GEEK OUT OR FREAK OUT (SCIENCE)
DEVELOPMENT HISTORY:
3/31/15
STATUS:
previously in development (2015-2016 season)
DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
ordered to series
DESCRIPTION:
(from Science Channel's press release, March 2015) Part game show, part science experiment, part amusement park, GEEK OUT OR FREAK OUT is a new kind of science show. We're putting the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology on display in a BIG way and having a whole a lot of fun in the process. Shot in front of an awestruck audience and hosted by our resident mad scientist, every episode will include unexpected chemical reactions, bizarre feats of physics, outrageous human stunts, and even some stuff launched into space. Along the way, we'll put members of the audience to the test and give them the chance to win incredible Geek Out Prizes (a personal tour of Space X anyone?). But, on GOFO we don't do anything without spectacle, and that's where the "Freak Out" part comes in. Contestants could find themselves in any number of ridiculous and sometimes terrifying contraptions. If you know you're stuff, you'll walk away with a prize. If you don't, you'll get tossed, dropped, or dunked. All in the name of science, of course.
