If you are watching the History Channel, there is a 75% chance that you are watching Modern Marvels. Modern Marvels is an hour long show about everything from engineering disasters to fast food tech to breweries, there is not much that the show doesn’t cover. The show gives you a brief history of the topic, and then they delve into how it’s developed and explains the technology behind it.
It’s an interesting show, but certain topics are more interesting than others. No matter what, you learn a thing or two or seventeen things about whatever subject they are happen to be covering. Who knew that truck stops were so fascinating? There have been over 660 episodes over 18 seasons, so there is bound to be something to tickle your fancy.
Check it out sometime, but there’s no need to set the DVR for this show. It’s interesting but not life changing. If you watch the History Channel, you either watch this show or Ancient Aliens. Modern Marvels will make you slightly smarter. Ancient Aliens will make you paranoid and cost you a few friends.
Expand your mind and kill some time with this show. Ignore the shitty shows like Ancient Aliens and Monster Quest. History Channel, make up your mind if you wanna be smart or superstitious.
