Prototype This

Prototype This

Prototype This is an upcoming TV series that will "look into the viability of gadgets and technology seen in science-fiction movies". [Scott Ellis, No myths busted about Australian success, The Sunday Morning Herald, January 7, 2007. Accessed January 8, 2007.] It stars Zoz Brooks, Joe Grand, Michael North, and Terry Sandin.

Although this show shares producers (Beyond Productions) and location (San Francisco Bay Area, California) with the TV series "MythBusters", it is entirely distinct.

The pilot episode for the series was shot at TechShop in Menlo Park in December 2006. Three sets were constructed in TechShop's large conference room, and the machine shop and sheet metal shop were painted in color schemes that would look good on camera. Many parts of the TechShop facilities were used in the show pilot, including the main workshop, welding shop, and laser cutter room.

The series will premiere October 15th, 2008, on The Discovery Channel.

Format

The series will be in 13 parts.

The show is about inventions and prototypes.
