KattC-9

What a great show with authentic clips of life here in the United States during the 1900s. As a Baby Boomer, many of the things covered were everyday life as a kid growing up. A really enjoyable trip down memory lane. Interestingly, many of the toys have reached collectable status among Baby Boomers. While watching several episodes with older family members, an incredible irony was brought up. Several episodes covered the dangerous compounds and medical practices that used to be commonplace. These episodes were repeatedly full of modern commercials from big pharma advertising drugs with known side effects ranging from unintended muscle movements, organ failures, allergic reactions, and sometimes death. Could not help but wonder if future episodes will cover the products from the commercials?
