Best show on TV
This is the best show on TV. Non stop laughs and ya'learn something.
shareI agree. I especially enjoyed the recent History Bites hour long special about the British Empire. I was terrible at history in school; I still remember those horrible Louis Riel timelines we had to complete in grade 10. Most of what I remember is how much I resented our teacher for them (but what DON'T you resent when you're 15??). But this show actually makes me want to pick up a book and learn more about history! I sound like a commercial, but oh well. Kudos to Rick Green for this inventive show. There's none like it; I just wish it had better air times. It used to be on the History channel weekday afternoons, now it's on like, what, 2:30 AM on Sunday or something??? Talk about being kicked around! It's like the way Fox treated Futurama! But I digress...I just ate a Chocolate Brownie Batter Blizzard from Dairy Queen, and I'm JUST A LITTLE HYPER!!!!! ;)

Baby, have some faith...good is as real as the evil.
I missed that nice afternoon timeslot. Moving it seemed like a stupid idea. Why not air a show that might actually attract teenage afterschool viewers (like me at the time)instead of the boring junk they put in it's place. Imagine my dissapointment when I realized my show had been booted for travels through Rural Canada, or whatever it was.
Try, if possible, to actually read through this, and you will see that Rick Green did NOT create this show. He performed and wrote on 6 of the shows. Put your glasses on and try your very best to put aside all your assumptions about who does what based on their celebrity quotient.

Read through what? Your post? All I got from your post was offense and mild depression. Maybe I am wrong, although if I am it's only partially, but do you have to be so MEAN about it? I wasn't assuming the info based on his celebrity quotient...I thought he created it! Jeez!

Instead of being rude to Ithinktoomuch try to do some research before you ridicule others. If you go to http://www.historybites.com/ you will notice he has a writing credit on every single episode. Also, an acting credit on every single episode. There a total of 102 episodes. I have seen him in more than 6 episodes, playing characters other than the host. IMDB is not always correct.

a few years ago, I went to check out Bruno gerussi (sp).....from beachcombers.....
and I said, um, this show was on for what 20 years...and you have him listed in 1 eppy....I believe that it's since been corrected....
but yes....they list people having ridiculous episodes on a show...
like let's take another example....so and so actor will be listed on a soap......for maybe 200 episodes...when they've been on the show for like 20 years...so that should read maybe 2000 instead...
or they'll say that so and so was in a soap from the time they joined....98 to today....when they've missed 10 years of the show, and came back...
they used to get it right.....they'd put 98-2201 let's say....2003, if they came back for a bit.....and then if they came back years later....they'd say 2013 to today....
not continuously.........from the day they started......until today

I was really sad to see it go......I tried to watch all the eppies, but I'm sure that I missed quite a few of them....
but anyway it was great....how they blended the modern with history....and all that...
some of the stuff that cracked me up was the Martha stewart and Barbara walters....stuff...and I don't even really like the two women....so
