"The Toys That Made Us" is a great series that has been on Netflix for a few years. But the problem is that no matter how good it is, they simply didn't make enough episodes and I was hoping for more. However, instead of them making more, the History Channel essentially 'borrowed' the idea and made a bunch of episodes of their own. The two shows are so similar that I assume many folks think they are one in the same.
I enjoy both shows very much and I have only one complaint about "The Toys That Built America". A few of the commentators (in particular Adam Richman) talk about the toys...yet they seem to have no particular training or education or background to be 'experts' on the subject. I can only assume a few of these non-experts were used because The History Channel could get them cheaply. Still, this is only a minor complaint...and the show is well worth seeing.
