The show's logo from season 1.
Status: Partially Lost
Prank Patrol was a Canadian children's series that was created by Apartment 11 Productions and Marvista Entertainment and aired on YTV from September 6, 2005[1][2] to February 26, 2010 for 100 episodes. The show revolves around host André "Andy" Simoneau and a team of ninjas helping kids pull pranks on an unsuspecting victim (usually a family member or friend). The show became a moderate success for YTV and two international versions of the show were also made in the United Kingdom and Australia and both became successful in their own right[3][4]. The show has been compared to Punk'd, another prank show that was airing at the time.
Premise
Each episode sees Andy and the Ninjas help kids pull off pranks on an unsuspecting victim (which is usually a family member or friend), with the prank in question usually being a success. Also each episode includes an animated segment called "Recipe For A Prank" which shows a boy and girl pulling pranks on each other. The ninjas also pull pranks on the public and Andy in some episodes.
