    unknowingly played with radioactive toys, flew down slides that ripped
    our skin off, and decorated our Christmas tree with ornaments made from asbestos. Eight episodes.

    History Channel)

    Each 60-minute episode of this nostalgia-drenched series tells the
    stories of the things we did for fun, for money, or out of plain boredom that you can't do anymore. Pastimes, practices, and products that were
    once allowed, even encouraged, which you will never see again in modern America. There was a time, not long ago, when doctors would recommend smoking, and when we stored our food in toxic refrigerators, and
    unknowingly played with radioactive toys, flew down slides that ripped
    our skin off, and decorated our Christmas tree with ornaments made from asbestos. Eight episodes.

    Remember when the History Channel used to run good stuff?!

    Better than last week! At least there's a decent Tubi Original in here!

    Is this the conservative one that BTR likes, or is that someone else?...

    No, she's hard left and talks mostly about her vagina and how many sex
