The Toys That Built America

"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.

"The Toys that Built America" a limited "History Channel" doc series looks at the past inventions of some of the most famous and popular toys of all time. The series is educational, interesting, and informative too showing the inventions and how many toys icons like Milton Bradley, Parker Brothers, and many others got ideals to start toys that kids would love. Really it brings back memories of the past and takes one back in time a historical treat of being a kid and remembering toys. If you love old toys and history and want to know about their famous inventors then you will love this series.

Educational, informative and enjoyable to watch .

Learning plenty of the History of Toys, the business and the people who never gave up on their dreams... As Mr. WONDERFUL from "Dragon's DEN" & "Shark Tank" says... Every failure is 1 step closer to SUCCES$$

Ohhh I must add that MIRANDA playing "RUTH HANDLER" Barbie fame,, is absolutely STUNNING !😁👍🏻
