For 7 and Under.
I love this! The reason why I rated this on for 8+ is because I think kids 7 and under might not understand the concept that well.

Ever wondered how gears were made? This is your kind of show!
THIS SHOW IS THE BEST! Whenever I have free time, I look to the Science Channel to find out how everything is made. Similar show are on the air, but this is the best. The only reason I say consumerism is because in some of the episodes (VERY RARELY) they will have the name of the company that makes the product (e.x., on the tuba episode, they showed the King Misic CO.) Sometimes, the company replaces the name of the company with "How it's made". But other than that, IT'S AWESOME!

Awesome and Educational
I disagree with the fact that "Educational Value" is not applicable. I learn something new every time, and so does my dad. It is a very educational show! :)
