Review by charlieball-54897

Ask This Old House

9/10

"What is it?"

I love this segment just as much as any of the other segments. I think those folks that criticize it were simply born without a sense of humor, or perhaps they're alien or something ( here to determine the status of our technology maybe!). It's supposed to inject some silly levity into the show , as well as inform the watcher as to what the object is and how it's used. I'm fortunate to only be stumped some of the time, I do know what most of them are, mainly because I'm a 74 year old retired woodworker -AND I do try to keep up with newer product developments ( and it's not easy!!! By the way I find I can identify every one of the What Is It items-especially if I've already seen the episode! Isn't that truly amazing???
