This documentary drama series tells the story of the Thirty Years War from the perspective of the people who experienced it: like the soldier Peter Hagendorf, the "Winter Queen" Elisabeth Stuart, the famous artist Peter Paul Rubens and the "Grey Eminence" Father Joseph. This visual memory of the 17th century forms the 'archive footage' in the series. Combined with vivid drama and contributions from international experts, the series builds a bridge between "now" and "then" enabling viewers to experience what it was like to live through the Thirty Years' War.

The episodes first aired on AMC on Sunday mornings, before being rerun and syndicated to other networks. The show debuted on October 12, 2003. It was hosted by Peter Bart and Peter Guber. Each half-hour episode usually had two segments; one in which Guber and Bart discussed various topics in the film industry, and one where they jointly interviewed that week's guest.

The show's last episode at its customary timeslot was December 21, 2008.

Patent Bending is a Canadian reality television series that premiered August 22, 2006, on the Discovery Channel.

Once physically realised, the flaws in these ideas tend to be humorously obvious and explain the ideas' lack of commercial success.
