The ''Re-Inventors'' was a Canadian TV show based around exploring historic inventions and testing them. The show followed the hosts, Matt Hunter and Jeremy MacPherson, as they dug up some formerly patented inventions to see how ideas from the past hold up in the present world. In each episode, the hosts chose a historic invention and attempted to rebuild it. The hosts would examine the original patent information, including blueprints, then, along with additional tradesmen as needed, build the prototypes, and test each of these, often strange, inventions to see if any could actually succeed. Often, a few related inventions would be tested in the same episode. Each invention was given a set of evaluation criteria before being tested. At the end of the episode, the invention was graded and if the invention was considered to have met the evaluation criteria, it was granted the title of 'Patent Approved'. If the invention proved to be less than effective, it was granted the title 'Patent Denied'. The TV series was developed by Christopher Triffo, CSC; he directed all 35 episodes. The show was hosted by Matt Hunter and Jeremy MacPherson. Matt Hunter is an artist and craftsman, and played the on-screen contractor on the Canadian lifestyle program "Colour Confidenetial" for 65 episodes prior to co-hosting The Re-Inventors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Re-Inventors )〕 Jeremy MacPherson is a special effects artist and carpenter who has worked on hundreds of film and television productions, most notibly X-Men, Chicago, Resident Evil: Apocalypse and K-19: The Widowmaker.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Re-Inventors )〕 On History Television, two half-hour episodes were typically broadcast back-to-back in a one-hour time slot.
