But it would be nice if google play wasn't so expensive. You can buy double pack DVD sets at Walmart two season per set for $10.99

The show's narration is dubbed in several voices, including Indian whereas the original filming is in Quebec, Canada and is produced by Maj Inc. Pretty detailed explanation of how everyday items we see around us gets manufactured. Would love to see how the show itself is made. Do a How It's Made segment of How It's Made.
