PRANK PATROL
100 Episodes, 2005 – 2008
In this hilarious series, lucky viewers get to create, build and execute a big-time prank! All they have to do is call in the… Prank Patrol! In their customized “SpyVan”, our fun-loving host and two prank-loving Ninjas (who drive the van, conduct surveillance on the victims, and help to set up the pranks) take the Prankster to the skilled people who can help them put together and pull off the prank of a lifetime. Think of it as a popular design-and-build show (i.e. Monster Garage / Junkyard Wars / Trading Spaces) meets Punk’d!
