History Bites
Overview
History Bites was a television series on the History Television network that ran from 1998-2003. Created by Rick Green, History Bites explored what would be on television if the medium had been around for the last 5,000 years of human history. Typically, a significant historical event was chosen and mock news, sports and entertainment programming was created around it. Each episode included several segments of Green offering historical background of the episode's chosen era and otherwise showed frequent shifts from one comedy sketch to another representing a channel-surfing viewer who never watched any one sketch for more than a few minutes at a time. Reruns of History Bites are currently being shown on History Television and The Comedy Network.
This production, originally released in 1998, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Documentary genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 6.0 across its 5 seasons.
