Making It

This show is very family friendly and enjoyable. However, the judges are so annoying and unbelievably boring I almost gave it a 4. The hosts make up for the judges inability to warm up to the audience. One makes ugly store front displays and the other's career is based on trends. How pathetic. They needed judges with real knowledge about home crafting. Amy and Nick are so entertaining I can almost forgive the others. Keep the show going with new judges.

Love Amy Poehler and NickOfferman! Enjoy the crafting, BUT do not like the judges. Ugh! Snobbish and they just squash any homey feeling that Amy and Nick bring to the show. Has potential, but could be so much better.

I'm loving this show it's a lot of fun and they couldn't have chosen better presenters. That being said I do have one problem: the judge Dayna Isom Johnson is useless, she seems to be there just to mention etsy as many times as she possibly can (it's like she's been given a challenge to win a prize or something) I'm not even sure what qualifies her to be a judge cos to be honest any idiot can pick junk to sell on a website! But it does allow for a drinking game though I suppose: drink every time she mentions etsy.

I never write reviews but the editing of this show bothered me so much I had to comment. I like Amy & Nick. They're funny without taking the spotlight. And the "makers" or crafters are (mostly) very talented & varied. But if you're someone watching who likes crafts, then you want to actually see the techniques people use to make things and then actually SEE the finished product. The quick edits don't allow for you to see any of this! Which is the entire point of the show. It's not an action movie. The editor needs to watch some cooking shows or some popular youtube crafters.

You *won't* be inspired, or learn anything - there's no time spent on demonstrating how the contestants are fabricating items.

Most of the time is spent on dialogue, especially between the hosts.

Fail!
