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.

Sinopsis: Rick Green exposes the myths of Confederation and skewers the nations’ leaders showing how Canada’s battle to be free of Britain was more a case of Britain pushing us away. Starting from the days of Cabot and Cartier, we see how this French colony of Canada became British. Wolfe and Montcalm’s battle for The Plains of Abraham is recreated using robots and bat creatures. Rick compares the bloodbath of the American Revolution to the booze-ups behind Canadian Confederation. A parade of plucky Prime Ministers reveals how the True North Strong and Free was the result of chance, chicanery, and double dealing. It’s the shocking, funny and outrageous story of a bunch of small colonies who went from being Mother Britain’s ‘momma’s boy’ to a world leader in niceness.
