History Bites



First Aired in 1998

Made in Canada. This is a Canadian Series.

1. Host Rick Green guides us through various periods of world history as contemporary television programming might have depicted it. With a sense of humour, we learn the real facts about the past and their link with the present.

=================
2. History Bites is a skit comedy show that explores the premise, "What if television had been around for the past 5,000 years?" Each episode channel surfs through a particular day in history and the result is a history lesson hidden inside a clever spoof of TV.
==============================
The one hour specials; History Bites Mother Britain and History Bites Uncle Sam are created, produced and directed by Rick Green and Executive Produced by S&S Productions – the same team behind all five seasons of the series History Bites. Season five of History Bites can be seen on History Televison and earlier seasons on The Comedy Network
