Hazardous History

[Fordup]

Anyone else watching the series Hazardous History with Henry Winkler. Amazing those of us that grew up in the 50s, 60s, and 70s are still alive . We were exposed to dangerous toys, hazardous chemicals, and deadly stunts. Glad I grew up when I did. Brings back memories on every episode.

I haven't heard of it and just looked it up. Looks like a good show and I'll have to go back and start watching it from the beginning. I love watching shows from our time and seeing how much has changed over the years. Some good and many things bad.

Just look at the people in the videos. The women were all natural, no puffy lips, fake boobs, tattoos or piercings and dressed respectfully. It was rare to see obese people back then and now all our food is poisoned with preservatives, additives and high fructose corn syrup. Oh what I'd give to go back in time if even for a day month!

This one's on the Ford Pinto and how it was a Deadly Design with the exploding gas tank.

We have been watching it since the start and enjoy it. Every Sunday at 9 pm EST there is a new segment.

Yeah, been not only watching but re-living/remembering the 50's and 60's. Had a number of the toys and "hobby" stuff from that era.
Chem sets, Erector sets with raw metal edges that constantly cut you, Mattel toy rifles that shot plastic bullets at BB gun velocities, real fireworks that could be bought anywhere.....
And, even owned two Pinto's in the 70's !!!!!
Somehow I survived.....still alive n kicking !!!!

I just recorded an episode of this, called Harrowing Highways and I'm watching it now. This is not only very interesting to me, but it is also educational. In other words, this series now has my attention.

Last night's was another good episode. Wonder how many of us have brain damage from our moms smoking and drinking during pregnancy .

Blessed that my parents didn't smoke, and were only light social drinkers. I followed in their footsteps when it came to tobacco, only smoked 4 when I was 14, and never again. Drinking was another story. But the days of heavy drinking are long gone, just a light social drinker now.
Going to check out the Henry Winkler show though. Sounds right up my alley. High school in the 70's, girls didn't need to show skin to showcase how hot they were. Loved the fashion of those years. Sweaters, tube tops etc.
