Why is it that most people can't list the first three leaders of their country but can tell you the name of every contestant that appeared on Survivor? Because Survivor is on TV! 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. “...A shrewd and delightfully nervy double parody of television and ancient Rome ... History Bites maintains a crisp staccato pace and, incredibly enough, a tone of believability...” Henry Mietkiewicz, Toronto Star --- NOMINATED FOR BEST COMEDY PROGRAM OR SERIES; BEST ENSEMBLE PERFORMANCE IN A COMEDY PROGRAM OR SERIES
