- When A Newborn Baby Was Tormented For ScienceE1
When A Newborn Baby Was Tormented For ScienceIn 1920, John B. Watson, a renowned psychologist, and Rosalie Rayner, his assistant and eventual wife, decided to combine love, science, and a fair bit of cluelessness in an experiment that would go down in history as “The Little Albert Experiment.” The idea was bold, the execution debatable, and the results as ethically murky as a midsummer mud puddle. Thus, in a story one might mistake for the beginning of a Dickensian epic, Little Albert’s fate was sealed. - The Unexpected History Of MidwivesE2
The Unexpected History Of MidwivesWhile no two births are quite the same, everyone enters the world the same basic way - someone cries, someone else yells, and a third person tries to remember where the towels are. Amid this flurry of chaos, there exists an age-old profession - midwifery. You’d think helping parents bring their children into this world would be considered a noble pursuit. But being a midwife has never been simple. They were lauded as heroes in one century, persecuted as witches in the next, and are still given the occasional side-eye today. - All Of The Ways The Ocean Can Kill YouE3

All The Strange Things Found In Queen Victoria’s CoffinDespite the fact that she was quite tiny, Queen Victoria looms large over most of the 19th century. She was every bit a woman of her time, engaging in the overblown sentimentality and culture of death so pervasive during the age that bears her name.

There are, indeed, a number of strange Queen Victoria death facts worth exploring. - Horrifying Things We Used To Use As MedicineE5
Horrifying Things We Used To Use As MedicineIt’s hard to imagine a world where illnesses were treated with things like rushing currents or leeches, but not so long ago, that was the case.

King Edward VII: The Scandalous Life of Queen Victoria’s SonKnown as the son and successor of Queen Victoria, a monarch famed for her devotion to Prince Albert and a reputation for Victorian rigidity, King Edward VII might seem an unlikely troublemaker. But "Bertie" proved otherwise! From scandalous affairs—one of which may have contributed to his father’s death—to a duel with Winston Churchill's father, Edward VII lived a life full of intrigue and controversy. This video dives into the debauchery, drama, and larger-than-life escapades of the man who would become king. - The True Story Behind The Godfather Was Much BloodierE7
The True Story Behind The Godfather Was Much BloodierFor most people, their understanding of the Mafia comes straight from Hollywood classics like The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos. These films and shows have created a romanticized image of the Mafia—made men who rose from nothing to rule over powerful crime families. It’s all about money, power, loyalty, and a paradoxical code of honor. But how much of this is fact, and how much is fiction? In this video, we dive into the myths created by Hollywood and compare them to the real-world history of organized crime. - The Strange New York Island That’s Completely AbandonedE8

Behind the scenes, the TV family was embroiled in addiction and anguish that was frequently at odds with their carefully crafted image. - Timeline TV: 1990 - Everything That Happened In TV In The Year 1990E10

Inside The Dangerous World Of The YakuzaAmericans love stories about gangsters, often with nicknames like “The Nose” or “Joey Bag o’ Donuts.” But there are just as many larger-than-life stories about the Japanese Mafia – also known as the Yakuza – which are less famous here in the States, and haven’t been mythologized by American films. - Timeline TV: 1991 - Everything That Happened In TV In The Year 1991E14

Most Insanely Controversial TV Episodes Ever AiredControversy. The double-edged sword that can make or break a TV show, cementing it forever as an icon of the medium, or dooming it to bar trivia night obscurity. When a popular TV show does something provocatively against the mold, networks can expect to see some angry letters, protests, or even outright boycotts. Some of these episodes deserve the criticism they get, but should we give some of these other shows a break? - Timeline: South Park - The Complete History Of South ParkE16
Timeline: South Park - The Complete History Of South ParkOn September 30th, 1960, The Flintstones became the first animated series broadcast in primetime.

When A Killer Went On A Reality Dating ShowWhile the idea of a murderous mastermind like Hannibal Lecter is pure fiction, many serial killers have functioned well enough to pass as everyday people and avoid suspicion for years.

Studio 54: The Club That Was So Wild, They Had To Shut It DownIn the long line of historical decadence and self-indulgence, after Rome’s downfall and The Great Gatsby’s green light, there existed a place called Studio 54. For 33 incandescent months, this New York City nightclub became a glittering vortex of excess, hedonism, and people who didn’t need to be told twice about the merits of a good party. If Studio 54 was a church, then its founders, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, were its high priests, officiating a nightly mass of disco, decadence, and dubious decision-making. - TIMELINE TV: 1993 - Everything That Happened In TV In The Year 1993E22

The Strange Alaskan Town Where Everyone Lives In The Same BuildingWhen the United States needed a remote and isolated area for a military base, Whittier, Alaska was found to be more than qualified. The surrounding area was desolate and difficult to access, which made it perfect for a bomb-proof complex that could survive an air attack. Decades later, people still live in Whittier... but the thing is, the whole town is located entirely within a single building. - Timeline: Law & Order - The Complete History Of Law & OrderE24
Timeline: Law & Order - The Complete History Of Law & OrderIn the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime, and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. And if you already knew that, there’s a good chance it’s because you’ve watched N-B-C’s long running police-procedural-slash-legal-drama, Law and Order, or one of its roughly six hundred spin-offs. Famous for its split perspective between two sets of protagonists, Law and Order not only became one of the biggest shows of the 90s, but also one of the biggest franchises in the history of television. - Every Reason That Proves Man Vs. Wild Was FakeE25
Every Reason That Proves Man Vs. Wild Was FakeThe news that reality TV is frequently faked shouldn't come as a surprise. But given that Bear Grylls is an outdoor expert who survived a massive fall while in the British Special Forces, climbed Mt. Everest before he was 25, and traversed the North Atlantic in an inflatable raft, he gets the benefit of the doubt. But evidence suggests Grylls may not be as rugged a survivalist as he seems. In fact, some of his wilderness tips have even been called into question by other experts. So what gives? - TIMELINE TV: 1994 - Everything That Happened In TV In The Year 1994E26

Real-Life People Who Hated Their TV PortrayalsTV shows based on history are never 100% accurate. But it’s way worse for the real-life people whose lives become the plot of a movie or a TV show. Many people don't like how they're portrayed, with some calling the show about them a complete lie. Others have gotten so angry they sued. And many of them have just refused to watch - the worst fate for a TV show of all. - The Strange Jameson Whiskey Heir Who Dabbled in CannibalismE28
The Strange Jameson Whiskey Heir Who Dabbled in CannibalismJames Sligo Jameson was heir to the Jameson Whiskey family's fortune, but would have probably preferred everyone call him an adventurer - even if his track record is, uh, controversial.

Let us know in the comments! - The Strangest Queen Deaths That Still Haunt UsE30
The Strangest Queen Deaths That Still Haunt UsWhen it comes to the historical record, queens often get the short end of the sceptre. While kings busied themselves waving swords about, claiming new lands, and occasionally losing their heads - metaphorically or literally - queens were often quietly doing the work of running kingdoms, securing dynastic successions, and surviving their wacky husbands. Except when they didn’t. Ruling a country can really take the life out of you. - Timeline: The Sopranos - The Complete History Of The SopranosE31
Timeline: The Sopranos - The Complete History Of The SopranosToday on Timeline TV: Deep Dive, we go way deep into The Sopranos!

Every Strange Rule Amish Women Must FollowFamous for shunning nearly all forms of modern technology and convenience - including electricity - the Amish community is often viewed as a quaint, peaceful enclave untouched by modern woes.

What Dating During The Great Depression Was LikeThe Great Depression was far more depressing than it was “great,” and like any national crisis worth its salt, it took its toll on everyone’s sexual relationships.

Not the animal kind. - The Biggest Celebrity Scandal From Every DecadeE39
The Biggest Celebrity Scandal From Every DecadeFor as long as there have been celebrities, there has been celebrity gossip. When you sign on to be a celebrity in Hollywood, you also sign an unspoken contract putting you on public display.

As it turns out, Americans have been obsessing over celebrity drama for over 100 years. - Timeline TV: 1998 - Everything That Happened In TV In The Year 1998E40

When A Talk Show Appearance Leads To MurderBefore we had Real Housewives, ultra-rich Kardashians, and more Bachelors and Bachelorettes than we can count, viewing audiences looking to rot their brains for an hour or two had watch daytime talk shows. Following the success of The Jerry Springer Show, talk shows of the era became increasingly sensational to try and top each other in the ratings.

How does something like this happen? - Why The Great Depression Wasn't As Bad As You ThinkE44

The 9 Best Times In History To Be AliveLiving in the 21st century feels like the peak of civilization - we’ve mastered central air conditioning and we have all the modern conveniences that make it so we essentially never have to lift a finger again except to order more door dash.

And could the perks of a bygone era convince you to hop into a time machine? - Why Dear Zachary Is The Most Heartbreaking Documentary Ever MadeE46

When The Soviets Tried To Create Human-Chimp Hybrids... From movies like the Fly and The Island of Dr. Moreau to modern classics like Splice or Dog Man, the movie going public can't seem to get enough of a human mixed with some kind of other animal. Plots involving these types of monsters aren't just great sci-fi fodder either. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a worldwide fascination in scientific advancements led many of those on the less ethical side to ask the question “why can’t we make monkey men?” And by “less ethical,” we mean “Joseph Stalin.” - Timeline Movies: 1981 - Everything That Happened In Movies In The Year 1981E49

What Life In Pompeii Was Like BEFORE The EruptionIn the year 79 C-E, the volcano Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the Roman town of Pompeii and hundreds of its inhabitants beneath a sea of lava and a cloud of ash. Ironically, the same forces that destroyed the city also preserved Pompeii’s remains in a way that has given archaeologists a unique glimpse of what everyday life was like there in the weeks leading up to the big bang. - Timeline Movies: 1982 - The Movies That Defined 1982E51
Timeline Movies: 1982 - The Movies That Defined 19821982 was going to be the nerdiest year of film anyone had ever seen as pulp genre films took over the mainstream in a major way. Most of the world would get their first look at computer generated special effects in ‘Tron’. A weirdly fleshy alien would capture hearts around the entire world. A different fleshy alien would try to take over the world. A Blade would run, and a Conan would barbarian. Honestly, it was hard to imagine what other movies could do to compete… What was YOUR favorite movie of 1982?

Fired For Wasting A Paperclip? | History's Worst CheapskatesMisers: We all know the type. They hoard their money and delight in their savings regardless of the human cost, or how incredibly rich they already may be. Ebenezer Scrooge from A Christmas Carol is the most famous miser of all time; and while he may never have existed, plenty of other misers were all too real. And none of them changed their ways for the better after meeting three ghosts and/or plucky nephew - Timeline Movies: 1983 - Everything That Happened In Movies In 1983E53
Timeline Movies: 1983 - Everything That Happened In Movies In 19831983 was an important year for film, and not just because it was the year a film called Octopussy was in theaters and we all pretended that wasn’t weird.

What Hygiene Was Like For Medieval PeasantsDespite living in an era long before indoor plumbing, shampoo, and nail salons, the people of the Middle Ages used the best hygiene practices they could. That being said, they didn't have a lot to work with. Mostly straw and dirt, to be honest. So how did people keep clean in an era when most peasants only had one set of clothing? We’re glad you asked - Timeline Movies: 1984 - The Best Year In Movie History?E55
Timeline Movies: 1984 - The Best Year In Movie History?George Orwell predicted 1984 would be a totalitarian nightmare, but he didn’t know it would be the year that the Muppets took Manhattan, Tom Hanks went on a date with a mermaid, and the Star Trek crew searched for Spock. And you ain’t seen nothing yet… - Why Did Jesus Become White?E56
Why Did Jesus Become White?Historians widely agree that Jesus was an historical figure who did exist; but what he actually looked like is still anyone’s guess. Considering he was born in the Middle East, you would think he looked like a Middle Eastern man. But that’s not how he’s usually depicted. - Timeline Movies: 1985 - A Defining Year For MoviesE57

Being Locked Up Overseas Is Worse Than You ThinkIt’s every traveler’s nightmare: you’re exploring another country, soaking in the culture, maybe butchering the language a little… and suddenly, boom, you’re arrested. Sometimes it’s a misunderstanding. Sometimes it’s politics. And sometimes... well, sometimes you just shouldn’t try to steal a propaganda poster. - Timeline Movies: 1987 -Everything That Happened In The Movies In 1987E61

What Happened To These 90s Websites?In the 1990s using the internet was like walking through a forest. On an unknown alien world. At night. Wearing a blindfold.

But many of the sites that won our hearts have long since disappeared into the mists of history. - The Darkest Secrets From ChernobylE65
