Prometheus and Bob is one of the shorts on the Nickelodeon show "KaBlam!". Prometheus is an advanced alien who has come to Earth in an attempt to educate a caveman, Bob. Bob is a particularly slow and idiotic caveman and Prometheus' attempts to educate him usually end in frustration and failure. The other main character, Monkey, sometimes portrayed as being smarter than Bob, is a chimp who is normally looking out for his own entertainment. He often plays a part in sabotaging Prometheus' attempts to teach Bob. The show's creator, writer and animator, Cote Zellers also supplies the voices for the characters.

At the start of every episode, a voice-over explains the show...

:"What you are about to see is top secret.":"It is a videotape recorded 900,000 years ago, by an alien using a remote controlled camera.":"It shows his attempts to educate a caveman.":"They have been codenamed "The Prometheus and Bob tapes"."

The voice-over is presented in the form of a totally serious, secret document. This is followed by a shot of some strange alien writing (similar to crop circles in appearance, possibly referring to the myth that they were made by extraterrestrials), which is translated by the voice-over, which is then the episode name. At the end of every episode the camera goes blank and more alien writing appears, with the translation "End".

Film

A live-action "Prometheus and Bob" film was announced in 1998 to be directed by Harold Zwart and produced by Amy Heckerling, but apparently fell through due to lack of interest.
