I watched Lider TV many times when I was a kid, it was fun when I was a kid, I don't know if it would be fun if I watched it now.

So horrible...

The first season of this show was decent, as a kind of knock off of 'How It's Made', but the second season dropped horribly in quality when they went from the production and history of various commodities to holidays and weather.
I wanted to bang my head into a wall with all the dubious, often specious or blatantly wrong conclusions about how something was pivotal in creating or guiding the outcome of something else entirely. Many things declared as fact were merely speculation or apocryphal, with no consensus among experts. And basically every Christmas connection was silly or so tenuous as to be ridiculous and one wonders why it was included at all.
Watch the show up to the episode 'Steel' and then stop. Even if the five final episodes might have some interesting kernels of truth it is not worth sorting them from the chaff.

Warning: Spoilers
The series is good up until season 2 episode 8 (according to Netflix) or season 2 episode 1 (according to IMDb) titled "How Summer Changed the World" when it was radically retooled.
Prior to this episode, they highlight the functionality and origin of tangible items, such as aluminum, corn, and iron with an actual educational tone.
This episode and beyond, they started highlighting how stuff changed the world, such as summer and whiskey with a less educational, more comical approach by including lame graphics with over-dramatic over-modulated voice-overs. It's almost as if they changed their target demographic to three to five year olds.
