Hazardous History with Henry Winkler
Channel: HISTORY (DStv 186)
TX Time: 19h25
Genre: Documentary Series, History
There was a time, not long ago, when we drank Coca-Cola that was laced with actual cocaine.
We smoked everywhere, from airplanes to the doctor's office.
And ignorance was bliss.
Hosted by Henry Winkler, 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 actually 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.
Fast-paced, informative and a little bit scary - from perilous playgrounds to precarious products, it's a running cavalcade of the most exciting, reckless, unsupervised tales of Americana in our history.
In the series premiere, "Perilous Play": Remember when childhood came with a side of danger?
Think back to the outrageous toys and daredevil playground antics that once defined growing up, as we uncover (literally) explosive science kits, high-flying kite tubes, and more.
