Owner's Manual is an American reality television series that airs on AMC and premiered on August 15, 2013.[1] Announced in November 2012, the series' first season consists of eight, half-hour episodes.[2] Owner's Manual tests whether it is best to read the included owner’s manual or not by representing each side of the divide in a weekly challenge. Ed Sanders and Marcus Hunt attempt to operate machinery and technology each week with one man working strictly from the manual and the other using his instincts.[3]
