Hard Hat Harry was a children's television show that aired from 1995 to 1996. The show was created by Jim Larriera and starred Craig Mason as the titular character, Hard Hat Harry. The show was aimed at young children and focused on teaching them about different types of construction equipment and how they were used in various construction sites.

Each episode of the show followed a similar structure. Hard Hat Harry would visit a construction site and speak with the workers there, who would explain to him how different pieces of equipment worked. The show featured a variety of construction equipment, including cranes, bulldozers, and excavators. Hard Hat Harry would often get the chance to operate some of the equipment himself, with the workers guiding him through the process.

In addition to learning about construction equipment, the show also focused on teaching children about different construction sites and the purposes they served. For example, Hard Hat Harry visited a road construction site where he learned about how roads were built and maintained. He also visited a skyscraper construction site where he learned about the process of building a tall building.

One of the things that set Hard Hat Harry apart from other children's shows was its use of live-action footage of construction sites and equipment. The show did not rely on animation or puppets, instead choosing to show real-life construction workers and equipment in action. This gave children a more realistic and accurate idea of how construction sites operated and the kind of work that construction workers did.

The show also featured an educational aspect, with each episode ending with a quiz about the equipment and construction site that had been featured. This encouraged children to pay attention and retain the information they had learned throughout the episode. Hard Hat Harry would ask the children questions about the equipment and construction site, and then provide the correct answer along with some additional information.

The show was hosted by three different actors over its run. Craig Mason played Hard Hat Harry in the first season, while Anthony Meindl took over the role for the second season. Joe Plummer also appeared as a host in some episodes. All three actors played the role of Hard Hat Harry in a similar way, with a friendly and enthusiastic demeanor that made it clear they were excited to learn about construction equipment right alongside the children watching at home.

Hard Hat Harry was well-received by both children and parents during its run. Many parents praised the educational aspect of the show and appreciated the fact that it taught children about real-life jobs like construction work. The show's focus on safety was also praised, with Hard Hat Harry always emphasizing the importance of wearing the proper safety equipment while operating construction equipment.

Overall, Hard Hat Harry was a unique and educational children's show that taught kids about the world of construction work. The show's focus on real-life equipment and sites, paired with its engaging and friendly hosts, made it a hit with young viewers.

Hard Hat Harry is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (24 episodes). The series first aired on January 1, 1995.
