Hosted by the iconic 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.
