Production notes
Hosted by Father Time, this show romps through history and time, telling its stories in a humorous way. In a sketchg-based comedy not unlike Saturday Night Live, the recurring characters often took on the historical roles in the stories they were telling.
originally slated to run 65 episodes, when production went over budget by $10 million, the series was quietly canceled in November 1998. Ultimately, only 52 episodes were made. Many of the later episodes had footage from previous episodes re-used and re-timed to match newly recorded audio to help with the budget problems.
