Perhaps the world's only animated sketch comedy educational series, Histeria delivers lessons that stick – to your funny bone. Hosted by Father Time (voice of Frank Welker), the cartoon cast careens through time to deliver historical facts from Siberia to Sumeria, despite the efforts of Miss Information (voice of Laraine Newman), the claims of The World's Oldest Woman (voice of Tress MacNeille) and the perpetually poopy diapers of the egg shaped Big Fat Baby (Luke Ruegger). Histeria comes complete with its own Kid Chorus to underscore the history lessons and often provide the impetus for some most unusual interactions with some of history's most famous and infamous characters (and more opening theme songs than you can shake a Greek javelin at!). Among the voices of the recurring cast can be heard vocal luminaries like James Wickline, Rob Paulsen, Billy West, Paul Rugg and Nora Dunn. So get set for 52 fact-music-and-mirth-filled history lessons!
