Rating: DOCQ=6, DOCP=5 / Quite Legible
Scale K=2, Scale L=4, Scale M=3, Scale N=2

TV series, Documentary, Toys

What a great concept! I've always been interested in the "history of" or "making of" genre. While this is a TV series, it's much more documentary so I've used that rating scale.

Episodes in the first season are: Star Wars, Barbie, He-Man, and GI Joe. Even though I didn't play with any of these toys except Barbies, I found them all really interesting and fun. In fact, Barbie was my least favorite!

The Toys That Made Us Season 2 (Tom Stern and Brian Volk-Weiss, 2017-2018)

Rating: DOCQ=5, DOCP=5 / Quite Legible
Scale K=2, Scale L=3, Scale M=3, Scale N=2

Episodes in the second season are: Star Trek, Transformers, LEGO, and Hello Kitty. I found all of these very interesting--especially Transformers. And I learned so much about Japanese kawaii culture from the Hello Kitty episode.
