Prototype This is a current TV series that claims to "look into the viability of gadgets and technology seen in science-fiction movies".[1] 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 premiered on October 15th, 2008, on The Discovery Channel.
Format
The series will be in 13 parts.
The show is about inventions and prototypes.
