Many of us are extremely disappointed with the removal of narrator Brooks Moore from The Science Channel / Discovery Channel program "How It's Made."
We feel that the show is simply not the same anymore. It's not as entertaining, interesting, or captivating. We want Brooks Moore back as narrator. We're angry, and many of us are not watching the new shows.
Bring back Brooks Moore!!!

Bring back Brooks More. The show is just not the same without him. It's almost like having someone else host Dirty Jobs other than Mike Rowe, it just doesn't work.

I have a new idea for your show. Its "Kick Ass Narrarators", and its about Brooks Moore, not this farce of a script reader your currently employing.

I have a group of friends who get together to watch How It's Made in our free time. Today we immediately noticed that something had dramatically changed in one of our favorite programs. The silky smooth narration of Brooks Moore had been replaced with the nasaly Amber Boch guy??!? Neither rich, nor smooth. My friends and I are trying to identify another show to watch on our lunch hour and other free times, something not on Discovery. Perhaps we'll tune into Mr. Rodgers to see the How It's Made segments that you stole the idea from in the first place.
Fix this.

Even my 2nd-grade son recognizes Brooks' voice from the old episodes. He's awesome. And then all the sudden, Boom! He's gone! What the hell? Do the producers think this new guy has any flair? I don't know if he quit, or was fired, or got a new job, or asked for more money. I don't care if Brooks unleashed a virus into the director's computer (or the production assistant's wife - just kidding!) or whatever reason he's not there, just pay what you have to to bring him back. Otherwise, you might as well sign up Ted McGinley, as this show has officially Jumped the Shark.

Totally agree! Brooks IS 'How it's made'. What happened? Did the owners save a few bucks with this new guy? Well, they got what they paid for.
He's not even close to Brook's talent. Who's next, the guy from Modern Marvels?

I have read many times that the Brooks T. Moore sounds like Mike Rowe, a statement I agree with. If discovery had any idea how lucky they got with Mike they would understand the value of Mr. Moore. Return Brooks T. Moore to How Its Made.

When I first saw this show I LOVED the format, it was so raw, matter of fact. I thought "This is a show about how stuff is made and that's it! No "fluff", Wow! How cool is that!". Then of course the narrator's voice, SO engaging to the show. He wasn't just saying the words (as "Zac" does), it felt like he was actually explaining the process to ME! When my wife and I would turn to the show we would literally be speechless through each segment until the next commercial except for the occasional "Huh" or "Oh". We were TOTALLY glued to his voice! It's true, no lie!
Now with the new format and "Zac" the new narrator it's just not there anymore. As I said earlier "Zac" just says the words, it doesn't engage us to the show as it used to AT ALL! Currently we've been REALLY trying to give the new format (and "Zac") a chance but it isn't working, the magic is gone...
Then the rest of the format change... background music, loss of "historical origin renderings".. It's too "bubbly" now, it's totally lost that raw format that had such an appeal. Now it's more entertainment than educational, which has put us off as well.
I'm sure there are MANY more people out there that feel the same way. I've discussed this topic with just few of my close friends and family and they totally feel the same way!
Please return one of our most entertaining and engaging shows to the way it was!

Why!? how could you ruin the show like this = (. Before this narrator change, I used to LOVE this show! Now I turn the channel as soon as it comes on. Brooks Moore had such talent; his voice was full and calm, it always got me in the mood to watch the show and genuinely made me happy. PLEASE BRING HIM BACK!!!

"Brooks Moores voice is, to me, the defining element of "How Its Made". The new episodes are flat and totally pedestrian, congratulations on destroying a remarkable bit of media.

Regarding the narrator of HOW IT'S MADE, please PLEASE P L E A S E bring back Brooks. The current narrator is not as good as the previous narrator. Brooks' voice had such expression and class. The new narrator takes away from the show. We do LOVE HOW IT'S MADE !
Thanks so much for this great program.

I find myself changing the channel of my once favourite show, How It's Made, whenever I hear a new episode without Mr. Moore narrating. This looks like someone making the mistake of fixing something that wasn't broken.

Count me among the many who are disappointed with the narrator change. Brooks Moore lent a great deal to the show, and I simply have been unable to adapt to the new narrator. As a result I have stopped watching the new episodes. If Mr. Moore left of his own choosing, and Discovery had no choice but to find a replacement, then please let the viewers know. Until I hear otherwise, I'm done with the show until Brooks returns.

Brooks Moore's voice overs gave "How It's Made" a very distinct character. Without his work, it seems to fall flat, and I find myself turning the channel, something I never did before.
# 207:

I prefer the old narrator to the new one. The old narrator made the show MUCH more interesting; he had a more mature sound and interest in his voice. The new narrator seems like he just reads the script carelessly with no inflection. PLEASE BRING THE OLD NARRATOR BACK!!!

I think the new narrator, Nick Fine sounds like someone they pulled off the street. His lack cadence and unremarkable voice (along with the loss of the cool music) has taken this show from great to blah.
