I have really enjoyed this show. Gets better each episode. I love the hosts (they are hilarious!) and I also like the judges (don't understand why people are slamming the judges). Love how the contestants are so nice to each other. Love seeing their creations. Hope there will be more seasons!
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.
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!

"Making It" is a very frustrating show to watch. While I enjoy watching Amy Pohler and Nick Offerman as well as the contestants and their fine work, the program has one huge problem that make me unsure if I'll watch a season 3 if it ever is made. The problem is the god-awful judges. They are really annoying people in so many ways. One loves to mention Etsy repeatedly....and we know they are a sponsor, but PLEASE enough already. Second, they seem really, really annoying...unlike everyone else on the show. Likable they are not! Third, their choices of the best and worst crafting projects seem almost arbitrary...or perhaps are intended to favor mommy bloggers....preferring them over more obviously talented folks. Because of that, I found so many choices the judges made truly bizarre and frustrating....and this is a HUGE part of the show. With likable and consistent judges, I might rate this show an 8 or 9...perhaps even a 10. The idea is good....but some retooling is really necessary to make it a great show. So, if you are associated with the program, I hope you read this and consider that perhaps your show could do better choosing judges who seem to have talent and likability...like Offerman and Pohler, the hosts.
By the way, I found it really weird that one of the judges who is supposed to be a god among interior decorators had no idea WHAT or WHO Chippendale was (I am NOT referring to the dancers!). I am no interior decorator but know about Thomas Chippendale and know about his impact on furniture centuries ago...impact you can still see today.

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.
